Site administration - Object not found error

mojoPortal Version 2.4.0.9 MSSQL
Operating System Microsoft Windows NT 6.3.9600.0
ASP.NET Info 4.0.30319.34209 Running in Full Trust

On one of the sites in my multi-site installation, attempting to use the Site Settings screen, I get an Object not found error.  This is the entry in the system log:

2015-08-22 12:33:12,849 ERROR 82.40.9.29 - en-GB - /Admin/SiteSettings.aspx - mojoPortal.Web.Global -  Referrer(http://www.odquiz.org.uk/Admin/AdminMenu.aspx) useragent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at mojoPortal.Web.AdminUI.SiteSettingsPage.LoadSettings()
   at mojoPortal.Web.AdminUI.SiteSettingsPage.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)
   at mojoPortal.Web.mojoBasePage.OnLoad(EventArgs e)
   at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive()
   at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)

The site uses the Mitchison-business3 skin, and I have compared the files with the version in the extraskins.zip download, and they appear to be the same.

Other sites using different skins work fine.

Any idea what may be the problem?

UPDATE:

It is not just the one site, it appears to be all within the multi-site

Further Update:

​Commenting out the section I added to user.config to force en-GB fixes the problem.  The section was as follows:


<!--
<add key="UseCultureOverride" value="true" />
 <add key="site1culture" value="en-GB" />
 <add key="site1uiculture" value="en-GB" />
 <add key="site2culture" value="en-GB" />
 <add key="site2uiculture" value="en-GB" />
 <add key="site4culture" value="en-GB" />
 <add key="site4uiculture" value="en-GB" />
 <add key="site5culture" value="en-GB" />
 <add key="site5uiculture" value="en-GB" />
 <add key="site6culture" value="en-GB" />
 <add key="site6uiculture" value="en-GB" />
 <add key="site7culture" value="en-GB" />
 <add key="site7uiculture" value="en-GB" />
 <add key="site9culture" value="en-GB" />
 <add key="site9uiculture" value="en-GB" />
 <add key="site13culture" value="en-GB" />
 <add key="site13uiculture" value="en-GB" />
 <add key="site15culture" value="en-GB" />
 <add key="site15uiculture" value="en-GB" />
 <add key="site16culture" value="en-GB" />
 <add key="site16uiculture" value="en-GB" />
 <add key="site18culture" value="en-GB" />
 <add key="site18uiculture" value="en-GB" />
 <add key="site19culture" value="en-GB" />
 <add key="site19uiculture" value="en-GB" />
  <add key="DefaultCountry" value="GB" />

Re: Site administration - Object not found error

I am not able to reproduce this problem.

Do make sure that you have not changed this in Web.config because doing so could result in null reference exceptions:

<globalization culture="auto:en-US" uiCulture="auto:en-US" requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" fileEncoding="iso-8859-15" />

you should be able to force a language in user.config without changing the above in Web.config. The above makes it fallback to en-US in the case where there are missing keys in the resource files for en-GB (or any other language), otherwise the missing keys would cause null reference exceptions. most of our translations are incomplete and would cause null reference exceptions without this.
