Anyone else getting this error? We tried again today to upgrade our Umbraco installation and still get the same error.

It's interesting to see that no other developer has had this issue while using nuget and upgrading. We have a pretty standard install of Umbraco. Just bumping this up again in case it got missed last week.

Thanks!

I had to comment this part out in order to get the upgrade to get passed the error. Still not sure if i should proceed with the database update... I have a backup so i'm gonna try and see what happens.

    <!-- Role Provider -->
    <!--<roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="UmbracoRoleProvider">
      <providers>
        <clear />
        <add name="UmbracoRoleProvider" type="Umbraco.Web.Security.Providers.MembersRoleProvider" />
      </providers>
    </roleManager>-->

Now i get this error during the upgrade (which fails)

Server Error in '/' Application.

I am getting the same error.  Upgrading from 6.0.6 to 6.2.5

Problem resolved.  I had code running in the constructor of a class inheriting from IApplicationEventHandler and in the OnApplicationInitialized.  This code required membership to be initialized.  Commenting the code before upgrade seems to have resolved the issue.

Server event log showed the error occurred in System.Web.Security.Membership.Initialize().

Install is running now.

Just to add a potential solution for anyone else landing here after seeing this error.

I stuffed up my build scripts and therefore my web.config. I was missing all the very important keys under < appSettings > - if you do this too you'll see the error above!

This exact error can also be caused by a missing Global.asax file. Turns out.

I had this issue. Turned out I messed up the umbracoDbDSN connection string on a web.config transform.

Just to add to this:

Run into the same error when I tried to create a Global.asax.cs

In your Global.asax.cs:

using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Web.Routing;
using Umbraco.Web;

namespace Myapp.Web
{
    //This class has to inherit from UmbracoApplication or else you get an error
    public class Global : UmbracoApplication
    {
        protected void Application_Start()
            {
             //stuff in here
            };
        }
    }
}

For anyone that missed it:

if your class doesn't inherit from UmbracoApplication, you'll get the same error

I had the same error when I was setting up a new deploy pipeline.

Turns out that global.asax wasn't copied to the deploy-directory. After adding this files things worked.

is working on a reply...
