Is this Portal method or MVC? What site (using the wizard) did you choose as your starting point, blank site?

Hello Greetings from Chile I had the same problem when importing ERROR: Failed to create site root. Message: The value can not be null. Parameter name: settings

The solution:

1.- site -> new site wizard 2.- Create a new site using an assistant 3.- Name of the website: * ... here is the name of the site to import And continues

As the name of my site is already created then I can now do import without problems

I do not have a technical explanation for this, I just want you to know how to solve it this way

Export / import kentico 10 If you need more details, tell me
