    server-error when editing users

    When clicking on an existing user I get this error.

    Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
      at umbraco.cms.presentation.user.EditUserType.BindActions()
      at umbraco.cms.presentation.user.EditUserType.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)
      at System.Web.Util.CalliHelper.EventArgFunctionCaller(IntPtr fp, Object o, Object t, EventArgs e)
      at System.EventHandler.Invoke(Object sender, EventArgs e)
      at umbraco.BasePages.BasePage.OnLoad(EventArgs e)
      at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive()
      at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)

    I am on shared hosting with Umbraco 4.7 and gave read&write permissions to the web-user and the network service.

    I hope this is enough information to tell what is wrong?

    Umbraco - Invalid character in the given encoding. Line 1, position 38

     

    Key Words

    Users Error, Invalid character in the given encoding. Line 1, position 38​

     

    Description

    When logged into Umbraco's BackOffice and a User is selected from the Users Node in the Section Bar, an error is shown in the Content Area with the title, "Invalid character in the given encoding. Line 1, position 38". 

     
     
    This error is very vague and very little documentation is found on the error.  
     
     

    Possible Causes

     
    1. Spaces between nodes and/or invalid characters inside the xml files located in: 
      1. /Umbraco/Config/Lang
      2. /Umbraco_Client/Config/Lang
    2. Spaces and/or invalid characters in config files in:
      1. /Config/
     

    Solution

     
    1. Delete all​ language xml files not being used.  You can always add an xml file if a different language needs to be supported.
    2. Open Text Wrangler ( MAC ) and open every xml file and config file to edit. For each file:
      1. ​Select all text
      2. Select menu item Text > Zap Gremlins
      3. Select all options (Non-ASCII Characters, Control Characters, Null (ASCII 0) Characters)
      4. Select Delete under, "Zapped Characters:" unless you want to mark the zapped characters, then select one of the other options accordingly
      5. Press "Zapp"
      6. Save and close after you zap
     
     
    If this doesn't correct the problem, make sure the permissions are setup correctly on your server.
