Hi All,

I have just installed on an Azure WebApp and completed the set-up as per the instructions including running the wizard etc and all seemed well but after this I am getting the following error.

Any Help please.

Server Error in '/' Application.

Are you using the included recommended web.configs?

Yes as per the instructions I renamed the Recommended-Azure.web.config and put in the Machine key and SMTP settings.

The install part works perfect it's just clicking the Finish button at the end gives this error.

I assume you downloaded YAF 2.3.0 BETA1? You maybe should upgrade to BETA 2.

or try to add this line to the default.aspx

So I started from scratch with everything but this time used the download for the "YAF.NET v2.2.4.15 Sample Web Application" and this time went thru the Install screens and got to the end of adding adding a Board and got this error.

Server Error in '/' Application.
No candidates for a guest were found for the board 1.

Hi.

I am still struggling with this, using the latest GitHub build works and runs but login always fails with password failed so got a new password via the recovery email and that failed as well.

So as I need a forum PDQ I downloaded and installed the Stable version and that had all sorts of nasty errors so binned that.

3rd time lucky I downloaded and used the Sample Web application version from the downloads section, all seemed to work the DB was built and then get the same error of

No candidates for a guest were found for the board 1.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: No candidates for a guest were found for the board 1.

SO my question is that the forum I am writing this on clearly works and there are no issues so I must be doing something wrong here, I am just trying to run it locally for now with the DB in Azure.

Any ideas?

Thanks Cliff.

Well i can't really help anymore since i don't have an option to test this on azure. But did you select as recommended on github. Standard DB on Azure or Basic DB?
