Yesterday the site completely crashed with the message:
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.Framework.DefaultPage.Page_Init(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.OnInit(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Page.OnInit(EventArgs e) at DotNetNuke.Framework.PageBase.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 ---
Even rebooting the server didn’t help. Only after copying the website folder to a new folder and making it the new website it started working again but the event log messages are still coming. The website is running on a single server (not a webfarm) with a few other websites asp.net 1.1 and 2.0. The DotNetNuke website uses its own Application pool.
I’m afraid that it is just a matter of time before the site crashes again. Any help is appreciated.
