Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.5466; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.5456

The latest version is .NET 4 only. If your server supports .net 4, change the application pool to 4.0.

Thanks for the prompt response! I tried that and I get error 500.


Server Error




500 - Internal server error.

There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.

Thanks,

Need to change IIS configuration to allow detailed errors to clients, then change YAF web.config and set customErrors to "Off" - this will give detailed error message --

Thanks for all the help! It turned out that I needed to register .net and once I did that via the cmd prompt and a quick IIS restart the site came up.

Best,
