Have been testing upgrading 4.5 - 6, I followed the general upgrade instructions and version specific as much as possible. I merged config files.
I had a few problems during the install, Initially I could not browse the site at all with dll extension errors; I ended up removing all files in /bin that were not in the 6.1.3 /bin.
Next, when I copied the database to test I did not cop PK's and FK's so of course i got an error during the database upgrade, stopped the upgrade and copied the database correctly.
Then the install was succesful.
but now Browsing to the home page rendered blank. I logged in to the backend and all of my nodes and content is there.
I did a republish using: umbraco/dialogs/republish.aspx?xml=true
Same result but /App_Data/umbraco.config was updated and content is there.
I tried to do a preview of a page and it also renders blank but I noticed that a .config was written to /app_data/preview and has content.
I am not getting any errors in the umbracolog table - only show publish performed or open
Also there is no log file at /App_data/Log - actually there is no Log folder at all.
I rolled everything back to 4.5.2 and tried the install again - only this time
I first deleted the following folders:
/App_Browsers
/App_Data
/bin
/Config
/data
/Install
/python
/Umbraco
/Umbraco_Client
Copied the following folders / files from the 6.1.3 release:
/App_Browsers
/App_Data
/App_Plugins
/bin
/Config
/Install
/Umbraco
/Umbraco_Client
/Views
global.asax
Used the web.config from the 6.1.3 release and added my specific settings and connection string. set umbracoConfigurationStatus to 4.5.2
Since I am also updating to .Net to 4.0 I changed the app pool to 4.0 and recycled
Browse to the website to start the install.
The database configuration completes without error.
And then the install hangs :(
Eventually I stop it and have to restart the website.
Browsing to the site still renders a blank page, I can log in to the backend and all my content is there.
BUT NOW I HAVE A LOG FILE!!
2 things: this is the last part of the log when the install hangs:

this is probably why I am see blank pages:

the Name of the template is actually Home[CNI] and it does exist in the masterpages folder.
Updated 8/23: I created a new template file and named it HomeCNI the page renders even though the selected template in the backend is Home [CNI]...
An umbraco version between 6.0.0 and 6.1.6 strips periods, brackets and maybe other things. Rename your templates to something without those and it should work again :).
Upgrade 4.5.2 to 6.1.3 - pages render blank but all content is in backend

Having a similar problem with an upgrade from v4.7.2 to v7. Some of our template names do have a hyphen in them so maybe this is the same issue here.
is working on a reply...
