I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this error below; it has been driving me crazy. I recently installed dotnetnuke and have not edited any code. all i have done is add pages and update some settings. It occurs when logging in when any username and password that is not a superuser. I then setup my root to redirect to my dotnetnuke folder and as soon as I access my domain this error displays.

Yes, all I have done is choose which skins I wanted to use. But they are the default ones that come with DNN. I can't even get to the control panel anymore.
