  I have several sites set up with Sitefinity and am trying to set up another. The installation is complete, I can log into the admin tool, have uploaded my master page/template but I get this error when I try to create any page:
  
  [NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
     Telerik.Cms.Web.EditPage.CreateChildControls() +242
     System.Web.UI.Control.EnsureChildControls() +87
     System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() +44
     System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +842
  
  Any help is greatly appreciated. Paul

  Hi Paul Dench,
  
  Can you please let us know if the error is reproduced with the default template of Sitefinity? Is the issue isolated to a particular master page that you use for your template?

  Hi,
  
  The page is created correctly if I use the default Sitefinity template. My master page isn't really that complicated, but it sure seems that the issue is there. Any idea what could cause this?
  
  Thanks
  Paul

  I found the problem. The form tag in my master page didn't have runat=server in it.
  
  Thanks for the help!
  Paul
