I have been trying to upgrade to 6.0 from 5.6.3 and I can't seem to get anything to work. The only error that I'm getting is the following:
2011-07-28 10:36:30,885 [thawebtest][Thread:6][ERROR] DotNetNuke.Services.FileSystem.FileManager - Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at DotNetNuke.Services.FileSystem.FolderProvider.Instance(String friendlyName)
at DotNetNuke.Services.FileSystem.FileManager.AddFile(IFolderInfo folder, String fileName, Stream fileContent, Boolean overwrite, Boolean checkPermissions, String contentType)
No other errors are being reported. After the upgrade (which goes fine), I get a page that says:
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:
- Internet connectivity has been lost.
- The website is temporarily unavailable.
- The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
- The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain.
- There might be a typing error in the address.
- If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click Tools, click Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section.
I have tried every suggestion that I have seen on the forums, including manually merging the web.config file, insuring that all of the providers get moved over, checked folder permissions, reloading multiple times, etc. Am I missing anything?
Our test server is a virtual server that running Server 2008 on IIS 7.5 and the SQL Server is a different server running SQL Server 2005.
Any suggestions would be greatly apprieciated.
