Hello there,

to find out the cause of this problem in Yaf, I think it would interesting to find out where this error comes from. I agree we don't want to fix peoples problems with Outlook connections or whatever this is about.

As I have postet aready on severa topics regarding the same thing, I have 2 machines, one works and the other gets this error, where the only difference is that one has the old Java and the other the new one. I think 1.4 and 1.5. But don't quote me on that. I will not see them before Tuesday.

It would be great, from everybody who encounters the problem, to know the Java version. I have similar problems at the moment with other implementations. As soon as the newest Java is on buttons don't work and all kinds of funny things happen.

Thank you very much in advance.....

....

Hi Tamara,

I responded to several of the others with the same message. I suspect that it has to do with Java. We have two identical machines at work, hardware and software. The only thing different is. One has a new Jave and the other an old one. Would you mind to look what your Jave version is?

Thanks....

Hi Graveworm,

I know how you feel. It took me ages to find the soutions. I made my life more difficut with some unorthodox installation with different ports. But when you stick to a standart installation you should be fine.

Here I just paste my web.confi file so you can see what you need to do.

For those who see that I use the sa to log on. I know this is not good, but this is for a test only. So the security has to be corrected.

On the path of YAF you will see that I have DNN in front. Just make sure you put the right path in. In my case the dot net nuke is accessed the following way: http://localhost/dnn.

I am sure you can find out the rest.

By the way this is DNN 3.0.11

Hi Jos,

as I have the same problem on one machine and not on an other, would you mind to tell me your Java version?

Thank you very much....

Hi Drew,

I have the same probem with some clients. The strange thing is that we have the same Win XP with the same SP and built of IE6. One of the machines shows the mentioned Error and the other works fine. Both access the site through the same proxy and and and ..... The only thing I just remember that might be different. The one coworer is lazier then the other and I think the more egar one has installed the newest jave version on his system, while the other just took everything as is.

Thanks for any help!!!

The situation is even worse. A Topic can only stand allone. Everybody who quotes or replies gets kicked out. That allone would not be the worsed, as one could come back in. But one can not enter the reply.

Something strange is happening. I finally got YAF 0.99 to work on DNN 3.0.11. My users are getting thrown out of DNN completely when I use YAF. Only the Admin can last longer, but even he gets kicked off once in a while. The user just jeeds to click 3 of the tabs such as My Profile, Members and Active Topics and he is out. Also after writing a new post one usually gets kicked out.

Any ideas would be great!!!!

I have the problem with both browsers. FireFox bahaves exactly the same.

Hi everybody,

as good as the documentation is. I have the feeling I made something wrong or something is missing. I get the folowing error.

A critical error has occurred.
Failed to load /DNN311/DesktopModules/YetAnotherForumDotNet/pages/forum.ascx.

It just does not want to initiaize.

Also I have no table in the database nor do I have a database on the SQL server. Do I have to create it myself before starting the whole installation.

Is there the possibility that a failed install causes that one needs to remove everything again and start from scratch?

Thanks you very much in advance....

dotnetting.....

Hi Jos,

I copied the DLLs into the DNN directory. But still I am not getting it to run.

A critical error has occurred.
Failed to load /DNN311/DesktopModules/YetAnotherForumDotNet/pages/forum.ascx.

Is the error and I have no idea why it does not work. As I don't know what to expect on the SQL server I might oversee something, but I can not find a table, database or anything that looks like YAF.

Any help would be great....
