-- DotNetNuke: Error parsing Portal TemplateObject

Problem:

You create a new child portal and receive the following error: Error parsing Portal TemplateObject

Cause:

Although I'm not 100% sure what the cause is I believe it's related to Host and Or Admin File Manager settings being out of synch.

Solution:

1. Delete the child portal under host -> portal settings
2. Delete the child folder (usually the name of the child portal)
3. Synchronize the files under Host -> File Manager (be sure to check recursive),
4. Synchronize the files under Admin -> File Manager (be sure to check recursive)
5. Restart Application under Host -> Site Settings (very bottom)
