    I have built a small site locally and uploaded it to a shared hosting environment. I have a number of other DNN sites with the same hoster. None are DNN 9.x

    This site is DNN 9.6.1 and I see the error below. I have spoken to the hosting provider and they have looked at it but cannot see what the problem is. Can any of the selective brain trust here give any pointers as to where I can look for a solution?

    There are some entries in web.config that need to be removed for the shared hosting. Custom Headers and rewrite rules for example.

    "File load" seems to be the problem suggesting permissions? I have checked permissions and they are the same as other sites running succesfully.

    Google gives some strange suggestions for this error.

      This appears to be an artifact from a hosting plan that's highly locked down.  I assume this website ran fine locally?  Have you tried raising the trust level in the web.config?  I haven't seen this error before, by the way.

        Thanks Will,

        Yes the site is running fine locally.

        I deleted the hosting instance and created a new webspace using server 2012. Taking it one step at a time I have arrived at:
        Server Error in '/' Application.
        Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
        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.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

        Source Error:

        An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

        Stack Trace:

        Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.8.3928.0

        I know access to the db is OK as the Event Log shows me an entry for application start followed by a General Exception
        AbsoluteURLDefaultDataProviderDotNetNuke.Data.SqlDataProvider, DotNetNukeExceptionGUID2881f5b2-fb4c-4f58-a25a-ea6231c44acc

        This does not tell me much, unfortunately, but the original error displayed above mentions output caching.

        PS: The server does serve up a html page

          Bingo Will, your previous response at https://www.dnnsoftware.c...null-reference-error was the solution to my problem.

          Thank you,
