When you upgraded, was the Migrating of Users Process successfully in the Install Wizzard?

It said it was. I didnt get any errors. I have tried about 4 times, restoring the original database.

Did you changed config back to the recommended one after the upgrade?

yes the one that i posted is the one I used.

I am using the compiled bin. so for my testing I have a copy of my database/ and folders.

I copy the new files over the original folders update the db.config to point to the database backup.
i then run the /install/default.aspx

am I missing something in the upgrade?

I thought i had to copy the new files form the compiled zip over my original files ( i am using a copy of the original for testing)
