    Fresh Install 4.0.2.1 - Object reference not set error

    Hi,

    I have just installed a fresh copy of umbraco 4.0.2.1 (without Runway) on my server and everything went well until I tried to create a new doc type.  When I create a new document type, the name of the doctype appears in the tree, however on the right hand panel I am getting an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error.

    Stack Trace is:

    Thanks,

    Aaron

    Is this the very first thing you've done in your install?  Generally I see this error is there is a Data Type that is contained on a Document Type (or Member Type) that has been deleted.  I'd start by looking there - in Data Types.

    Thanks for the help Paul.  Adding the doctype was the very first thing I had tried in this install.  I ended up recopying the files to the server and that seems to have solved the problem for now.

    You can simply download your web.config and re-upload to your root directory. ASP.NET has to reload and that fixes the problem.

    The re-upload worked for me! Thanks.

    Same problem on 4.7.1.1 - Fix simply tweak the web.config and try again, I imagine recycling the app pool would have the same effect! Thanks Guys! :-)
