Answers:
Thank you for visiting the Q&A section on Magenaut. Please note that all the answers may not help you solve the issue immediately. So please treat them as advisements. If you found the post helpful (or not), leave a comment & I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
Method 1
I have sometimes seen this error. In one of the cases, it was that the connection to the db wasn’t succeeding. Like the comments above suggested, try checking whether the password for prod is correct. You could probably try connecting to the db immediately at the top of your method and see if the code breaks on that line when you debug it.
I would also try looking in the decompiled code for this if you have access to it to see if there are any clues there.
Method 2
You just have to check line 185 in FileUploader.aspx.cs.
Null reference exceptions are thrown when there’s an attempt to access a member of an object set as null.
Once you get the affected line you need to check what are all the objects that might be null and try to understand why they might be null.
Troubleshooting this kind of issues sometimes is easy but sometimes require you to add additional logging.
