Umbraco Upgrade Troubleshooting

Using Umbraco And Getting Started

Umbraco 6

Hi

I have embarked on my First Umbraco 7 (7.5.13) Upgrade from 6.1.6 and it hasn't gone without problems!

I have done it manually and I have got to a point where the majority of the site front end is working but still have some problems that I am now hitting a wall with. I think they are all related but unsure where to go from here.

First Problem ~ In the backend, a few of the editor windows aren't styled. For example, the Edit Template window:

Edit Template window

Also the XSLT and Macro editor

Second Problem~ If I click save in the unstyled edit template window It doesn't save but chrome dev tools says:

http://mywebsite/umbraco/RestServices/SaveFile/SaveTemplate 417 (Expectation Failed)

The log, however, doesn't say anything abnormal happened.

Third problem~ In the front end, some of my pages show "gobbledygook". The particular one is a page with a contact form from a usercontrol on it.

gobbledygook

The log file says:

No physical template file was found for template

If I look at the template in the backend it is blank but if I look at the actual file its still all there. If it makes a difference the filename is similar to "mywebsite-contactform.master" (with a dash)

I have followed the following pages (or at least think I have):

How to Diagnose Umbraco Upgrade Problems

I am sure I have just missed something, but I cannot work out what! Can anyone help?

Thanks

Well after much hair pulling I started over and it's got slightly better but not much!

The Styles on the edit pages now show but now when I try and save on a template I get the following error showing :

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'val' of undefined at _class.submitSuccess (VM1127 DependencyHandler.axd?s.....

Again with no log file errors

My front end page is still showing gobbledygook and throwing the same error! :(

I really don't get what I'm doing wrong!

Hi Bex

How are you performing the upgrade?

Manually or using Nuget for instance?

Are you going straight from v6.1.6 to v7.5.13

Not sure if it's the same for you, but I recently had similar sorts of errors when upgrading from Umbraco 6.1.3 to 6.2.6. The main issue in my case was that the format changed for ~/config/trees.config. Contour had a few entries in there in the old format. Once I fixed that up, the styles for the rest of the back office looked normal.

Old Format

  <add silent="false" initialize="true" sortOrder="0" alias="forms" application="contour" title="Forms" iconClosed="legacy" iconOpen="legacy" assembly="Umbraco.Forms.UI" type="Trees.LoadForm" action="" />
  <add silent="false" initialize="true" sortOrder="1" alias="formdatasources" application="contour" title="Data Sources" iconClosed="legacy" iconOpen="legacy" assembly="Umbraco.Forms.UI" type="Trees.LoadDataSource" action="" />
  <add silent="false" initialize="true" sortOrder="2" alias="formprevaluesource" application="contour" title="Prevalue Sources" iconClosed="legacy" iconOpen="legacy" assembly="Umbraco.Forms.UI" type="Trees.LoadPreValueSource" action="" />
  <add silent="false" initialize="true" sortOrder="5" alias="formssecurity" application="users" title="Contour security" iconClosed="legacy" iconOpen="legacy" assembly="Umbraco.Forms.UI" type="Trees.LoadFormsSecurity" action="" />

New Format

  <add silent="false" initialize="true" sortOrder="0" alias="forms" application="contour" title="Forms" iconClosed="legacy" iconOpen="legacy" type="Umbraco.Forms.UI.Trees.LoadForm, Umbraco.Forms.UI" action="" />
  <add silent="false" initialize="true" sortOrder="1" alias="formdatasources" application="contour" title="Data Sources" iconClosed="legacy" iconOpen="legacy" type="Umbraco.Forms.UI.Trees.LoadDataSource, Umbraco.Forms.UI" action="" />
  <add silent="false" initialize="true" sortOrder="2" alias="formprevaluesource" application="contour" title="Prevalue Sources" iconClosed="legacy" iconOpen="legacy" type="Umbraco.Forms.UI.Trees.LoadPreValueSource, Umbraco.Forms.UI" action="" />
  <add silent="false" initialize="true" sortOrder="5" alias="formssecurity" application="users" title="Contour security" iconClosed="legacy" iconOpen="legacy" type="Umbraco.Forms.UI.Trees.LoadFormsSecurity, Umbraco.Forms.UI" action="" />

@Neil

I'm doing it direct and manually.

@Nicholas

I totally overwrote most of the config files as most of them didn't have any changes. The styles in the backend seem to be ok now, just the gobbledygook showing and error on the front end! :(

Thanks for any help!

I forgot to mention I am now getting a new error on the front end gobbledygook page.

I am not sure what is going on here as the page is a master page and has no razor on it - or is this a red herring?

I've got the default rendering engine as "Webforms" in the umbracosettings config file.

Just a final update on this.. All the pages that showed as gobbledygook I had to recreate the templates. Seems just about ok now.
