    Upgrade 7 to 8: Input string was not in a correct format

    I hope someone can help me with a hint on where to look and what to look after.

    I'm upgrading an Umbraco 7.17.5 to Umbraco 8.1.6 and everything seems ok, except this fatal error:

    The database failed to upgrade. ERROR: The database configuration failed with the following message: Input string was not in a correct format. Please check log file for additional information (can be found in '/App_Data/Logs/')

    The log file dosen't show more info (what, where), so I'm totally blank.

    Bellow, the entries regarding the error:

    Hi Jon, From what I understand you can really upgrade from 7-8 in the normal way you would upgrade umbraco.

    What you need to do is migrate the content in to a new installation of Umbraco 8.

    Have a look at this article here:
