Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hello,

I am new to Sitefinity. I am starting to integrate a static HTML template into a Sitefinity template. I stripped down the HTML of the old site's existing home page template. I copied over the the asp tags with the content areas, but then I get the following error when I try to access the published stage site. Note that I can use "preview" links from the Sitefinity admin and see the page just fine.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hello,

 There seems to be something wrong with template. Can you share its actual code?
