Errors after upgrading from 2.0.4 to 2.1

web-app

Most of the upgrade appeared to work fine, but when I click on "My Work", "My Profile", or simply try to list all the items in a project "All issues", I'm getting NullReferenceExceptions everywhere.

This was from clicking "My Work": 

Server Error in '/Gemini' Application.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

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.

Another one from clicking "All issues" under a project:

Any ideas here?  I've wrestled with this for the past day, and the rest of my team is starting to get aggravated.

Thanks,

Did you setup the profile database?

Yes.  I created a new database "GEMINIASPNETDB", then ran InstallCommon.SQL and InstallProfile.SQL

After running those, the only table with data is dbo.aspnetSchemaVersions.

My web config has it set up as well along with the same permissions applied as the Gemini database.

    <add name="ProfilesServer" connectionString="data source=BUILDSERVER;initial catalog=GEMINIASPNETDB;TrustedConnection=true" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>

Thanks,

Scott

Some more info....

Given these two sections in the web.config:

  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="ProfilesServer" connectionString="data source=BUILDSERVER;initial catalog=GEMINIASPNETDB;TrustedConnection=true" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
  </connectionStrings>

    <profile defaultProvider="SqlProvider">
      <providers>
        <clear />
        <add name="SqlProvider"
          type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider"
          connectionStringName="ProfilesServer"
          applicationName="Gemini"
          description="SqlProfileProvider for Gemini" />
      </providers>

If I change the connectionStringName from "ProfileServer" to anything else, I get the same error message, which leads me to believe HttpContext.Current.Profile is null. but without seeing any code, I can only speculate.

Any other ideas here?  I installed everything on my local machine, and all works fine.

The only thing I can think of is that the web app did not install completely.

How did you upgrade? Can you try and install under a different virtual dir name?

I've tried it three different ways now, all with the same result.

This time, I completely uninstalled everything.  Starting from scratch, I created two databases -- Gemini, and Gemini_ASPNETDB and ran the installer pointing to the appropriate databases and see the same error.  Furthermore, I uninstalled everything again, and tried using only one database for both, and I'm still getting the same error message.

Lastly, I pointed the server to use my local database (which runs on my machine) and it still doesn't work.

Our server is running on a windows 2003 server with SharePoint 2003 installed, which I believe is causing the conflict.

With version 2.0.4, I had to add Gemini as an excluded directory for SP to manage, along with changing the trust level under <system.web> and all worked fine together, but it appears now that something with Gemini is conflicting with our SharePoint portal.  Unfortunately, this is the only internal server we can use to host Gemini, so I have a bad feeling we're gonna be stuck on version 2.0.4.

 

Thanks,
Scott

Scott,

You may need a section like follows (see above article).

<httpModules>

<add name="Profile" type="System.Web.Profile.ProfileModule" />

Thank you very much for your help!  This got me past the Sharepoint issues. 

After upgrading, I had quite a few nhibernate issues due to userids that were removed, but were causing some grief in the new version:

 

issues,

issuecomments,

timetracking,

personalfilters

 

Once I corrected the database for those 4 tables, all seems well again.

Thanks again,

Scott
