I've inherited a DNN site running 2.1.2 and the person who created it has left the company. I've set-up another installation, upgraded it, created a portal there and now maintain it. I've also developed a small .NET application separately, so I've got some good experience, but I definitely have gaps. The 2.1.2 portal has several custom modules that need fixing, enhancing and ultimately upgrading if I want to upgrade my DNN. My first task at hand is to create my development environment but I'm assuming that it's going to be different since I need to bring in the existing site and continue from where the last person left off. I may have reached a point where I'm frozen with fear since I've broken many things along the way, and I know that's the way to learn, but I could really use some advice.

Hello, Oh yes the dreaded move from 2.1.2 to 3.x! The first thing you need to know is that if you want to upgrade DNN, you need to upgrade to DNN3.x rather than 4.x as 4.x will be too big a jump at this stage. (DNN4.x runs in ASP.NET2.0 and 3.x runs in ASP.NET1.1) - They are both the same currently apart from that. (although 3.x is currently more stable) DNN3.x brought in some breaking changes, so the problem you have is that you will need to create a separate DNN3.x installation on a localhost installation and test each of your 2.1.2 modules in a DNN3.x installation. Unfortunately I can't remember what the breaking changes were, I had notes on it at the time, but after some looking around in my files I can't find them. - I would look around the asp.net DNN forums for that info as there was quite a bit of discussion on it at the time. To be honest, I have several DNN2.x sites that are stuck in 2.x because I spent a year developing modules for the sites and I didn't have the time spare to do the required changes to DNN3.x so I don't have any experience converting across. All of the main Modules Developers will have experience in this as they had to create new modules for DNN3.x so they should be able to provide the main breaking changes that you need to look out for. This is the main DNN asp.net forum: http://forums.asp.net/90/ShowForum.aspx Hope this gives you a starting point, thanks,
