Yetanother forums setup
Yetanotherforums being a pretty good forum made in Asp .Net can get pretty nasty when installing it, especially with iis 7.0
I found a site which describerd a few things on what to do especially with me getting all sorts of security exception, and then after going through that i had issues with sql server.
I still don’t know how well it will cope up but it seems to be working.
a few things is required in the web.config file (rename default.config to web.config if this is a fresh installation) and change the yafnet section to look like this
you may also require the following in the system.web section if you get a lot of configurationExceptions
After finally getting through the initial setup screens i started getting sqlClient exceptions.
Something to do with the column name never existed. It was something to do with the database being case sensitive. So i ran the scripts manually and it runs beautifully now.
I will be making the forums live after a few weeks and a lot of testing and setting up the site as it is required to.
I am also in a hunt for themes for this forums, but i assume this will have to be made to fit.
