Re: 'dnn.getVar(...)' is null or not an object

Is this on first access to the site after setting up as http://www.mysite.com or after you've accessed the site as HOST or Admin?
Have you localized any content on the site prior to this error message being displayed?
Did you do any code implementation in Visual Studio prior to loading the site in IIS?

I'm asking these questions because if you Google the error the are 3 of the first hits in Google:
