Tried to Upgrade to 7, w/o success, so I downgraded to 6.x. Now, after the release of 7.0.1 I hoped this bug will be solved already, yet get the error:

Hi Per,
Thanks. I've read it, but it's not really explain what I need to perform...
I followed the steps, I'm copy the necessary directories but still - not get in install page ...
If you didnt modify your configuration files on your current site, then all you will need to move over is the database connectionstring, but the most normal places peope have changes is in appsettings in web.config and in the /config/umbracosettins.config file - so compare your current config files with the ones included in the V7 download and copy your changes over.
Finally!! Success !!
It's was hard ...
I copied also to Config folder , as well as changed the config file. however, had lot of issues with the MVC versions (3 & 4) - anyway, I think the Umbraco team should have make the process more automate as well as post more detail upgrade guide with common errors cases.
honestly, I think I prefer the old version ... (6.1.6 ..)
But just realized that I have now another (annoying..) issue..
All my Like disappears from my news items. Try to figure out why - I see that now all my pages appear with out the .aspx, mean just the address - maybe this the reason?
For example - just copied a link from my site:
opli.net/opli_magazine/astronomy/2013/tiny-but-ultra-bright-quartet-of-ancient-galaxies-takes-astronomers-by-surprise-jan/
before the upgrade it was:
opli.net/opli_magazine/astronomy/2013/tiny-but-ultra-bright-quartet-of-ancient-galaxies-takes-astronomers-by-surprise-jan.aspx/
by default Umbraco uses directory urls without any file extensions, you can change this in the web.config by changing the appsettings > umbracoUseDirectoryUrls
to false.
Remember to republish your pages after changing this setting to change the urls
Will look into our upgrade guides, we do already outline a ton of things for people to take into account, will add that mvc v4 requirement.

Hi Meni
How are you upgrading? - are you using the config files provided with 7.0.1 ? the error indicates, theres an issue with a config file
/Per
Hi Per,
So I just follow the instruction on the Upgrading page - http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Installation/Upgrading/general
I downlad the zip file, unzipped, then copy these folders using FileZilla:
Then get the error ...
That's it.
And then - downgrade again (same proccess..) to 6.1.4 :(
Since version 7 is a mayor version upgrade, you will need to perform some extra steps, for instandce the config files need to be modified:

You should merge your config files manually.
Ok Alexander, Thanks. But, how do I do it?
If you didnt modify your configuration files on your current site, then all you will need to move over is the database connectionstring, but the most normal places peope have changes is in appsettings in web.config and in the /config/umbracosettins.config file - so compare your current config files with the ones included in the V7 download and copy your changes over.
For comparing the changes in the configs You can use a merge-tool such as WinMerge
Try it out - it's free
