Please read my last post:-
Download this migration tool and follow the instructions on porting your data over from the old database to the new database, as the database between versions has changed a great deal. The old database for v6, will NOT work with v7. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

It won't be a page con not be found, it will be 500 Internal server error. Turn off friendly HTTP errors in IE, to get what the error is and a line number. Also make sure you have compacted and repaired the database in access before and after the migration process. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

This is a permisisons error, make sure that the read only attibute is not set on the database before uploading also you will probally need to contact your web hosts and get them to set the correct permissions on the database to allow you to write to it. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

You need to go to the admin area and use the resync post and topic count feature. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |
