Hey guys,

I am on Windows Vista, with DNN version 4.7 and after what looked like a successful install I am getting an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error when trying to load the site up.

 

In debug mode I found that it's being caused on line 920 of Localization.vb where it's referencing Server.MapPath(ApplicationResourceDirectory + "/Locales.Portal-" + objPortalSettings.PortalId.ToString + ".xml")

 

Upon closer inspection, in the App_GlobalResources directory, there are no "locales.portal-[anything].xml" files.

Did the install not complete successfully?

I followed all the Vista specific setup steps I could find and had some issues with giving folder permissions.  Could this be related?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Additionally...everytime it comes across this error it moves an app_offline.htm file to my recycle bin.

Not sure why?

I've been noticing the file "app_offline.htm" showing up in my recycle bin all the time now. I did a search and came across this post. I had a hunch it might have something to do with DotNetNuke.
