Hi Joe
POk, so looking in the security properties, having created the site via NVQuicksitem the application pool has been given the default name, which isn't in the list of avaiable users/groups etc for me to add permissions to the folder, si I am guessing this is the issue.
I have IUSR and IIS_IUSRS but nothing else.
Ok, so got that sorted, but still not working, still getting the same error.
Posted By Jeffwest1 on 19 Nov 2019 07:14 AM Timo NETWORK SERVICE was what was said in one of the many docs I have read on upgrading DNN, it says numerous times to making sure this is set. some suggestions around the old forums also said about ISS_USRS and IISUSRS, again I have set all of these.

These must have been either old threads or not recently updated documentation. You can use those too but the "best practive" way is the App Pool User
So again I have gone back to the start.
Created the site, deleted from the website folder everything, add my old site, then copied over the 7.4.1 update files, ran the site, and I get the same error.on screen, and the same errors in the log file.
I have changed no permissions on the folder, and made no other than the re-point to a new database via the web.config.
And in the fodler security you don't see a user with the name of the application pool?
If not from the folder secirity tab:
Hi Timo
Yes I do see that and it has full permissions on the folder.

Ok and the error you have now is " Object reference not set to an instance of an object "?
Yes, when I look in the log file,
I create the site via nvQuickSite, I open this once created to confirm all is good, I am using the 7 platform
I close that down and after removing the created website files, not the folder, and adding my old one, then copying into the same folder the upgrade files, then i recycle the AppPool, and restart the site, then open the site, it gives the error everytime.
I have done all of this again this morning including taking a fresh copy of my curent site.
Last time I tried this yeaterday I also ran two DNN Turbo scripts, but they made no difference.
