An error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." occurs when trying to access Site Setting and Host Settings in a DNN website with version 7.1. On checking Event Viewer, I got the  following description:

Please help me here. The site was set as a portal alias earlier but now it is an independent DNN site.

I suggest downloading and running the following scripts (you'll need to restart DNN afterwards and should start with a database backup!):
http://dnnscript.codeplex.com/release...
http://dnnscript.codeplex.com/release...
There is no guarantee to fix the issue, but it shouldn't harm (and run on 7.1.0 as well, even if tested on 7.1.2 and above only yet).

Thanks for the update. Applying those scripts didn't help to solve the problem. The Host Settings and Site Settings pages are still giving errors. Other pages seem to load without problems.

Following is the error that I see in portal logs.

there is a client side control failing, but the reason might be on the server side.
Unfortunately, the stack trace does not provide valuable details, sorry.
