This is meant to be a series. Without ANY ado, let me introduce the first one: 
This one mostly happens to newcomers to DotNetNuke development that don’t read, or just do some fast skimming over the instructions for DotNetNuke installation. It doesn’t happen when using the Install package, just with the Source one and will manifest itself when calling the application for the first time from the browser. The Parser Error Message is vague and specific at the same time, “Could not load type 'DotNetNuke.Common.Global'”. Of course, with some experience, it’s clear that the cause is a missing web.config file. Look at the Website folder, make a copy of the development.config file and rename it web.config. Then go ahead and install DotNetNuke.

Re: Common DotNetNuke Errors –Tip 1
Nice post. This one catches me all of the time, since I do not often install the source.

Re: Common DotNetNuke Errors –Tip 1
Great idea for a series Néstor! Often these happen infrequently enough that while we know we've seen it before we are unsure what caused it - or forget the simple remedy.
Eventually we might even replace theactual error messages with suggestions for resolving the problem, eh?!

Re: Common DotNetNuke Errors –Tip 1
Although friendlier messages are the way to go, this one wouldn't be in our hands to implement. The error is generated even before the installer application can start. Since it is source, a developer should be facing it, and we always find a way. I'm just trying to keep it somewhere. Hopefully this series will end in THE DNN Documentation repository tree.
