Hi all.

I have a fresh install of DNN 5.6.1 and I'm getting the following error on a few of my admin and host pages:

A critical error has occurred.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

This happens on admin --> site settings to name just one page.

Below is the entry from the event viewer.  Any idea what's causing the issue?

Thanks,
Mark

What happens if you remove the '@' from your portalname?

Other then that, I don't see any particular reason why it should generate this error; especially not on a fresh install.
