TIPS TO UPGRADE DOTNETNUKE MODULES SUCCESSFULLY

• TIPS TO UPGRADE DOTNETNUKE MODULES
• Upgrade DotNetNuke Modules
• When running a website your end users see the
  front end of the website whereas you have to work
  in the back end to add, edit, delete and modify
  the website content.
• Modern CMS (content management systems) allow
  website owners to manage the content of their
  websites without technical knowledge of HTML, and
  this is exactly what DNN CMS(DotNetNuke) does
  too.
• DNNs functionality for a websites content
  management can be extended by adding in third
  party applications. But upgrading the DNN
  modules can be a bit tricky at times and certain
  measures have to be taken to avoid mishaps.

TIPS TO UPGRADE DOTNETNUKE MODULES SUCCESSFULLY

• Use the DNN Installer
• When you upload something to DNN the DNN
  installer will always come in handy. Using DNN
  installer makes the life easier for installer
  because it stores the information about any
  pre-installed modules on it. 
• This helps shorten the process of installation
  because once it recognized the version of the
  module thats already installed, it only installs
  the version thats not already there. 
• This installer contains all the information that
  DNN needs to have in order to incorporate a newly
  installed module and so the end user is saved
  from dozens of steps that would have to be done
  otherwise.

TIPS TO UPGRADE DOTNETNUKE MODULES SUCCESSFULLY

• Search on Web for Errors during Installation
• You will be wrong if you think installation for
  DNN modules will take place without any problems.
  More often than not you will come across a
  problem while installation and the first thing
  that you need to do at that time is make a copy
  of whatever error you have received on the screen
  in most cases it will be in red color.
•  Search this error on Google or any search engine
  and keep some basic information with you while
  asking for a solution to the problem such as the
  exact point where the installer encountered the
  error.

• Always Remember DotNetNuke Backups
• This is your first pointer and something you
  would want to write on a sticky note and put on
  your screen. Whenever you are installing a new
  module or upgrading an already installed one, the
  first thing you must do is get a backup.
• In order for you to take the backups, you will
  have to know where the files of your module are
  being installed. 
• There can be different locations for
  installations of files for different modules.
