I have just installed a fresh copy of umbraco 4.0.2.1 (without Runway) on my server and everything went well until I tried to create a new doc type. When I create a new document type, the name of the doctype appears in the tree, however on the right hand panel I am getting an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error.
Is this the very first thing you've done in your install? Generally I see this error is there is a Data Type that is contained on a Document Type (or Member Type) that has been deleted. I'd start by looking there - in Data Types.
Thanks for the help Paul. Adding the doctype was the very first thing I had tried in this install. I ended up recopying the files to the server and that seems to have solved the problem for now.

Just to say thanks. This helped me too.
You can simply download your web.config and re-upload to your root directory. ASP.NET has to reload and that fixes the problem.
The re-upload worked for me! Thanks.
Worked here as well. Thanks : )
Same problem on 4.7.1.1 - Fix simply tweak the web.config and try again, I imagine recycling the app pool would have the same effect! Thanks Guys! :-)
