I have a site currently running v3.2.2 on Asp.Net v1.1
I have this peculiar issue after upgrading to either v3.3.1 or v4.3.1 with this particular site- it is quite large and the main portal has quite a large file system.

The error appears ONLY when an Admin user is trying to view the Admin-File Manager. When a Host user accesses the Host-File Manager the error does not occur.

I have scoured these forums looking for an answer- and I am out of leads. ANY help would be appreciated.

The error that appears on the page is-
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.Security.Permissions.Controls.FolderPermissionsGrid.SaveViewState() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at

I am having this same problem on 4.3.1 after upgrading from 4.03. Admin File Manager crashes.
The server is running W2003 and Sql Server 2005.
At least we are are not alone!!
I have been readig about permission and folder sync issues - hopefully it will be fixed in 4.3.2/3.3.2 and we can just upgrade.

Here is an excerpt from my log.
Let me know if you get a fix sooner.

Is it just that error that is recorded in the logs? Or is that the 1st of 2 or 3, like mine was?

I thought I would be alone on this issue- because my site has been upgraded all the way up from the v1 days. I thought this would be down to data hang-over from all those upgrades.

Is your site an original v3- or is it older than that?
Let me know.

Cheers,

I get 5 errors logged when attempting to use the file manager under the admin tab.

The first two are a module load, then a page load.

The module load errors is due to a null format.

ModuleId: 358
ModuleDefId: 21
FriendlyName: File Manager
ModuleControlSource: Admin/Files/FileManager.ascx
AssemblyVersion: 04.03.02
Method: System.String.Format

Followed by a page load error,

AssemblyVersion: 04.03.02
Method: DotNetNuke.Security.Permissions.Controls.FolderPermissionsGrid.SaveViewState
FileName:
FileLineNumber: 0
FileColumnNumber: 0
PortalID: 0

This pair repeats, followed by another load page.

As you can see, I just loaded 4.3.2 on top and get the same errors - so no fix there.

Time to go back to my 4.0.03 backup and wait for 4.3.3 or try a 4.0.3 to 4.3.2 upgrade.

This portal was an oringal 4.0.3 portal.

My other production site is 3.2.2 and will stay there a while.

Good luck, Jim

I can only assume this is appearing because of the changes in 3.3.x and 4.3.x in relation to secure file storage.
I was investigating whether or not my error was as a result of Folder path names had a space character, or a %20% character in it. -Hence the invalid characters in path error.

I went through and removed what I thought would be offending path names- to no avail.
Although your error with a String.Format sounds very similar.

Pity no one else has cottoned on to what the problem might be.
I may (if I get frustrated enough) use the database on a source install, and step through the code to see what is really going on.
