Nothing but issues. I attempted the upgrade to 4.2 on the old server and this failed, then the rollback failed so I had remnants of 4.2 in my DB and nothing worked. I ended up re-installing sitebuilder 4.1, restoring the sites and restoring the DB to get it working again on the old server.
I then un-installed 4.2 from the new server and installed 4.1 clean. I tried the Sitebuilder backup but that didn't restore all of my sites on the new server, only my site and all the trial sites, and yes I used the Administrator account. I also got the same file size when I did the command line backup. Since that failed I tried the same restore process that I had done on the Windows 2003 server but that didn't work. All of the special pages (blog, forum, photogal, eshop etc...) stopped working. Each special page type gives me a different message.
Blog: MessageSignatureInvalid
Photo: The site is unavailable. Please contact your administrator
Eshop: Cannot load Editor for the current site node
I can't get anything to work properly on the Windows 2008 machine. My old machine is a 2.26ghz celeron with 512mb of ram running windows 2003x86 standard. The new machine is a dual core 1.86ghz Xeon with 4gb of ram running windows 2008x64 standard. The new machine is more than powerful enough to run sitebuilder.
I only have 15 published sites, this migration shouldn't be that hard. I tried to call tech support but unless I pay them $150 an hour for support they won't provide any support at all. I'm half tempted to install sitebuilder 4.2 on the new server and manually re-create every page for every website, but even that's not guaranteed to work and could I even transfer my license to the new install, support wouldn't even answer that question.
Can anyone help? Please!!!
