This all started when I tried to install the Razor Host module to run Razor Scripts and in an attempt to create a DNN module similar to the Razor Hackathon modules. I found it but it indicated it was missing a piece(unfortunately not telling me what piece) .So I tried installing one of the providers, thinking it needed one of them to work. Big Mistake. Suddenly i got an error similar to the one below, and then it became "An errror has occured, an error has occured".  I reinstalled everything deleted the database and the files.. after several attempts to reinstall seemeing successful I have got the following message 

The version is 06.02.01 that I am having issues with. Install failed multiple times, I deleted everything and reinstalled, but it is still giving me the following error in my installation. I am using SQL Server 2008, :

This most recent error occured after database scripts had installed, and I had set permissions for the superuser.

An error has occurred. DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.PageLoadException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Skin.GetSkin(PageBase page) at DotNetNuke.Framework.DefaultPage.OnInit(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.InitRecursive(Control namingContainer) at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

Seems like some skin information is missing, but why from a new install?

Could it be the application pool I'm running in? I am using Windows Vista 64 bit. I am also using IIS 7.0

How can I solve this problem, should I just install a previous version of Dotnetnuke? These ran stably for ever... (DNN 5).

Any help appreciated in advance.

Thanks,

Jeremy Cummings

Razor doesn't need any providers. You just need to be running under Microsoft .Net 4.0, then install the module. Not sure about everything else here. Sounds like you have a severely hosed installation. It needs a lot of attention to get it back into working order. I'd suggest a fresh install.

Hi All,

Yes.. I tried reinstalling several times. installation wizard ran but crashed after giving the host information. I deleted the database and all the files and reunzipped the download all four times. it still didn't work. I am going to try a previous version of dotnetnuke and see if I have any better luck. let me know if there is anything else I can do to get this install to work.

Thanks,

Jeremy

I am experiencing this same behavior with 6.1.5 on my webhost, 3essentials. The website was already functioning for several months and then last week kept crashing with this error. They keep saying it's DNN's fault, but it started out of the blue. I looked in the event viewer and can't see anything that was done to trigger it. I am guessing that 3essentials did something to the server or settings without telling me. I don't even know where to tell them to look. The only way to bring the site back is to set debug to true in the web.config and then change it back...but that only fixes it for a day.
