I am trying to do a clean install DotNetNuke 4.3.4 on ServerIntellect (3rd party hosting provider). It looks like things go well until up to the very end, after it installs modules, when it tries to do the following:
00:03:28.250 - Creating Portal: My Website
00:03:30.062 - Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
00:03:30.078 - Portal failed to install:
00:03:30.078 - Installing Optional Resources:
Installation Complete
When I then try to click on my new portal after the install, lo and behold I get:
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.

DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalSettings.GetPortalSettings(Int32 TabId, PortalAliasInfo objPortalAliasInfo) +125

System.Web.SyncEventExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() +92
System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +64 |
Based on the error, I'm guessing the script that failed was probably something related to inserting data into the database.
I have not dug into the code yet, but really wanted to avoid having to do that-looking for a quick portal solution. Can anyone give me pointers? Be nice if there was some better error handling / message so I could know what is going on. I had no problem installing previous versions of DotNetNuke on ServerIntellect, so I really doubt it has to do with my host.
