I have attempted an upgrade to 4.3 on my test machine in anticipation of upgrading our production environment.
My upgrade was/is from V3.2 to V4.3. I did the requisite mods on web.config. I changed the web site to be based upon .Net 2.0. When the upgrade is triggered by calling the site, I hang with the following error message:
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.

BTW: Please ignore the path name with "DNN3.1.0". It is the proper path. I have not wanted to risk creating errors with renaming the folder.
