Hi

We are in the process of updating our production 6R2 database to 7.5

We have executed all of the relevant upgrade tools through deployment centre and have also used the package manager console to  update to the database to the relevant version.

Unfortunately we are now receiving an error when browsing site content.

Can anybody provide more information on what the cause could be? And how to resolve it?

We are browsing to the site locally e.g. http://localhost:17125/

We have googled this issue with no useful solutions e.g. http://world.episerver.com/Modules/Forum/Pages/Thread.aspx?id=86566

Log below:

After further investigation I have noticed that PageReference.StartPage is an empty Guid if that helps?

It turns out that for some reason that start page was not set for the EPiServer instance.

To resolve this go to Admin -> Manage Websites -> Edit Website and check the start page is set.  If not set it and save :)
