Upgrade from 7.7.4 to 7.11.1 looks fine, but actual backoffice version doesn't change.
So I've been trying to get the latest version of Umbraco 7 into a project, and after many hours of troubleshooting I found that some other package was interfering with my upgrade. Now my project has the 7.11.1 UmbracoCms and UmbracoCms.Core.
So far so good, but when i start my project up, my backoffice still says I'm on 7.7.4.
I looked around for something that might be loading the wrong version, and the only thing i found was this line in the Web.config:
<add key="umbracoConfigurationStatus" value="7.7.4" /> and so i tried changing it to <add key="umbracoConfigurationStatus" value="7.11.1" />
For a second I thought I had succeeded, but much to my disappointment this is what I saw instead:
Is there anyone who could point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Have you tried having the umbracoCoonfigurationStatus blank, so putting:
<add key="umbracoConfigurationStatus" value="" />
in your web.config? It should trigger a database upgrade to 7.11.1 from 7.7.4 as you might be confusing the upgrade process by putting it in there manually.
Typically this happens when the dlls files in your bin folder are not actually of the new version, it seems like you might have accidentally reverted them.
Hello and thanks for your reply!
I am not entirely sure how I would go about fixing that, but I did check out the dll's in the bin folder and this is what I could find.
You could try downloading a clean 7.11.1 version from Umbraco, setting it up as a completely new site and then pointing it at the database you're trying to upgrade. That should kick start the upgrade process, but you'll still have the question mark on why your original codebase seems to be stuck in 7.7.4.
How are you including Umbraco in your solution? Via nuget or via a reference?
We get the version of Umbraco from Umbraco.Core.dll and we compare that to the highest migration recorded in the UmbracoMigration table. If these don't match we show the upgrade screen.
So you'll need to check the dll file and I'll bet it is not the correct version. If that shows you the correct version, then I would encourage you to move Umbraco.Core.dll somewhere else, you should get a big fat error. If you don't get an error then you're looking in the wrong directory for the dll files. :-)

Hi Robert,

Hey! Thanks for your reply. I tried setting it to blank, but i got the same result. It showed me it was trying to update from 7.7.4 to 7.7.4

You need to check
Umbraco.Core.dllinstead.So here's how it works:
We get the version of Umbraco from
Umbraco.Core.dlland we compare that to the highest migration recorded in theUmbracoMigrationtable. If these don't match we show the upgrade screen.The upgrade screen shows:
UmbracoMigrationtable OR if we can't get a version from that table, it falls back to the version in the web.config (umbracoConfigurationStatus)Umbraco.Core.dllSo you'll need to check the dll file and I'll bet it is not the correct version. If that shows you the correct version, then I would encourage you to move
Umbraco.Core.dllsomewhere else, you should get a big fat error. If you don't get an error then you're looking in the wrong directory for the dll files. :-)is working on a reply...
