Hi,

I installed DotNetNuke 4.3.1

My machine is Windows XP.

I installed on SQL Server 2000.

After I have done all necessary operations(creating user, folder permissions, etc.), I opened htpp//localhost/DotNetNuke_2

and at the and of the setup I got following error:

00:00:05.796 - Installing Desktop Modules:
00:00:05.796 - Installing Modules:
00:00:05.796 - Executing Additional Scripts:
00:00:05.796 -   Creating Portal: My Website
00:00:06.203 -   Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
00:00:06.203 -   Portal failed to install:
00:00:06.203 - Installing Optional Resources:

Any help will be appreciated kindly.

Thanks

Anyone have any suggestions?

After my install did this:

00:00:05.796 - Installing Desktop Modules:
00:00:05.796 - Installing Modules:
00:00:05.796 - Executing Additional Scripts:
00:00:05.796 -   Creating Portal: My Website
00:00:06.203 -   Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
00:00:06.203 -   Portal failed to install:
00:00:06.203 - Installing Optional Resources:

I clicked on the link at the bottom of the page to go to DotNetNuke and I get this related error:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.] DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalSettings.GetPortalSettings(Int32 TabId, PortalAliasInfo objPortalAliasInfo) +125 DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalSettings..ctor(Int32 tabId, PortalAliasInfo objPortalAliasInfo) +83 DotNetNuke.HttpModules.UrlRewriteModule.OnBeginRequest(Object s, EventArgs e) +3908 System.Web.SyncEventExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() +92 System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +64

Judging from your folder/site name /DotNetNuke_2 I'd guess you're using the starter kit or installing through VWDE or VStudio.  Did you verify the site's folder grants teh ASPNET account on your machine full access to the folder and file (including subfolders)?  This looks a little different error, so you might also verify that the SQL DB account is dbo on the database as well.
