5 things don't work, but everything else seems to work fine:

1) ADMIN USER

2) NEW ACCESS MASKS

3) EDIT (the default listed masks)

4) USERS (don't show up?)

5) NEW MEDAL

The ADMIN USER can be seen when you go to MEMBERS (right hand corner) and click on a member's name...then the ADMIN USER is in the right hand corner. It brings up an error.

The ACCESS MASKS is in the Admin Control Panel(left hand side) , and inside it has NEW ACCESS MASKS, which brings up an error as well as EDIT on any of the default listed masks.

I also think that when I click on USERS in the Admin Control Panel, it doesn't list any users at all.

MEDALS in the Admin Control Panel, NEW MEDAL doesn't work.

This is the exact error I get...if I press Try Again, it kicks me back out to the beginning, as if I just logged on.

GoDaddy is my host...

And yes this is from a straight fresh install and also did re-install when it didn't work the first time. Same problem.

Can anyone help me out here? 😢

Thanks in advance,

Someone said the web.config file is xxxxx.web.config (by default) and it has to be renamed? I have to check that, but why would it be xxxx.web.config and not just web.config? Unless I read the post wrong.

But, does has anyone else experienced one or more of these problems? If so, can anyone share their solutions? I and others would surely appreciate them.

But still looking for another way...

Looks like a lot of grief with your software and GoDaddy.

I'll be glad to test it out for you. I don't need a 100% working one until a couple of months later, if that's the reason why you didn't release it yet...just wanting to place down the foundation. I would be sure to report back any errors and such. Not being able to change a user's level is frustrating right now and unusable in a sense.

GoDaddy provided this project with a free hosting account to test YAF on... at this point it does install and work fine. I'll be releasing beta 3 here in the next day or so...

You can try again with that version.

After some tweaking with the web.config, I found a configuration that worked consistently and generated no errors. I have it running on all three sites right now.

Thanks for your information, DD.

We're discussing the latest version -- v1.9.4 in thread, though.
