Value cannot be null error moving from one server to another
We have moved a working site from one server to another to create a test version.
The live site works perfectly, but nothing at all appears for viewing pages on the copy and when viewing a content page we get an error:
Value cannot be null. Parameter name: value 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.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
The site is 4.0.3 on win2k3 with a SQL 2k5 database.
All permissions etc have been set.
Is it possible that the two servers have different regional settings and it is trying to use a language that is not present. I'm searching for information about setting up the language files and so far I have found nothing. I'm basing the idea that this is a problem caused by language files on other forum posts that suggest this is the cause of this error. The whole site is in English.
The umbracoLanguages table contains
id languageISOCode languageCultureName
1 en-US en-US
The umbracoDomains table has one entry
id domainDefaultLanguage domainRootStructureID domainName
3 1 1138
The cmsLanguageText table contains no rows.
These are all the same on the working server and the copy that doesn't work.

found the problem
actually it was a bad database export - someone else did it I'm not sure what they did wrong - but when I exported the database again it worked fine
got there by elimination
would still really appreciate a pointer towards how to manage and create language files though
when i follow the link to the language tool i get directed back to the documentation home
is working on a reply...
