I am not sure where I have been, or whether or not I have not been paying attention, but I have missed something.

I just got done updating my DotNetNuke website to 5.04, from 5.02, and I was having a bear of a time.  I was using the same old update steps I used for version 4.

Most of the update directions are just fine for version 4, except for one.

The Web.Config file!

In any version above 4.6.2 (that is what I have been told) does not require you to update the web.config file.  Yuppers, you heard me right.  DNN now updates the web.config file for you.

You don’t even have to redo the connection strings.  How do you like that?

This isn’t a long post, but I thought I would pass on the information.  I know many of you are already wondering why I hadn’t figured this out before, and I am not sure either.  Oh well, at least I have the information now.

Happy DNN updating!
