&lt;p&gt;1. Forget to assign some value&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;a variable?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Assigned value without&amp;nbsp;creating an instance of the variable?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Set the variable equal to Nothing/null manually somwhere within the code?&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Help with dotnetnuke error</title><link>http://forums.iis.net/thread/1881809.aspx</link><pubDate>Sat, 11 Oct 2008 12:33:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">50bcf3b4-f6fe-4638-adff-0c150e922e99:1881809</guid><dc:creator>brokensaber</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://forums.iis.net/thread/1881809.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://forums.iis.net/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=1046&amp;PostID=1881809</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;I have Vista Ultimate, IIS7, SQL Express.&amp;nbsp; I followed the guide at dotnetnuke, however the author of the guide said he couldn&amp;#39;t get it to work with the express edition.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; My installation on it however went flawless.&amp;nbsp; Dotnetnuke works fine under localhost, however when I type my url &lt;a href="http://mysite.com/dotnetnuke"&gt;http://mysite.com/dotnetnuke&lt;/a&gt; i get this error.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is this a web.config error, if so what would I need to edit?&lt;/p&gt;
