Hi everyone,

I messed up with a compression setting, specifically I cleared out the Whitespace compression box (not the checkbox, just the box) with some formula for the compression.  Now whenever I start the site up I get this.  Can anyone help me out?  I'm in a desperate situation here:

 

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

You are running an old version of DNN right?

http://support.dotnetnuke.com/issue/ViewIssue.aspx?id=6271&PROJID=2

In future do not enable whitespace with compression (no point) and I suggest you upgrade DNN if I'm right once fixed to at least 4.9.4 when it comes out.

I tried the work around and unfortunately that didn't seem to work.  I'm not sure if this is significant, but I noticed that whitespace compression is not enabled, at least in the Host Settings table in the database itself.

 you may need to enter the value directly into the HostSettings table. I'd suggest to use a blank DNN installation as master to copy values from .
