Did you change these back to normal no forum/. I redid a install and everything went fine.
Code:<connectionStrings configSource="forum/db.config"/>
<appSettings configSource="forum/app.config"/>
<rewriter configSource="forum/URLRewriter.config"/>
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp configSource="forum/mail.config"/>
Heres about the easiest way to set it up.
In VS create new website - choose empty website in C:\YAF
Add folder named Forum
Unzip YAF download to C:\YAF\Forum
Move APP_Code, Bin, app.config, mail.config, db.config,
URLrewriter.config and the Recommended_web.config to the root C:\YAF
Rename Recommended_web.config to web.config.
Set your password in app.config
<add key="YAF.ConfigPassword" value="Secret" />
Add/Uncomment in app.config
<add key="YAF.FileRoot" value="~/Forum"/> <-- May not need this as it seems to run ok without it
<add key="YAF.AppRoot" value="~/Forum" />
add new itew - sqldatabase, will create APP_DATA Folder
add db connection string to db.config
Set Forum/Default.aspx as startup page
Build and Run, Should work
I think thats it, Post up any errors as maybe I missed something.
