I've had my site up for around 30 days our so and I am getting random forum errors.  They are in the logs.  There are two errors that seem to occur randomly.  I am using DNN 4.3.5 on SQL Server 2000 on 1and1 as my host.  I've XXXXXX out some sensitive info in the stack trace below.  It is random but when these errors occur, the page doesn't render and I get the dreaded "critical error" message on the page.  Any help would be appreciated.

The errors are:

Are you using Forum version 3.20.08?

Do you have a container set for the module (meaning not unchecking show container)?

If the answer is yes, I am pretty sure this is a bug that was fixed in the source but at this point I don't remember what the fix was.

Yes.  I am using 3.20.08 and yes I have a container set for the module.  Should I uncheck the show container for now until you can remember what the fix was or point to me a version that has the fix?

 

Thanx

Frank

More info..I've unchecked the display container and set the container to not specified.  I am now getting MORE errors than before.  I still am getting the errors noted in my first post but now have these.  Hopefully this info will help you diagnose this.  I'm sure I've got something screwed up as I would think I would see a ton more posts if everyone was having trouble.  I just don't know where to look or what to change...

First error:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Modules.Forum.ForumBaseControl.get_BreadCrumbs()

Second Error:

DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Unhandled Error Adding Module to ContentPane ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Modules.Forum.Container.Page_Init(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.OnInit(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.UserControl.OnInit(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.InitRecursive(Control namingContainer) at System.Web.UI.Control.InitRecursive(Control namingContainer) at System.Web.UI.Control.InitRecursive(Control namingContainer) at System.Web.UI.Control.InitRecursive(Control namingContainer) at System.Web.UI.Control.AddedControl(Control control, Int32 index) at System.Web.UI.ControlCollection.Add(Control child) at DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Skin.InjectModule(Control objPane, ModuleInfo objModule, PortalSettings PortalSettings) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

and as noted I am still getting the errors I noted in my first post.

Guys,

I'm still getting these errors and my users are starting to leave.  Any ideas on how to get this fixed or why it is occurring?  It occurs in different parts of the rendering process, from a control on a page to the entire forums page.  Always object reference not set to an instance of an object (I really hate that freakin error from .Net.  It's about as useful as "unknown error".

Anyone at all?  I need help..

Thanx in advance,

Frankt
