I am trying to install from an old DNN 4 template site backup which used portal 0 and I think it is refusing to use 0 as a null value? Error below:

Error Installing Portal:
Error parsing Portal TemplateValue cannot be null. Parameter name: fileContent at DotNetNuke.Common.Requires.NotNull(String argName, Object argValue) at DotNetNuke.Services.FileSystem.FileManager.AddFile(IFolderInfo folder, String fileName, Stream fileContent, Boolean overwrite, Boolean checkPermissions, String contentType) at DotNetNuke.Services.FileSystem.FileManager.AddFile(IFolderInfo folder, String fileName, Stream fileContent, Boolean overwrite) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.ParseFiles(XmlNodeList nodeFiles, Int32 portalId, FolderInfo objFolder) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.ParseFolders(XmlNode nodeFolders, Int32 PortalId) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.ParseTemplate(Int32 PortalId, String TemplatePath, String TemplateFile, Int32 AdministratorId, PortalTemplateModuleAction mergeTabs, Boolean IsNewPortal) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.CreatePortal(String portalName, UserInfo adminUser, String description, String keyWords, String templatePath, String templateFile, String homeDirectory, String portalAlias, String serverPath, String childPath, Boolean isChildPortal)

Any help would be very appreciated as installing by hand is too much!

Thanks

Due to complete instability of the DNN 6.1 HTML module I decided to downgrade to DNN 5.06. I was able to reinstall with my DNN 4 version template backup which installed 4 portals but I got one to work. My version 4 skin probably means this is the latest version I can run without complete redesign.

On to performance issues now. Thanks

Portal templates typically only work on the version of DNN they were created on.

Yeah, that's not so much help!

06.01.02  is no better. We cannot even get any child template to generate. The failure causes the attempted alias to be crated and becomes listed as not available.

We have tried default templates, no page template, one page template with blank, exported template from the current version.

Basically the portal creating (that was working just fine in DNN 6.0.0 is well and truly broken.

Error parsing Portal TemplateThe extension '.ascx' is not allowed. The file has not been added. at DotNetNuke.Services.FileSystem.FileManager.AddFile(IFolderInfo folder, String fileName, Stream fileContent, Boolean overwrite, Boolean checkPermissions, String contentType) at DotNetNuke.Services.FileSystem.FileManager.AddFile(IFolderInfo folder, String fileName, Stream fileContent, Boolean overwrite) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.ParseFiles(XmlNodeList nodeFiles, Int32 portalId, FolderInfo objFolder) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.ParseFolders(XmlNode nodeFolders, Int32 PortalId) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.ParseTemplate(Int32 PortalId, String TemplatePath, String TemplateFile, Int32 AdministratorId, PortalTemplateModuleAction mergeTabs, Boolean IsNewPortal) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.CreatePortal(String portalName, UserInfo adminUser, String description, String keyWords, String templatePath, String templateFile, String homeDirectory, String portalAlias, String serverPath, String childPath, Boolean isChildPortal)
