Hi Lee

Did you read the instructions on the package page before you did the upgrade? http://our.umbraco.org/projects/umbraco-pro/contour

What version of Contour are you upgrading from? And to which version?

What does the server error tell you?

/Jan

From

Umbraco Contour version 3.0.17

to

UmbracoContour_3.0.23.zip

My emails are not being sent, so i'm hoping an upgrade will help!!

Hey Lee,

Which errors are you getting? Any more details you can share?

Its the old classic:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Runtime Error

Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine. 

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
    </system.web>

Not sure what happed, but I changed to web.config file to this and no errors... huh?

<customErrors mode="true" />

Hi Lee

Ok, seems you just needed to recycle the app pool for some reason. It's being recycled whenever the web.config is saved for instance.

Good that it works now :)

Darn... nope when I log into Umbraco, I do get the:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Hi Lee

Ok...but then change the customErrors attribute from true to off like it says on the screen. Then you'll see the real error.

OK, this makes real sense:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Hi Lee,

Could it be this issue that you are facing. Try to see this blogpost from Umbraco http://umbraco.com/follow-us/blog-archive/2014/10/16/getting-a-systemwebhttpapicontroller-error/

Hope this helps,

/Dennis

Hi Lee

Perhaps try having a look at this issue http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/CON-492 - Seems to be the same error message you're getting.
