Upgrade problem - System.FormatException

Vote:
 

Hi,

I'm in the process of upgrading a CMS 5R2 SP1 site and  have succeeded in upgrading to CMS 6 without any problems. However, when I try to upgrade to CMS 6 R2 I get an "Unhandled exception Input string was not in a correct format". When trying to continue nothing happens and all I can do is cancel. Below is the stacktrace and logfile. The logfile look more or less the same as when I do a normal cancel of an upgrade so I don't think that info is of any value. Is there any other way you can get more info on where things go wrong?

Best regards /Håkan

I think the problem is that you have portnumber specified in your connectionstring: IP\NAMEDINSTANCE,<portno>

Remove ",<portno>" and EPiServer should get it. Seems like EPiServer hasn't read the connection string documentation properly.

Thanx for the answer. Wasn't the portnumber though but I found the answer. Had the datasource on the format IP,PORT\NAMEDINSTANCE. This doesn't work since the upgrade code splits the datasource at the comma and the try to parse the second part as an int :( Changed the order in the datasource and now it works.
