Hi,

Accessing the Server tab produces this error:

From the log:

2024-02-19 13:53:20,567 [Astech-0002][Thread:71][ERROR] Dnn.PersonaBar.Servers.Services.SystemInfoApplicationHostController - System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at Dnn.PersonaBar.Servers.Services.SystemInfoApplicationHostController.GetApplicationInfo()

From the browser console:

Does anyone know the cause of this and how to resolve it, please?

Thanks,

Roger

Congrats on posting!

On https://dnnsupport.dnnsof...-missing-Persona-Bar you can correctly drill down to the issue. Might be permissions, might be an assembly binding

I remember this happening after some failed upgrades. Is this the latest version, do you see any obvious errors in portals/_default/logs install log files ?

Thank you for your replies.

My apologies - I should have included the logged error in my original post. This is what is logged:-
2024-02-20 09:18:37,541 [Local Machine Name][Thread:108][ERROR] Dnn.PersonaBar.Servers.Services.SystemInfoApplicationHostController - System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at Dnn.PersonaBar.Servers.Services.SystemInfoApplicationHostController.GetApplicationInfo()

My current installed CMIS version is 9.11.0

Many thanks in advance for any additional help!

Another member of my team has managed to resolve this issue.  The following two pieces of code were missing from the web.config file.

Nice find!  This is one of the reasons I have a step in our normal upgrade process to manually compare and merge updates.  Over time, things like this can happen.  Sometimes, it's from a bug that was never previously discovered, and other times it's someone doing something manually to try to fix something else.  (Also, unknown mistakes happen too.)
