Trying to upgradem a 2.1 site. Now I have error on the site: 

Could not load configuration section Composite.Core.IO.Plugins.IOProviderConfiguration

Could it be something with /App_Data/Composite/composite.config? or where should I look

In my opinion Tortoisemerge is not an easy tool allthough I have used it before. Ever considered a video demo ;-)

@jna instead of 3 way merge, you can just use Tourtoise SVN to compare versions before ( composite6706.xml ), and after ( composite9387.xml ). The tool will show the differences, and you can  manually add those changes to your configuration file, that would be the easiest way to do it.

I don't really get it. If I check my existing  /App_Data/Composite/composite.config it is very different from composite6706.xml.

Web.config and Composite.config should not be alike??

You say that we should use the same two xml-files for web.config merge and composite.config merge. Is that really true?

The reason why I get a Could not load configuration section Composite.Core.IO.Plugins.IOProviderConfiguration is because it doesn't exixsts in web6706.xml or web9387.xml which probably isn't the files we should use then.

I'm stock..

Hi @rvesyliv

If you check changesets http://compositec1.codeplex.com/SourceControl/list/changesets, you'll see that RC3 is change set 9864,

RC1 is 9777, that means that changesets in between (9801, 9817 and 9823) are the changes you have to apply.

I'm copy pasting the changes from those templates which aren't related to Composite.dll & Composite.Website.dll:

9801:

9817

 9823

Based on those changes, here're the upgrade steps:

1) Replace  Composite.dll & Composite.Workflows.dll with versions from RC2

2) Delete the files that are marked as "delete" in changesets

2) Replace the files that are marked as "edit" in changesets

Hi @napernik,

I have just attempted to perform the upgrade from C1 v2.1.1 to v3 according to your steps posted above.  We have a very basic installation of C1 at the moment.  I have followed your steps above, but am getting a problem after completion.

I get the following error when I start the Application Pool up again and attempt to access Composite C1:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Any idea what i could have done wrong?

How do i know if i have any IPageHostname datatypes?

I only have a Composite.Data.Types.IPageHostNameBindings_public.xml in that folder. And if I remove this file, i get an error.

Is the problem in me config files some where?

Can someone post a complete Web.config anf Composite.config for 3.0?

:) you shouldn't delete the file, but open it in notepad and make sure it doesn't contain any nodes like this

<HostnameBindings />

I still can't get this to work, i still get an error in Global.asax.

I've tried to tried completing the whole process again. And i get the same result.
I even tried copying the 2 config files from a 3.0 solution. but that didn't change a thing.

I don't have a file named IPageHostname.xml in my DataStores folder. I have a IPageHostNameBindings.xml, changing this file to only contain the root node didn't fix it.

Got any other ideas?

Hi boedlen

Could you please provide more detailed info?

1. What version / build number have you upgraded to version 3.0 from?
2. Was the website SQL- or XML-based?
3. Was it based (originally) on some specific Starter Site (for example, Master Pages based)?
4. What is your environment like? The OS's version, the web server's version, the SQL server's version (if used)?
5. Anything specific about the website that might make difference (for example,  custom integration with some product, etc)?
6. Any specific hostname settings?

Thank you
