Ugh.  Out of the blue, File Manager has stopped working.  Here are the pertinent details from the Log Viewer:

AssemblyVersion: 03.03.05
ActiveTabName: File Manager
RawURL: /Default.aspx?tabid=46&error=Object+reference+not+set+to+an+instance+of+an+object.&content=0
DefaultDataProvider: DotNetNuke.Data.SqlDataProvider, DotNetNuke.SqlDataProvider
ExceptionGUID: d6943792-df6c-41cd-ac48-3b6d9e47d6aa
InnerException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Method: DotNetNuke.Security.Permissions.Controls.FolderPermissionsGrid.SaveViewState
Message: DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.PageLoadException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Security.Permissions.Controls.FolderPermissionsGrid.SaveViewState() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Page.SavePageViewState() at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain() --- End of inner exception stack trace ---


Can anyone please give me a clue on how to fix this? 

Thanks in advance!

To add to the mystery...

  • If I load the file manager from the Hosts menu, everything is okay.  It loads fine.
     
  • If I load the file manager from the Admin menu of any of my Portals, it crashes.
     
  • Same thing if I click the File Manager icon from the Common Task bar at the top of the screen.

So, the $64,000 question is -- Why don't the portal specific file managers work when the Host version does?

Did you try to restart the application (from the bottom of host settings)?

Well, I'm not exactly sure what you're getting at.  I did update those settings, and clear the cache.  No dice.

I also restarted the application be default when I changed the web.config.  I tried using a different userid to connect to the SQL Server in case it was a permissions issue getting at the files table.  No luck there either.

Any other ideas?
