After doing a fresh install of 1.9.3 RC2, I was able to add two new users (plus the Admin user of course). When I try to add another user (whether from Admin or from Register), I get this:

Server Error in '/' Application.

When I change compilation debug to true in my web.config, I get this:

What am I doing wrong??? When I try to re-add the user, I'm told that he already exists, even though I can't find a record anywhere. I've used SQL Management Studio to remove all traces of the new user and tried again, but obviously I'm missing an instance! I find the unsuccessfully added new user in yaf_prov_Membership, NOT in yaf_User (where I'd expect to find him); where else should I go to delete all traces so I can try again?

Looks like its the Private Message bug where you don't give the private message a title. If your handy with sql just look into the private messages table and type in any Title.

We've yet to fix that one.

Humour me and check. Null reference is being thrown after YAF is looking at the get_UnreadPRivate(). Unless i'm being completely stupid, which can never be ruled out.

Okay... I actually had to create a PM from within the program since there were none in the db yet. Checked it and it had a title. Deleted the person I was trying to add from the yaf_prov_Membership table and tried again to add them as New User, and received a new error:

Server Error in '/' Application.

What next? Oh - btw, the person IS now in the db!

EDIT: Okay - I played around and got him added in the tay_User table. I copied another ProviderUserKey for haha's and I can now see him under Members... but I can't click on his name there to do anything - it tells me:

Access Denied

You tried to enter a area where you didn't have access.

Continue...

Ideas?

ANOTHER EDIT: Okay I played some more... by clicking Search on the Filter Area of the Admin Index page, I finally see him. Trying again to edit him, I get this:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Any suggestions? I'm at a standstill here... this user cannot logon, and I still cannot create another user.

EDIT: Okay, from the Admin page, I deleted that user, then tried to add him as a New User. Now I get this error:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Be aware of caching. While testing, you create/delete users & forums quickly and then run into unexpected results when trying to access them because the cache hasn't caught up.

Other than that, it sounds like Mek was right about your PM with no title, but you never confirmed that was true. Maybe that is the root of all this trouble.

I've installed 1.9.3RC2 many times and in many configurations and never had any trouble creating users. I would try starting over.

Would also be interested to know whether you have made any changes the .config files particularly relating to the Membership, Roles, and PRofiles providers.

I guess I wasn't clear enough earlier... I *DID* follow Mek's instructions - I had to add a PM, then checked, and there WAS a title.

NO changes in the config files except as regards my connection string.

With this particular installation, I only need four (4) users... and for whatever reason, I'm only able to create three. So I think the advice about reinstalling is probably good advice and I will probably attempt that tomorrow. Thanks all!

UPDATE:

Even though the holidays took their toll and postponed my reinstallation, I've finally accomplished it - and in case anybody was following this thread - it solved my problems! I've been able to create new users as needed with no further problems! Thanks to all who provided insight, and Happy New Year!
