Hello, I tried to install DNN 5.1.2 on GoDaddy and received the following error : DotNetNuke Error System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: format at System.String.format(IformatProvider provider, String format, Object[] args) at System.String.format(String format, Object arg0) at DotNetNuke.Services.Install.InstallWizard.TestDatabaseConnection() at DotNetNuke.Services.Install.InstallWizard.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.OnLoad(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) Any idea why this happened? Thanks!

Did you use GoDaddy's automatic installation process? At what point did this error occur?

This seems to be related to the "Test database connection" part of the installation process. Did you leave one of the fields empty?

No i havent used automatic installation. I have just uploaded the files on server, and i tried to access my site when this error ocured. Now i have tried again using another database and another DNN version *1st time i used DNN 5.1.2, now DNN 5.1.1* and here it is the screen i get. You can find it attached.

You should be using DotNetNuke 5.1.2.  It fixes several bugs in 5.1.1. 

Delete all of the files.  Delete the database.  Start completely over using the Install package.  Please let me know the results.

It seems like something is missing.  Is there a way to check that AJAX and ASP.NET are installed on this site?

Did this message happen at the beginning of the install process, or were there screens that you saw first.

It might be worthwhile to contact GoDaddy's tech support staff.  This appears to be a larger problem than simply installing DotNetNuke.
