Upgrade to 4.0

[HarkinsIT]

I saw this morning that 4.0 final was released but when I read through the documentation, I did not see anything about upgrading. I'm currently running 3.5.2.4 and I'm just wondering if there's anything special I need to know before I run the installer.

Thanks!

Could you upload your changed web.config file please (and the original web.config from the backup please)

OK, I ran the installer and when it finished, I got an error that said, "Error:Error:Upgrading Lansweeper website configuration file failed!"

When I attempt to access the LANSweeper console from http://myservername:8080/lansweeper32 I get this:

Configuration Error

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

Not sure what went wrong but I could use some help here.

Thanks!

Take a full backup first.
The installer will detect the installed version and offer to upgrade.

What is the best way to take a full backup?

With the sql management console right click on the database/backup.
For the website you can just take a file backup of the complete folder.
