which is kind of like "syntax error".

installing 5.0.1

the URL is:

dotnetnuke/Default.aspx?tabid=38&error=Object+reference+not+set+to+an+instance+of+an+object.&content=0

I had to fix a web.config problem, but then this showed up.

I did an installation on my domain provided by MochaHost.com using the installer there.

the installation said it completed normally.

first attempt to access the site resulted in a web.config problem:

  <system.webServer>
    <modules>
      <!-- <add name="ScriptModule" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" preCondition="managedHandler" />-->
 

I commented out this line since there is another entry of the same name in the config file.

Do modify web.config only if needed.

Make sure, the changes produce valid XML.

Unfortunately the error does not specify the cause, this can be web.config, IIS web site configuration or an app problem.

it complained about the web.config, there were two similar lines, i commented out the one that the Nuke pointed out.

As to the real problem, i was hoping that the URL i provided might be helpful.

It's got an ID and the nature of the problem. I was hoping it would jog someone's memory.

 "Object+reference+not+set+to+an+instance+of+an+object" is a generic error message, very unspecific, and the tabid just stated the page being called.

so, the 'TabId' is not refering to a 'tabbable' control. ie, you hit 'tab' and you move to the next control each such control has a TabID to give a sequential list of controls to pass through?

i'm looking for a place to start looking. I can't be the only one this has ever happened to?

then again, lately, it has almost been the case where I will turn on the bedroom light and the kitchen sink faucet will turn on...
