I am attempting to upgrade a portal on the intranet that is using Windows Authentication.  It is currently DNN version 4.0.3 running on Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6.0. 

Whenever I have upgraded any other portals, it has worked flawlessly.  Literally, the only difference between the two environments is that the intranet one is using Windows Authentication.  Everything else is the same (same versions, same modules, etc.).

When I attempt to view the page to initialize the upgrade, I get the following error:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I just thought of something else.  The one true customization I have is that I am using the telerik r.a.d. Editor.  One of the requirements of using the telerik products is that I needed to remove the " runat="server"" attribute from the BODY tag.  I just figured I would offer up this information just in case it would help someone give some advice here.

Here is the other error when I try to access the File Manager as Host...

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 System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.SaveViewStateRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Page.SaveAllState() at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

THe rest of the site seems to work fairly well.

I had a problem like this and it was because I hadn't correctly merged the old web.config with the new one.

Does that help?
