Migrating umbraco 4.11.8 to new server with same specs

Hello, I'm having some issues migrating a live umbraco (v4.11.8) installation hosted on WinServer 2008 R2 with MSSQL Server Standard 2008 and IIS7.5 to a staging server with almost the same specs, the only difference is the SQL Server which is the MSSQL Server Web Edition 2008.

Basically what I've done during the process is what is suggested in many other posts related to this one. I've backed up the DB and then restore it into the new server. In terms of the files I just zipped the folder and moved over to the new server.

I have also added read/write permission rights to that folder for II_IUSRS group, so IIS can access web.config file.

When I'm trying to access the site, that's the error I've got:

Can someone please advise how can I solve this issue?

Thanks

Hi Jaime and welcome to our.

Does the new server have the URL Rewrite installed. If not try to install it on the server and see if this solve the problem.

You can download the URL rewrite module http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite

Hope this helps,

/Dennis

Thanks Dennis, that seemed to work, because at least it turned into something else. Now I'm having an error apparently because it couldn't load an assembly:

Parser Error Message: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Helpers, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Make sure to install MVC on your server, see: http://stackoverflow.com/a/267021/5018

Thanks Sebastiaan, I've installed it now. The server is now asking that

Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Mvc, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

There's no assembly line in the web.config file referring to that version of MVC 'System.Web.Mvc, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'.

In your runtime\assemblyBinding section in your web.config you probably need to change the bindingRedirect on System.Web.Mvc to 4.0.0.1:
```
  <dependentAssembly>
    <assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Mvc" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" culture="neutral" />
    <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-4.0.0.1" newVersion="4.0.0.1" />
  </dependentAssembly>
```

Jaime, it almost sounds like you don't have the full bin folder deployed to your site. It should have contained System.Web.Mvc.dll (v4.0.0.0) and should contain System.Web.WebPages.Razor.dll. Are you sure you deployed everything properly?

@Sebastiaan, I've copied the whole website directory from the live server, so whatever is in there, is what I have in the staging server. That's my frustration as I'm new with Umbraco and thought that just simply copying the files along and restoring the DB should be right, but it seems that it isn't that simple.

Is it somewhere I can download those assemblies I'm missing?

Sorry that that's been your first experience with Umbraco, we've improved it so much since version 4!

That said, the WebPages.Razor dll IS in the 4.11.8 package so it should be in your bin folder as well, make sure to compare your current bin folder with the bin folder in UmbracoCms.4.11.8.zip downloaded from here: https://our.umbraco.org/contribute/releases/4118/

Thanks, what I mean to do actually is perform the upgrade of the CMS in the live site, but before doing it there, I opted to set an staging environment first to avoid any chance of breaking anything in there. So because it's been developed by someone else, I having all of these dependency issues.

Now that I have copied all the .dll from the online version, the server is telling me this:

Ah, so the error you were getting was actually because there's a different version of the dll found in the GAC, so once again you have to tell Umbraco to use the version in your bin folder, add this to your web.config and see if that helps:
```
  <dependentAssembly>
    <assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.WebPages.Razor" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" />
    <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-2.0.0.0" newVersion="2.0.0.0" />
  </dependentAssembly>
```

I've got it working now (sight), I downloaded the bin folder from the last 6.x.x version and pasted it on the staging bin folder.

Now the thing is to proceed with the upgrade, do you have any suggestions about it? knowing the version of the CMS I'm on (4.11.8), and aiming to the last version 7.x.x.

Yeah, my suggestion if you're new is good luck! :-)

It really depends on the packages and custom datatypes you have installed. Realistically, most people on 4.11 can get up to 6.2.5 without too many problems but in v7 the backoffice is almost completely rewritten and most custom datatypes will have to be replaced with newer versions. Your mileage may vary.

Upgrade guides:
- https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Installation/Upgrading/general
- https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Installation/Upgrading/version-specific
Then there's also a recommended upgrade path on this site: http://code.leekelleher.com/umbraco/archive/
