http://bhtech.co.uk/forum/install/ I am getting a 404 error. I used the BIN version of the latest package, and followed the ReadMe instructions.

STEP 6. (OPTIONAL) MODIFY "app.config" FILE:

By default YAF is designed to be installed at the root application on any IIS web server. If you want YAF to be installed off of the main root, you need to modify the root key. Make sure the files in the /bin directory of the YAF zip file are copied to /bin directory on the root of your web server. Then open up "app.config" and uncomment the "YAF.AppRoot" key. Enter the value as the directory to your forum. Example: If you have install the forum in the directory "/forum/yaf/" you will need to uncommend/add key with name "YAF.AppRoot" and value "/forum/yaf/" to app.config.

Wherever you install YAF the directory needs to be defined as a virtual directory in IIS.For example the root of your website where you put index.html in most of the hosting is virtual directory but then if you want to install YAF in sub folder and the host does not allow you to create more than one virtual directory then you need to add the above switch.

App.Root should be "/forum" and contents of forum bin should be copied to root/bin if you are not running in virtual directory of its own for forum, or to /forum/bin if forum does have its own virtual directory/application.

In first case, also web config should be merged with your root site's one and place in the root of web. In second case, it's ok in /forum dir.

When I post FP:Ederon in a topic, I'm leaving my footprint there so I can track it once I get into coding/supporting.

Right... Still showing an error. web.config is at bhtech.co.uk, as are the bin and app_code folders. My app.config file is the same as above. All the rest of the folders are in a forum folder, which is at bhtech.co.uk/forum, which also reports 404

When will this be roughly. Would this work on a subdomain (which I think should be a virtual directory)
