Kentico Upgrade v9 to v10

Yowaraj Chhetri asked on August 21, 2019 08:23

Hi I am trying to upgrade kentico v9 to v10. I followed the kentico upgrade documentation. At the end of the upgrade I got following info, which is fine as there were few customisation to kentico files. I did resolve this.

Since this was kentico v9 upgrade to v10, CMSApp_AppCode project contains few custom files which I manually moved to CMSApp porject and removed CMSApp_AppCode project. I tried to rebuild the solution and got these two error.

Also this error \CMS\bin\CMSApp.dll could not be found.

Can someone help me with this please. This is my first time trying to upgrade a v9 project. This project needs to be upgraded from v9 to v12 and I am following sequential upgrade.

Thanks in advance

Hi Yowaraj,

Try the following:

Did you leave Visual Studio open while performed the upgrade? If so it may have been locked some of the files.
Clean the solution and try to rebuild again. Ideally, clean should remove Obj directory.
Check the project referencies if there are any missing/wrong referencies.
Reboot the computer (helped me in a few strange cases with files being locked or missing)

Hi Dmitry, Yes I kept the VS opened while performing upgrades. It was due to some dependencies file missing and wrong references. The build is successful now. Thanks

However, now I am into another problem. I am trying to login to admin interface using default "Administrator" username but couldn't do it.It says "Your sign-in attempt was not successful. Please try again.". Administrator is the username I used to log in.

Thanks
