Hi everybody,

Just tried to setup DNN Community 5 (Beta) on my dedicated Windows 2008 Server. I ran the Wizard and was able to finish it successfully. But when I start DNN I get the following error:

 

Server Error in '/' 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.

Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Source Error:

An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

Stack Trace:

[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]

DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalSettings..ctor(Int32 tabID, PortalAliasInfo objPortalAliasInfo) +41

DotNetNuke.HttpModules.UrlRewriteModule.OnBeginRequest(Object s, EventArgs e) +2977

System.Web.SyncEventExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() +68

System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +75

 

Any help is greatly appreciated !!!

Christoph

Check your log files for the upgrade, my log c:\inetpub\wwwroot\providers\dataproviders\sqldataprovider\05.01.00.log shows the following information:

 

 System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_DNN_DesktopModules_DNN_Packages". The conflict occurred in database "Website", table "dbo.DNN_Packages", column 'PackageID'.
   at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection)

   at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.InternalExecuteNonQuery(DbAsyncResult result, String methodName, Boolean sendToPipe)
   at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
   at DotNetNuke.Data.SqlDataProvider.ExecuteADOScript(String SQL)
   at DotNetNuke.Data.SqlDataProvider.ExecuteScript(String Script, Boolean UseTransactions)

 

/* Add Foreign Key to PAckages/DesktopModules */
/**********************************************/

ALTER TABLE dbo.DNN_DesktopModules
 ADD CONSTRAINT FK_DNN_DesktopModules_DNN_Packages FOREIGN KEY ( PackageID ) REFERENCES dbo.DNN_Packages ( PackageID ) ON UPDATE  CASCADE  ON DELETE  CASCADE

I am getting the same errors, and do not have any content on my pages now.  The containers are there, but it can refernce the correct object to log in. 

Hosting system:
Windows Server 2008 R2
SQL Server 2008 Enterprise

Thanks,
Dino

The error you are getting is the same one that I get when i delete the database to resetup the site.  You need to take a look at the connection stringsunder your server settings.  The SQL refernce for the connection  is not pointing to a database that exists.  If you change the settings it will take care of the error.

If you need i can send you screen shots of what mine looks like.
