Question

I have an Asp.Net MVC application that works in the vs.net development web server. When I publish to IIS7 I get the following error. I have spent many hours and still no solution!

 [NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
   System.Web.PipelineStepManager.ResumeSteps(Exception error) +929
   System.Web.HttpApplication.BeginProcessRequestNotification(HttpContext context, AsyncCallback cb) +91
   System.Web.HttpRuntime.ProcessRequestNotificationPrivate(IIS7WorkerRequest wr, HttpContext context) +508

Here is the Application_Start

protected void Application_Start()
        {


                ConfigureLogging();


                ComponentRegistrar.RegisterComponents();


                NHibernateSession.InitSqlServer2005(new WebSessionStorage(this), Settings.Default.DefaultConnString);


                CacheManager.InitCaches();

            }
        }

I came late to this application and do not know the best practices of MVC and NHibernate

You cant configure nhibernate in application start. I don’t exactly know why, but I also had this problem.

You can initialize it in Init(). Also you can see it is done here
