Hi,I have a site with both English and French by using the variation setup and it is in production and I backed it up and try to install in on my development machine by using the following command restore-spsite -identity http://devsite -path C:\DailyBackup.bak -forceStrange thing is I can open the english site http://devsite/En without any problem , but when I open the French site http://devsite/FrI got the following error.Server Error in '/' Application.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.When I open go to Manage Site Content and Structure, the English and French sites are there, but one thing that I found strange is, the site icons in my production are variation site icons, but in my development machine, they are just regular site icons. I believe something is not setup properly when it was restored; can you please let me know how I could get it fixed?Thanks in advance. Your help could be greatly appreciated.

Hi, It might have to be with the url of the pages & layouts, that change between your environments. ¿Can you edit the page properties?
