On the shared hosting with Godaddy, I put the YAF files in a "forum" sub folder and created virtual directory "forum", but unable to get the forum working. I tried a few ways and they all failed, the ways I tried:

1)I set virtual directory "forum" as "Application Root", "YAF.Root" key was "/forum" and "YAF.BaseUrl" key was "~/forum/", this didn't work as it was redirecting me to "~/forum/forum/default.aspx" page

2) then I tried to assign "YAF.Root" key with "/"(with BaseUrl "~/forum/") or"YAF.BaseUrl" key to "~/"(Root as "/forum), these would cause Firefox to get certain "Redirect Loop" error while IE simply does nothing.

3) If I don't set the "Application Root" to the "forum" virtual directory, the YAF form authentication just won't work.

The only way I have not done and tried to avoid is:

**Not setting the "Application Root" to the sub directory, and move the config files to the root folder of the site, and copy the App_Code and Bin folder to parent folder, and/or set the form authentication just to the "forum' virtual directory**

Is this the only viable way to go? **really really** don't want to move the YAF web.config stuff to the root of the web site.

Thanks

It works perfectly in situation #2. You just didn't recycle your process (available option in your GoDaddy panel).

Try it again.

The problem was with my connection string. After updating that, I could see the configuration screen.

Interestingly, I ran into "Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerParserErrorException" during my first logging in attempt, then it kind of went away.

Try lost password page... does it fail?

Hi,

I have the exact same problem as Scrambler! It fails for any page, this seems to be due to a web config parameter.

Does anyone have any update about this issue please?

Thanks
