Easy to replicate, just have an install of umbraco with no content or content types and then go to /
You'll get a YSOD:

Actually it doesn't matter about no content types, this just happens when there's no content.
If you have no content then why oh why is it trying to convert a content to an IPublishedContent -- and failing, because you have no content types. Granted, the exception should be more explicit -- going to work on that one today. But.... it looks like Umbraco actually ''did'' find some content.
Happened to me when a) you run your test website and create some content that goes to umbraco.config then b) you wipe the database and start again, but don't remove umbraco.config so c) umbraco.config is still there and not empty => umbraco thinks you have content.
I am pretty sure that's the cause of the issue. Have pushed commit 7677193 in 6.2 that brings a better exception message, such as "ContentTypeService failed to find a content type with alias 'whatever'". Now you have to figure out why we're looking for such a content type in the first place, if it does not exist -- usually because of a rogue umbraco.config.
Ahh yup, def think it's a rogue umbraco.config! Will mark this as fixed, thanks for looking into that!
