Upgrading to BlogEngine.Net 1.6

Category: .NetRory Primrose @ 09:13

Like Dave, I was keen to upgrade my site to the latest BlogEngine.Net release (download here). I did find a few issues with the upgrade though as I was also migrating from ASP.Net user/roles management to the BlogEngine.Net implementation. To help with this process, I wrote a SQL script that did the following:

  1. Enabled error logging (useful for troubleshooting)
  2. Removed the Commentor extension configuration (new comment support is in this release)
  3. Upgraded post contents to migrate from SyntaxHighlighter 1.5 to 2.1
  4. Migrated my permissions for the site from ASP.Net to BlogEngine.Net user/roles (Note: This resets the admin password to blank which will default it to "admin")
  5. Removed all the ASP.Net user/roles objects from the database.

Script is attached.
