I've gotten DNN 4.5.3 installed on a 2003 server with IIS6 and SQL Server 2005--and a Japanese language pack installed. When I'm physically on the server, the site seems to run correctly without any errors. I can log in and make changes, switch back and forth between languages, etc. with no problems. But when I try to access the site from any other machine, I get this:

Server Error in '/DotNetNuke' 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.

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.42; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.210

 

 

Any ideas what would be different accessing the site off the server versus locally? I've used the same account to log into both the server and the 4 different test machines I've tried. Ideas?

Ensure that you have a proper portal alias configured for the other locations.

WHen you installed it most likely has a portal alias of http://localhost/dnn or something like that, you will need to add one for http://serveraddress/dnn or something other that you are using to access the site from the external location.
