I moved all of the sitecore data developed in our local environment to the Amazon Web Service's Server.
I attached database. setting IIS. and rewrote connection strings.
But it doesn't work. I saw error page like this when I access top page.

Local environment

  • windows 7
  • SQL Server 2012 sp1
  • IIS 7.5
  • Sitecore version 7.2

AWS environment

  • Windows Server R2 Standard
  • SQL Server 2012 Express sp1
  • IIS 8.5
  • Sitecore version 7.2

I have tried all the way written in this page(tracking NullReferenceExceptions in sitecore) but these techniques doesn't work in this case. Please tell me how to do, if someone knows. Thank you.

This gives away the cause of the exception:

Sitecore.Configuration.Factory.LoadAutoIncludeFiles(ConfigPatcher patcher, String folder) +1064
Sitecore.Configuration.Factory.GetConfiguration() +331

You have an error in one of the config include files (/App_Config/Include)
There is probably some malformed XML in there somewhere.

Also make sure there are no *.Debug.config or *.Release.config files in there.
