Do you also have a virtual path for app themes and utils, looking something like this?

<add name="App_Themes_Default" virtualPath="~/App_Themes/Default/" physicalPath="C:\Program Files (x86)\EPiServer\CMS\6.0.530.0\application\app_themes\default" type="EPiServer.Web.Hosting.VirtualPathNonUnifiedProvider,EPiServer" />

<add name="UtilFiles" virtualPath="~/Util/" physicalPath="C:\Program Files (x86)\EPiServer\CMS\6.0.530.0\application\util" type="EPiServer.Web.Hosting.VirtualPathNonUnifiedProvider,EPiServer" />

No i did not have these paths.

 

Added them now with no difference.

 

Could the reason I am seeing the CMS login screen be linked to some files from the CMS 5 still present in the GAC. Could I remove all the episerver files från versions < 6 in the GAC? Or could they still be in use in CMS 6?

Make sure that the paths in Magnus' code are corrected (they're different on 32 and 64 bit machines). After that check in episerver.config for the uiUrl.

Frederik is right, if your other paths are correct your util and appthemes should also point to Program Files (without "(x86)").

The reason you see a CMS5 login could be just that your browser has the stylesheet cached. In web.config you should have assembly redirects for all the EPiServer assemblies so they can't pick the "wrong" version even if it existsin GAC. If it loaded the wrong version you would also get an exception because the assemblies don't match the database version.

Okey that helped! The missing icons in the edit-mode are now visible. Thank you alot! But some error still graphic errors, the icons (create new page,delete,cut,copy,paste,accesrights,edit dynamics properties) are squeezed together, some kind of css error?

And

The tab "CMS" that should be next to the "Start" tab on the OnlineCenter, its not visible anymore. Could I change this link somewhere? I persume that the tabs are generated based on some folder structure.

 

And finally I actually get the exception that you were refering to:

Parser Error Message: The type 'EPiServer.WorkflowFoundation.UI.WorkflowEditPanelControl' is ambiguous: it could come from assembly 'C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL\EPiServer.UI\6.0.530.0__8fe83dea738b45b7\EPiServer.UI.dll' or from assembly 'C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL\EPiServer.WorkflowFoundation.UI\5.1.422.267__8fe83dea738b45b7\EPiServer.WorkflowFoundation.UI.dll'. Please specify the assembly explicitly in the type name.

Any idea how I can fix that?

 

Try to rebuild the solution with the new CMS 6 dlls if you haven't already. If your project has a reference to EPiServer.WorkflowFoundation.UI.dll, remove it and see if it builds anyway (if you have a reference to the EPiServer.UI.dll). Also, see if there is any reference to the WorkflowFoundation.UI assembly in your web.config (like in the compilation or controls sections) and try to comment that out.

The CMS tab is not reflecting a folder structure but is rather generated in code based on attributes. How do your <location> tags look for the UI locations? Are they mismatching the new structure? It could be a permissions problem there.

Also, clear your browser cache. You could have old cms5 scripts and stylesheets cached.

 

• All the design errors have been solved.

• Removing the "EPiServer.WorkflowFoundation.UI.dll" fixed the problem, but everytime I build the solution the EPiServer.WorkflowFoundation.UI.dll is back. :) 

• I've tried to look at my <location> tags, but can't see what I'm suppose to change. I have <location path="ui/CMS/admin"> and <location path="ui/CMS/edit">

But when I have

<add name="EPiServerCMS" virtualPath="~/ui/CMS" physicalPath="C:\Program Files\EPiServer\CMS\6.0.530.0\application\UI\CMS" type="EPiServer.Web.Hosting.VirtualPathNonUnifiedProvider,EPiServer" />

,and use direct links, edit and admin works , but the CMS tab is not there anymore
