Can you tell what is the exact error you are getting ? If you don't see error description then temporarily enable ASP.net errors from the arvixe control panel.
thanks for getting back to me. Funny thing. I applied the dll's you provided to my system test site on arvixe. I restarted the app pool and website. i deleted the local cache. The website was not working. The changes did not seem to have any effect. I then went to bed. So i get up this morning and the system test website is working again. So there must be a cache of some sort the arvixe side. If this is the case i dont know how to force this to refresh.
Anyway i have applied the exact same changes to my uat and it is not working. The full stack trace is

I will wait and see if this starts working before i apply the changes to my live site
Ok its all sorted now. Thank you Aamir for your dlls. they worked fantastically. you are a life saver. the problems i had were to do with additional plugins that i had that used fluent validation. thank you so much for making those dlls available
I have a nop 2.5 site on arvixe. they recently upgraded to ASP.NET 4.5 and my site has stopped working. I have tried the steps suggested by aamir_nop. i copied the files across to their respective folders on arvixe and restarted the app pool. unfortuneately it did not fix the problem for me.
I was just wondering if anyone else has tried this on 2.5 and how they got on. I am just trying to figure out if i have done something wrong or i have missed something
After doing all this, my Nop2.5 site is now up, but, cant create fourm topics I get the same Operation could destabilize the runtime error, cant get into admin area I get " Specified file does not exist: "~/Content/telerik.common.min.css". I tried copying the missing file, but still no fun. Everything was working fine till last night, not sure what Arvixe did, or what happened suddenly that I started facing these issues, please help...
