Hi, I am in the process of upgrading a website from v6 to v7.0.0 but I keep running into the same issue.
I am following the guide at Blix.co, I get to the end of the section that talks about editing my web.config file, attempt to load the site and I run into 500 - Internal Server Error.
The website is hosted on a VM so I have restored a previous checkpoint and tried a few times with the same result. I am using .net v4.5.
Can anyone give me advice as to where to start looking for the cause of the error?
Does the error contain any more details? Could it be a merge of the web.config that has gone wrong and added duplicate elements or something like that?
Thanks for your replies. There are no extra details in the error message, literally just:
500 - Internal server error.
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.
The error message comes up instantaneously when I load any pages. There were quite substantial differences between the web.config files and so I suspect that the error lives in there.
Thanks for the links, I will restore the VM to v6 of Umbraco and follow that information, hopefully with better results!
I am in the process of upgrading again from the backup. It may (or may not) be worth mentioning that I did successfully upgrade from v4.11 to v6 yesterday.
Hi, I think the problem was that I had left too much in my web.config file when merging them together. I used to new version without any merges from my existing file other than copying the connection settings to its new home. I am now running into YSOD issues but I will start a new thread regarding these.

Hi Paul,
Perhaps the upgrade documentation can help you https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/installation/upgrading/general and there is also a guide if there are some specific things to do on a X version of Umbraco. https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Installation/Upgrading/version-specific
And last there is a full Umbraco 7 upgrade guide. https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/installation/upgrading/v7-upgrade
Hope this can help you.

Hi Paul

Make sure to read the official guide on going from 6 to 7 as well https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Installation/Upgrading/v7-upgrade
