Hello!

I've moved SilverStripe CMS from Linux server to Windows, and now sometimes I'm getting this error, and I don't know why:

PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function forTemplate() on a non-object in C:\www\mydomain.com\framework\admin\code\LeftAndMain.php on line 582.

I'm using CMS and Framework 3.1.6.

What could cause this error?

Thanks!

Pretty much exactly what the error says: A non-object where an object is expected.
eg.

$obj = false;
$obj->forTemplate();

I imagine getEditForm is returning something unexpected (ie, not a Form) for some reason. http://api.silverstripe.org/3.1/source-class-LeftAndMain.html#582
