We really, really need a way to trigger the upgrade on an existing site. Often a dev project takes weeks, even months. During that time we need to refresh the local dev database from a live copy.

I can't make this 9.0.4 install fire the install page. I copied database_default.config and encryption_default.config but that didn't work. Did I miss a file??

After replacing the files, try restarting the website.

Joe, we had a site go live that was in development for months and it took 2 of us a whole day each to re-do all the entries for the design changes that were made- outer & inner templates, parameters, etc. She tried doing it with sql queries for the new cms tables- copying from the dev to the staging and it didn't work. I think next time we are just going to re-import orders and products and users. So be aware you might run into a problem. We did it a few days before launch and I'm glad we didn't wait until launch. I think on this next site we're going to remove some of the CMS stuff from code and set the pages up as you would normal MVC pages- calling partial views, etc, instead of zones and that stuff.

Ugh. That wasn't what I wanted to hear Judy.

The entire CMS design makes upgrading a site a complete nightmare.

@Mazhar, I did bounce IIS but it didn't help. Maybe I didn't do at the right time. Am I correct though, those are the only two files I need to 'reset' to trigger the install page again?

The file names should be the database.config and encryption.config.

Just wanted to make sure!

Ok thanks. I'll try it again soon and I will try to remember to bounce the app pool before I light up the site again.
