Hi,

Notes: compiled DNN library for debug release, VSPro 2005 IIS 5.1

- installed starterkit

- created my website from the starterkit

- installed DNN source, re-compiled -- compiled no errors under debug release

- copied the DLL's to my website\bin directory

- compilied my "dev website", copied compiled site to my web IIS server

- app runs fine upgraded no problem, can login, move around etc...

IF I CLICK REGISTER: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: format

this is displayed right above the "welcome to dotnetnuke" module (all other modules display no problem)

if i access a menu item like log viewer, or users, etc:

An error has occurred.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.PageLoadException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: format ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: format at System.String.Format(IFormatProvider provider, String format, Object[] args) at DotNetNuke.UI.WebControls.PagingControl.CreateChildControls() at System.Web.UI.Control.EnsureChildControls() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

I noticed that my module "editing menu" text is empty ( as if the resources are not found) ( i changed the app_globalresources in the DNN source to DNN_Globalresources, and copied the directory to my website DNN installation)

I know it is somehting stupid (hopefully), and insight appreciated.

I think the problem is being caused by the time zone combo box not being populated.  the localization functionality isn't working properly for some reason.  I looked at the Site admin page and noticed that the time zone picker combo box was empty, when there should be a list of timezones.  I think that is was is causing the null value error.  So the real question is why is the time zone combo box empty.  I found a TimeZone.xml file in the App_GlobalResources folder.  If you put that folder on the production box you get an error saying that a precompiled site can not have the App_GlobalResources folder.  I'm not sure where that data gets comipled to.  I'll keep you posted on my progress.  I was able to get a new install working from the DotNetNuke_4.3.3_Install.zip and just dumping it into the production virtual directory's folder and recreating the database.  I don't get the same error and the Time zone combo box is populated.

Dave,

I have the same problem as all the others in this thread but I hit your problem earlier. You need to go to 'New Website' and then change the Language to 'Visual Basic'. The DotNetNuke Template should now appear.
