Upgrade woes and date night!

How wonderfully frustrating, in a minor way.

Last night, I upgraded from Community Server 1.1 to 2.0, which offers tons of new features, better performance, a hugely improved administrative interface, a better skinning model — in short, lots of crunchy goodness. Had a few minutes of panic trying to figure out why picture galleries weren’t showing pictures, but eventually got that sorted out and went to bed to sleep the sleep of the righteous.

Unfortunately, when I woke up this morning, what do I find but that there’s another problem? For some reason, CS isn’t properly converting paths like http://blogs.thecabal.org/blogs/devin into http://blogs.thecabal.org/blogs/devin/default.aspx — under the old one, the system knew that …/devin should become …/devin/ and then …/devin/default.aspx and show you the correct page. For some reason, 2.0 isn’t doing that. I’ve got a post in on Telligent’s forums, so we’ll see what happens.

In other news…

Alaric is going to spend the night at a friend’s after school, and Treanna will be visiting one of her friends until 8pm, so Steph and I have a period of time from 4pm to 8pm where we have no kids. Other than seeing a movie — since there’s nothing in the theater we just have to see at the cinema instead of waiting for Netflix — what should we go do? We’re trying to avoid anything that involves heading into downtown Seattle or farther down 405 than, say, Redmond, just to avoid Friday rush hour traffic. We’d like to have time to actually do something fun.

    Hi Devon,

    In your old 1.1 blogs directory there should be a seperate folder for each blog with an empty default.aspx file (ex. there should be a folder named devin). Just copy those folders to your new install location (or just recreate them) and all should be well again.

    We will need to get the upgrade docs updated to include this information.
