Hello

I need any immediate help on this issue. I am working on a pay per
click web development project. I have a development server and localhost setup. When I try to access the database on the development server through localhost it is giving the following error.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Source Error:

An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

Stack Trace:


[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
   WebPublisher.CategorySettings.InitializeComponent( )
   WebPublisher.CategorySettings.OnInit(EventArgs e)
   System.Web.UI.Control.InitRecursive(Control namingContainer) +241
   System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain() +195


When I did some research on the error, I came to know that i need to configure my SQL server with TCP/IP. I tried some suggestions on web such as changing the port number. but it still din't work. I greatly appreciate it if anyone can help me out on this issue.

Thank you
