    I'm having the following exception when creating Document Center site collection, and because of this error the create site collection reverts back.

    Failed to activate feature 'TaxonomyFieldAdded' (Id 73ef14b1-13a9-416b-a9b5-ececa2b0604c) associated with site template 'BDR#0' at scope \"http://spapp/sites/site1\".  Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

    at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFeature.DoActivationCallout(Boolean fActivate, Boolean fForce)

    at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFeatureCollection.AddInternal(SP... d0df909d-4f39-f0c4-08e0-76edbac4bb4a

    Does anyone know why this exception is being thrown?

    Also is there a way to not activate for instance "TaxonomyFieldAdded" when a site collection is created. I looked at the feature directory and there was an option that said something close to "do not active on default," but since this feature is a Site feature the "do no activate on default" doesn't apply to Site or Web features. I also read something close to saying that any farm activated features will be activated on site and web features.

    Any help, pointer and suggestion is appreciated.

    Thanks.
