Http 500 when trying to create new users

Hi,

I'm getting the following exception when trying to create a new user in an EPiServer 7.5 site:

EPiServer.Global: 1.2.5 Unhandled exception in ASP.NET
System.Web.HttpUnhandledException (0x80004005): Exception of type 'System.Web.HttpUnhandledException' was thrown. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

The same error occurs when trying to access My Settings. 

I've tried to reset my settings as described in blog post by Linus Ekstrom: http://world.episerver.com/blogs/Linus-Ekstrom/Dates/2013/1/Resetting-your-EPiServer-views/

Anyone know what's causing this ?

Hi Øyvind,

I found one support case that had the same issue. For him the issue started after he upgraded the site to a newer package. Is this the case for you too?

He found out that the modules folder was locked so the files didn't get updated. After making sure the folder wasn't locked he performed the update again (reinstalling the package) and it started to work again.

Hope this helps!

Hi Toni,

Thanks a lot! That was it! :)

The source was moved beetween source control systems and then upgraded through nuget - so I guess some locks on those files still remained.

Hi guys,

We also encounter this problem when we upgraded to v7.19.2.0.

It is working on my local pc but not on live site.

Can you give us the details of what you did to solve this issue?

Thanks.

Hi guys,

Its now working. Aside from replacing all the DLLs of live site with the new DLLs, we have deleted the previous "Modules" folder from the old VPP folder, and deleted the ASP.NET temporary files because I guess the site is still fetching from the old Dlls.

Thanks.
