Question

My site has been running fine for sometime now until recently I see in the event viewer a null reference exception in the DNN core:

DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.GetStatus() in

F:\Builds\Maintenance\WorkingDirectory\Library\Common\Globals.vb:line
1125 at DotNetNuke.Common.Initialize.InitializeApp(HttpApplication
app) in
F:\Builds\Maintenance\WorkingDirectory\Library\Common\Initialize.vb:line
138 at DotNetNuke.Common.Initialize.Init(HttpApplication app) in
F:\Builds\Maintenance\WorkingDirectory\Library\Common\Initialize.vb:line
228 at DotNetNuke.Common.Global.Global_BeginRequest(Object sender,
EventArgs e) at
System.Web.HttpApplication.SyncEventExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute()
at System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step,
Boolean& completedSynchronously)

the line 1125 is:

_Status = UpgradeStatus.None

Which is a property of the Globals class and an Enum

Also when this happens it doesnt just do it once then sort its self it does it roughly every minute for an hour or so.

I made sure all dataprovider.instances are either in a using or a try catch finally or self closing(if the reader is not used)

Any suggestion most welcome, as I’m officially lost.

Thanks
