Here's the scoop. I created an Umbraco 6 MVC app locally (pointing to a Yocto shared SQL server appharbor add-on), installed it and it runs fine. I can add doc types, create content, blah, blah.... locally.

Then I pushed the solution to the AppHarbor GIT repo and it built and deployed successfully. However, to my surprise, I get a lovely YSOD and the following error when I try to go to the home page:

[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.] Umbraco.Web.UmbracoModule.BeginRequest(HttpContextBase httpContext) +13 Umbraco.Web.UmbracoModule.b__5(Object sender, EventArgs e) +253
System.Web.SyncEventExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() +136 System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +69

The app's errors logs report this error is occurring for the following request paths: / /favicon.ico

This one has me stumped. Any thoughts?

  • I did see the post you mentioned, but it didn't help me resolve my issue. – user2865304 Oct 11 '13 at 16:33
  • Can you browse to favicon.ico in your repo? Try clicking on the file in your solution and setting to Copy Always, recommit and publish. – MikeW Oct 15 '13 at 06:44
  • @MikeW thank you for the feedback. I will try what you suggest the next time I'm in front of VS. – user2865304 Oct 15 '13 at 18:27
  • Any news on this? I'm not using apphabour, but I have the same error, when I deploy to IIS7. – Steffen Jørgensen Oct 21 '13 at 08:10

Answer was right above this one on google. :)

You're probably missing global.asax. I created an empty ASP.NET project, and Umbraco nuget package didn't include global.asax in content / project.

I had the a similar error with Umbraco 7 installed with package-manager.

The fix was to edit the global.asax from

<%@ Application Codebehind="Global.asax.cs" Inherits="MyNamespace.MvcApplication" Language="C#" %>

to

<%@ Application Codebehind="Global.asax.cs" Inherits="Umbraco.Web.UmbracoApplication" Language="C#" %>
