ok. i had this error to begin with:

Server Error in '/dnn' Application.

Parser Error

Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'DotNetNuke.Common.Global'.

Source Error:

Line 1:  <%@ Application Inherits="DotNetNuke.Common.Global" Language="VB" %>

Source File: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\global.asax    Line: 1


Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:1.1.4322.573; ASP.NET Version:1.1.4322.573       

so i changed the framework version from 1.1 to 2.0 in iis and now i get this error:

Server Error in '/dnn' 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.

Source Error:

The source code that generated this unhandled exception can only be shown when compiled in debug mode.

 To enable this, please follow one of the below steps, then request the URL:

1. Add a "Debug=true" directive at the top of the file that generated the error. Example:

  <%@ Page Language="C#" Debug="true" %>

or:

2) Add the following section to the configuration file of your application:

<configuration>
   <system.web>
       <compilation debug="true"/>
   </system.web>
</configuration>

Note that this second technique will cause all files within a given application to be compiled in debug mode.

The first technique will cause only that particular file to be compiled in debug mode.

Important: Running applications in debug mode does incur a memory/performance overhead.

You should make sure that an application has debugging disabled before deploying into production scenario.

If you installed 3.x, you need to be using .NET 1.1. If you installed 4.x, use .NET 2.0. Beyond that, your problem is that you haven't compiled the app, so the assembly which contains the file in question is not there. If using 3.x, open the Solutions/DotNetNuke.All/DotNetNuke.All.sln file and build it. In 4.x, use the DotNetNuke.sln file.
