Hi

I got the below error for my production site

500 Server Error
An error occured during processing : if possible, check the event log of the server
Exception:

Can anyone help me for this ?

Thanks

I have more questions than answers to start:

Which version of DotNetNuke?
Has this site been running and now has started throwing the error?
Have you made any changes to the site?
Can you get to any pages?

Some things to try include restarting the site and/or the server. It's possible that this is really a manifestation of not being able to connect to the database server. So, check and make sure that is working. Check to see that the database's transaction log has not filled. If it is, you can clean up some space by backing up the database.

Oh, and this is a server error as opposed to a DotNetNuke error, correct? Following the suggestion to have someone look at the server logs might help.

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

i am using dnn version 05.02.02.

i have restarted my iis. the site came up. however some times this site going down. especially the week end .

that time usually we will do the iis restart.

Are you using any custom modules?

I don't think that the exception you listed is the problem that is bringing down the site.

Is it possible for me to look at the site?

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

Sorry you may not be able to view the site.

We are using some special features in our site like ,

Localization

Telerik controls

iFinity

The Url Master module is the 'root' of this exception, (as in the call to process request is where it started) but not the cause.

The underlying cause is probably some type of instability in your site. The problem is that the 'portalSettings' object cannot be created correctly. The portalSettings object contains all of the current request portal information, like the domain name, current tab, etc.

See here for other occurences of this issue:

This may be related to some type of caching error or something similar. I would clear the cache, recycle the application pool and in general restart everything.

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

We have no iis cache or logs running , it has been disabled
Everyday at 2 am we clear the app pool.

Have you had any success getting things running again?
