I've been working on upgrading an old site to a modern version of Umbraco, and most of that testing was with Umbraco 10.3.2. I've also done some investigation around Umbraco 11.
If I point my 10.3.2 install at the old 8.5.5 database, all is well. It asks me to log in, then upgrades the database and everything works. I can then upgrade from 10.3.2 to 11 without issue.
However, if I try to go directly from 8.5.5 to 11 then it still asks me to log in, but gives "login failed for user [me]" when I enter the correct credentials. The log has a SqlException: "Invalid column name 'hasAccessToAllLanguages'".
Is this expected behaviour or have I uncovered a bug in the upgrade process? Google returns zero hits for "hasAccessToAllLanguages" which is interesting :)
Thanks. I wonder why Jacques got an "unsupported" message instead of the SqlException that I got... but now when people Google for "hasAccessToAllLanguages" they'll hopefully get this thread and find out what's going on :)
Umbraco 8 to 11 upgrade not possible?
