Sigh!  I can get DNN4 to install just fine on my home machine,  but remotely on my webserver (through a hosting company) is proving to be an exercise in persistence.

OK, I got them to install ASP.Net2.0, my SQL Server database is set up, the DNS mapping points to it correctly, and the file permissions have been set so that DNN would finally install.  I got the usual feedback from the DNN install, which indicated no errors or warning.  This ended with the link to access my portal.

Upon clicking that I get:  "An unhandled error has occured."

The only other information is in the URL:?tabid=36&error=Object+reference+not+set+to+an+instance+of+an+object.&content=0

Any thoughts of where to go from here?

I have the same error.

I have windows2000 running, all the latest service packs. I have dotnet 1.1 + 2.0, latest servicepacks. SQL Server 2000, latest patches. I downloaded DNN 2 days ago. I created a new database (DotNetNuke), gave dnn full rights to it, everyone has r/w access to c:\DotNetNuke. Webconfig and all is fine.

It installs fine, including all database migrations. Then it gives me the same error you got. I saw a few other forum threads about this as well but no answers yet.

One thing: ISS doesnt use 'Default' as default WWW root. I renamed it because I wanted to host multiple sites. I hope this doesnt matter too much.

<localhost>/DotNetNuke/Install.aspx?mode=none says everything is fine and has the latest version number.

The error I get when starting DotNetNuke is this one:

[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
   DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalSettings.GetPortalSettings(Int32 TabId, PortalAliasInfo objPortalAliasInfo) +125
   DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalSettings..ctor(Int32 tabId, PortalAliasInfo objPortalAliasInfo) +83
   DotNetNuke.HttpModules.UrlRewriteModule.OnBeginRequest(Object s, EventArgs e) +5768
   System.Web.SyncEventExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() +92
  System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +64

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

Any ideas?
