Hello

I'm pulling my hair out here.. can't work out what I have done wrong!

I have downloaded an entire 4.7.1 site off our live server to my local machine. I have got a copy of the live database and linked that up and set it all up in my local IIS! But.... when I try and run it it just throws a 404 looking for this page:

http://mysite.dev/install/default.aspx?redir=true&url=/

I can log into the umbraco backend using the password that has been previously set, and I can see my entire site.

But when I click on the home node, in the right hand window I get an object reference not set error with the following stacktrace:

[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
   umbraco.controls.ContentControl.addControlNew(Property p, TabPage tp, String Caption) +251
   umbraco.controls.ContentControl.CreateChildControls() +897
   System.Web.UI.Control.EnsureChildControls() +83
   umbraco.controls.ContentControl.OnInit(EventArgs e) +100
   System.Web.UI.Control.InitRecursive(Control namingContainer) +134
   System.Web.UI.Control.AddedControl(Control control, Int32 index) +191
   System.Web.UI.ControlCollection.Add(Control child) +86
   umbraco.cms.presentation.editContent.OnInit(EventArgs e) +1444
   System.Web.UI.Control.InitRecursive(Control namingContainer) +134
   System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint

I have tried republishing the entire site and given "everyone" all permissions on the folder.
I have also redownloaded the site and DB and tried again but all with no success.

The site is running fine on the live server and I have done this before and have plenty of other umbraco sites running fine on my local machine.

Ideas anyone?
