Error Upgrading Community from 7 to 7.5

Vote:

I had a working EPiServer 7.1 site. After running the CMS upgrade process, I am now getting the following error via the site:

Configuration ErrorDescription: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Unrecognized element 'sites'.

Source Error:

Line 1007:  </hibernate-configuration>
Line 1008:  <episerver.common>
Line 1009:    <sites>
Line 1010:      <site siteId="*">
Line 1011:        <cache defaultProvider="EPiServerCacheExpirationProvider">

From this, I made a guess that the issue was that I hadn't upgraded Community yet. However, I'm unable to upgrade community. The installer is throwing errors on upgrade. At first I got the following error:

After some googling, there was a comment that suggested the lack of an xmls might be the cause, so I updated my <episerver.common> node to the following:

<episerver.common xmlns="http://EPiServer.Configuration.EPiServerSection">

But after this, the installer triggers:

Can anyone provide some insight?

Hi,

I don't know if you've solved this issue already, but if anyone else runs into the same issue;

Remove the elements and from the episerver.common section, leaving in all child elements of still there so you will have a configuration such as:


    ...
    ...
    etc...
