I'm having problems getting DNN to run in my hosting environment.

I have done the install and the default "My website" portal failed to create.  I am now left with the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

I think this may have occurred due to ASPNET user permissions not being set, but now I cannot seem to rerun the install.  Is there a database flag that needs resetting?  I have tried removing the dnn.config file but this has not helped.

I solved this by deleting the entire database and starting again.  Not the cleanest way I'm sure, but it works now.

I have followed the installation readme.txt file instructions under the Documentation folder.

Next I browsed the default.aspx and the installation process began.

Installing DoNetNuke

Version 03.03.01

Insallation Status Report.

Status of installation ......

Installation Complete

Click Here to Acess Your Portal

........

Now, when I click the text to access my Portal, the following page appears.



 

Server Error in '/DotNetNuke' Application.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:1.1.4322.2300; ASP.NET Version:1.1.4322.2300


Therefore, I searched and located a post that had the same problem.

One post said to make some changes to lines 80-92 in the Settings.aspx file.
I could not locate a Settings.aspx file that was greater than 40 lines or so.

So, I have tried deleting the database and starting over, this did not work.
I have tried different versions of DotNetNuke, this did not work.
I have erased everything and starrted over, this did not work.

I don't know what do do next.

Does anybody have any suggestions???

Thanks!

Im getting the same error with Verison 4.02 with net2. I started over and instead of using the starter kit, i just followed the directions for using the the Install.zip.
