Install Fails After Optional Skins Page 

DNN version 4.9 install

everything looks correct

All permissions are set correctly, DB connection/tables get created. going through the setup just fine. once I get to the Install Optional Skins page and I click next, I get a run time error. anyone run into this problem?  see below

 

Runtime Error

Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

Re: Install Fails After Optional Skins Page 

What happens if you refresh the page after receiving the error?

Also, have you tried making the change noted in the error message you received and then trying running the install again so you can see the actual error message and not the custom error not set page?  If so, can you post the actual/new error message.

Re: Install Fails After Optional Skins Page 

now I find out that this only happens when I do a custom install. if I do a typical install it installs fine. there must be an issue with something I am selecting during custom install.

Re: Install Fails After Optional Skins Page 

we found a similar problem with our custom install.

The "unfriendly" error is as follows:

Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: value 
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.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: value

Re: Install Fails After Optional Skins Page 

 Do you have any other ASP.Net 2.0 (or higher) Web Applications running on this same server?  The reason I ask is because the error appears to be coming from the .Net Framework itself and not DNN specifically.  DNN can cause a .Net error, but most often the error is in or bubbles up to the DNN components when it is a DNN error.  Either way, it appears to be a caching issue. I am going to do some searching on DNN and known Caching issues that may result in this type of error.
