Hi Everyone.

This is my first post!

I'm trying to work on an existing Umbraco installation (4.7.0) but am struggling accessing the site locally on IIS. I can get to the backend and login fine.

When I try to access the front end I am getting the error:

[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
   umbraco.item..ctor(IDictionary elements, IDictionary attributes) +665
   umbraco.presentation.templateControls.ItemRenderer.GetFieldContents(Item item) +426

We ahve tried to get past this for a while now but no luck. Any ideas of what the problem is?
