I have been having one heck of a time trying to get Ublogsy 2.1.1 installed on our Umbraco 4.9 site.
At first the issue was the install would time out, so I changed to timeout setting in the web config.
The next issue was the site would say it was successfully installed but it would be missing all of the cshtml files. So I manually moved the files over into there respected folders but then was showing an XSLT error when trying to view the blog pages.
After manually deleting the data types and unistalling Ublogsy I troubleshot the XSLT error and was then able to create and see XSLT on pages again.
Now whenever I try to reinstall Ublogsy it just hangs forever and ends up creating duplicates of dupilicates of duplicates of the content nodes. And whenever I try to delete the ublogsy data types I just get the spinny wheel saying its being deleted and never actually gets deleted.
Getting a blog installed and running on the site is the last thing I have to do before we can push the site live and this is very frustrating.
Is there any way to manually unistall Ublogsy or has anyone had the problem of not being able to delete the datatypes in order to unistall the package?
Firstly, you did the right thing in increasing the request time. When installing large Umbraco packages, timeouts can occur. This is more common when your db is not on the same machine or network as your website.
When manually deleting packages, you need to ensure deletion the templates, macroscripts, macros, doctypes, and content nodes (if any)? Also the dlls.
You can then go into the installedpackages.config file and remove the xml for the package in question.
I'm not sure why you could have XSLT issues. uBlogsy is a Razor implementation and has nothing to do with XSLT.
Umbraco 4.9 had a couple bugs. I would upgrade to 4.9.1 or ideally 4.10.1 or 4.11.1.
Also, what other packages have you installed?
When ever you just get a spinny wheel in umbraco, check the console of your browser for js errors. Also check the UmbracoLog db table.
Check out my codegarden presentation. It may help clear up some things:
I have gone through the process of deleting all document types before unistalling ublogsy before without problems but this is were I am running into issues as when I try to delete one of the document types the text just changes to (deleting...) and then doesnt do anything at all.
And under the installed package directory its showing 4 installs of ublogsy. when the install was only ran 1 time. See picture to also see what other packages we have installed. http://i.imgur.com/Ho2vp.png
I am afraid to upgrade the site in fear that it will break something else.
regarding the tabs... go to /config/dashboard.config and remove the xml for those tabs.
regarding the package listing (it's only a listing).... go to /app_data/packages/installed/installedPackages.config and remove the xml for those packages.
Okay, So after deleting all files from the ublogsy install in the file system and editing those two configs ublogsy should be gone correct? or is there anything still residing in the database that will need deleted as well?
If the latter, now is the task to get the install to actually work and successfully install the blog. Have you had success with installing this package in 4.9?
The biggest issue right now is I can't delete the document types from the admin panel. Also I don't have access to the file system until I get home tonight.
Another thing I saw is when I try to delete the cshtml files from the admin panel it says its deletes but when I reload the noads they are still there..
I created a new Umbraco 4.11 instance and installed ublogsy without erros. I am just rebuilding the site from this base.
Now onto the headache of migrating alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll of the content on the site :\
I would have done this a long time ago if there was no content on the site but unfortunately the client has been in the site adding pages upon pages of content while it was being developed :X

Hi Anthony,
I have gone through the process of deleting all document types before unistalling ublogsy before without problems but this is were I am running into issues as when I try to delete one of the document types the text just changes to (deleting...) and then doesnt do anything at all.
Here is what the root of the website looks like....

And under the installed package directory its showing 4 installs of ublogsy. when the install was only ran 1 time. See picture to also see what other packages we have installed. http://i.imgur.com/Ho2vp.png

regarding the tabs... go to /config/dashboard.config and remove the xml for those tabs.

If the latter, now is the task to get the install to actually work and successfully install the blog. Have you had success with installing this package in 4.9?
The installedPackages.config is only a list of packages. If you deleted all the doctypes etc then only the list was incorrect.
I assumed you've deleted the files from the usercontrols folder. If so, then dashboard.config again was only a list.
There is nothing special to do to install in umbraco 4.9.
The biggest issue right now is I can't delete the document types from the admin panel. Also I don't have access to the file system until I get home tonight.
