Hi,

for some reason, when i click finish button on install page i get following error everytime i tried to do a fresh install..

There has been a serious error loading the forum. No further information is available.

Please contact the administrator if this message persists.

Not sure why i can't install latest version? i downloaded YAF-v1.9.3-FINAL-BIN-NET35.zip.

I have everythning installed to run .net as i have installed other apps that run on 3.5.

Anykind of help would be great.

thanks

Edit the web.config in notepad, change CustomErrors to Off. Try the install again, and post the actual error message back to us if you can't get suss it yourself.

"It's a case of RTFM.. the only problem being we don't have a manual!"

When I post FP:Mek in a topic, I'm leaving my footprint there so I can track it once I get into coding/supporting. (Yes I stole this off Ederon 🙂 )

Problem with the .Net version compilation it appears. (Which I will fix and commit.)

Make sure you have this in your web.config:


	<system.codedom>
		<compilers>
			<compiler language="c#;cs;csharp" extension=".cs" warningLevel="4" type="Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089">
				<providerOption name="CompilerVersion" value="v3.5"/>
				<providerOption name="WarnAsError" value="false"/>
			</compiler>
			<compiler language="vb;vbs;visualbasic;vbscript" extension=".vb" warningLevel="4" type="Microsoft.VisualBasic.VBCodeProvider, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089">
				<providerOption name="CompilerVersion" value="v3.5"/>
				<providerOption name="OptionInfer" value="true"/>
				<providerOption name="WarnAsError" value="false"/>
			</compiler>
		</compilers>
	</system.codedom>
