MySQL had nothing to do with it. The local host by and of itself does NOT contain a database. Visual Studio 2010 does, but it was NOT compatible with the Yaf.net forums (newer/older version?) So that is why I had to delete ALL the SQL files and re-install the correct version that does work with Yaf.net. I'm not certain how or if MySQL works with Yaf, so that is a question for another thread, maybe.

It DOES work just fine on my local host, and uploading the files that I customized on my local host up to the server worked just fine as well. The bottom line is that if you're using your local host, you do still need a database. If you want to install Yaf.net on your local host, like I said, it DOES work, but it DOES require a database that is compatible with Yaf.net.

Thanks for providing this amazing application. I'm using the YAF for a one year, approximately.

However, I found a recent difficulty. I always used the YAF with local database SQLExpress 2008. However, the need has arisen to use YAF with remote connection for SQLServer2008 R2.

summarizing:

[list]

The virtual path \forumati is an aplication folder within IIS7.5

SQLServer2008R2 is on server "B", the same subnet.[/list]

When i used the sqlexpress on the local machine, everything worked perfectly. I believe it is a problem in db.config. How can i configure the db.config file to establish a connection with sqlserver2008R2 on another machine (the same subnet).

Thanks for some help!!

obs: Sorry about my english. :(

Best regards.

use the address of the server as datasource (for example the ip adress)

<add name="yafnet" connectionString='data source=ipaddress;initial catalog=yafnetdatabasename;uid=USERNAME;pwd=PASSWORD' providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
