    Downloading the latest version

    Hi,

    I'm trying to download the updated version of Umbraco from the our.umbraco website but it keeps getting blocked due to potential malware in the file.

    Is there any other locations i can download the 7.6.3 build from?

    Thanks,

    Phil

    Hi Phil,

    You could try using Nuget to install instead. Details are here,

    Hi Emma,

    Thanks. I've managed to get the files and have merged my configs and copied the files over. Now i cant log in :(

    The password hasnt changed but the password reset link redirects to the "/umbraco/AuthorizeUpgrade" url, which i need to log in to do the install!!

    Thanks,

    Phil

    Hi Phil,

    I have been in that position myself! Your best bet is to take a look at this thread. You can reset the password in the database.

    Hi,

    Yeah i read through that topic. None of the options worked. I've updated the password manually, tried 'default', tried a clear password - nice application error with that one.

    I can see that the login is failing in the logs, so it is checking the database surely?

    Why is umbraco still in use by peoeple? it SUCKS. the documentation is out of date, the support topics are useless. A simple task like updating a website and its taken 4 hours to get to a point where it still sucks and the suggestions by people do NOTHING.

    Is umbraco Danish for 'Piece of S**T'? it should be.

    Sorry Emma, not aimed at you. I appreciate you have tried to help.

    If you think a free, open-source product sucks and is a POS and aren't happy with the free support provided by people in the community then you are free to use another product. Such is choice, eh? I appreciate upgrading can be frustrating, but being rude about something people spend a lot of hard work on isn't going to help anyone.

    've upgraded sites from 7.5 to 7.6 without issue - it's just a case of reading the documentation carefully. https://our.umbraco.org/contribute/releases/763/

    If you do as it says in bold red and leave useLegacyEncoding=true set in membership providers then it won't change your password hashing format.

    Hi Phil,

    It seems 7.6 has some breaking changes when it come to passowrds so it's worth going up to 7.5 for an upgrade. Shannon's article here explains why.

    https://shazwazza.com/post/umbraco-passwords-and-aspnet-machine-keys/

    With regards to the question as to why it's still in use? Probably because there is a community of people who are happy to answer people's questions - one I've drawn on pretty often myself and it seems you have too. People on here are generally really positive and happy to help.

    Anyways, worth logging a bug with the issue tracker if there's something you think needs to be looked at by the core team.

    Thanks Emma, that article helped.

    When i merged my files, useLegacyEncoding was set to false. Setting this to true and i can feel i have stopped ageing rapidly.
