I was having a similar problem and found the issue. You need to check and see if your DotNetNuke.config file got updated properly. It should have the following section at the bottom of the file. If not add it and try to browsing to your site.

  <skinningdefaults>
    <skininfo folder="/DNN-Blue/" default="Horizontal Menu - Fixed Width.ascx" admindefault="Horizontal Menu - Fixed Width.ascx" />
    <containerinfo folder="/DNN-Blue/" default="Image Header - Color Background.ascx" admindefault="Image Header - Color Background.ascx" />
  </skinningdefaults>

Note: This section should be inside the </configuration> section. The file should be located in the same directory as your web.config file.

Best of luck...
Ron

If the skin (e.g.: C:\DotNetNuke\Portals\_default\Skins\DNN-Blue) exists,

and skinningdefaults is not a child of configuration,
make the end of DotNetNuke.config look like this:

    </blockrequests>
    <skinningdefaults>
        <skininfo folder="/DNN-Blue/" default="Horizontal Menu - Fixed Width.ascx" admindefault="Horizontal Menu - Fixed Width.ascx" />
        <containerinfo folder="/DNN-Blue/" default="Image Header - Color Background.ascx" admindefault="Image Header - Color Background.ascx" />
    </skinningdefaults>
</configuration>
