Recently, we have come across some known issues in WebsitePanel (WSP) running in Windows 2008 64bits R2 edition. Changes cannot be save inside WSP Website Properties and is throwing the following error:
Stack Trace: System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. —> System.Exception: Error executing ‘UPDATE’ task on ‘test.com’ WEB_SITE —> System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. —> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

The solution we have managed to come across is to make sure the hosting spaces / plans which are created to have .Net enabled. If this does not work for you, please feel free to share your thaught.
