The initial upgrade went fine, no errors.  As an admin, all modules seem to work fine.  When I go to any page as a regular user, I get the following error on all html modules:

I've tried reinstalling the html module.  I've deleted and re-added the instances of the html modules, but nothing seems to work. 
If I set the cache for the module instance to 0, the module works.  Setting it back to any value spawns the error above.  The
Module Cache Provider drop down in the host settings is also blank.  Therefore, I'm betting they are related.  Any advice on how to get the drop down populated?
My web.config entries for caching:
<moduleCaching defaultProvider="FileModuleCachingProvider">
      <providers>
        <clear />
        <add name="FileModuleCachingProvider" type="DotNetNuke.Services.ModuleCache.FileProvider, DotNetNuke.Provider.ModuleCaching.FileProvider" providerPath="~\Providers\ModuleCachingProviders\FileModuleCachingProvider\" />
        <add name="MemoryModuleCachingProvider" type="DotNetNuke.Services.ModuleCache.MemoryProvider, DotNetNuke.Provider.ModuleCaching.MemoryProvider" providerPath="~\Providers\ModuleCachingProviders\MemoryModuleCachingProvider\" />
      </providers>
    </moduleCaching>
    <outputCaching defaultProvider="FileOutputCachingProvider">
      <providers>
        <clear />
      </providers>
    </outputCaching>

Thanks for any help.

I attempted to upgrade from community 5.2 and have same results.  I did get some errors during the upgrade as well.    I don't know if the upgrade errors are related to the "object reference not set....." error.  I never like seeing errors in the upgrade log.

I rolled back, installed 5.5.1 and everything went fine. I'll hold off on 5.6 for awhile.

I successfully upgraded a development DNN site from 5.4 to 5.6. So I migrated production to 5.4 and then to 5.6 without any issues.
