Upgrading Community Server 2007 to CS2008

When updating Community Server to the 2008 version several issues may arise. Using the accompanied Updater that Telligent has supplied helps a lot, but there are still idiosyncrasies to be aware of:

• Is your email not work? Giving an error: "Iterator Failed. Type CommunityServer.MailRoom.Components.EmailJob. Method SendQueuedEmailJob Reason Object reference not set to an instance of an object.. etc.". The Solution: Try and delete all waiting emails in the queue. Do a "DELETE FROM mg_EmailQueue" on the database. It seems that some "old" awaiting emails from the 2007 version was causing CS2008 email client to fail.
• The default blog theme may have reverted to CS's standard theme. Goto /controlpanel/BlogAdmin/Options/SkinOptions.aspx and change the default theme to your likings.
• Check that all custom controls are working with the new update. Some of the places that could reference a control are: the App_Browsers folder, Web.Config HttpHandlers and controls section, and CommunityServer.Config Tasks section.

Good luck upgrading :)
