I just upgraded a website on our SQL 2000 server from DNN 4.9.0 all the way to 5.1.4.
All of the installations came back to me with success, but when I went back to the home page most of the text was not displayed.

The left most HTML module shows an abridged version of the following error:

Could Not Load Container: /Portals/0/Containers/squarewhite/squarewhite_padding.ascx
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Unhandled error loading module. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.UI.Containers.ActionBase.get_PortalSettings() at Telerik.DNN.SkinObjects.MenuActions..ctor() at ASP.desktopmodules_telerik_skinobjects_radmenuactions_ascx..ctor() at ASP.portals_0_containers_squarewhite_squarewhite_padding_ascx.__BuildControldnnACTIONS() at ASP.portals_0_containers_squarewhite_squarewhite_padding_ascx.__BuildControlTree(portals_0_containers_squarewhite_squarewhite_padding_ascx __ctrl) at ASP.portals_0_containers_squarewhite_squarewhite_padding_ascx.FrameworkInitialize() at System.Web.UI.UserControl.InitializeAsUserControlInternal() at System.Web.UI.TemplateControl.LoadControl(IWebObjectFactory objectFactory, VirtualPath virtualPath, Type t, Object[] parameters) at System.Web.UI.TemplateControl.LoadControl(VirtualPath virtualPath) at System.Web.UI.TemplateControl.LoadControl(String virtualPath) at DotNetNuke.UI.ControlUtilities.LoadControl[T](TemplateControl containerControl, String ControlSrc) at DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Pane.LoadContainerByPath(String ContainerPath) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

Any assistance on this error would be appreciated. The quicker, the better.

Please remember that you have to use SQL Server 2005+ for further upgrade.
