 Hi guys,

I already made dnn 4.8.2 installation and builded my portal on my computer. The problem comes when I published it and copied it to the server in office. When I try to browse/start it with iis I receive the following error:

Server Error in '/new' Application.

Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: type

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.

Did you follow all the steps of transfering the installation?  You can't "build" a DNN app to deploy it.

  Yes, I think I followed all steps. The site is starting perfectly on my computer without problems. I published the dnn site, after that copied it to the server in office. I restored the database file to the server and changed the connection string in web.config to point to this database. I don't have any idea how to fix this error.

Have you checked permissions?  Did you install a new copy of DNN on the server?
