Awesome work as always, thanks everyone! Can't wait to upgrade!

I wanted to be first to congratulate you, but the Executor beat me to it! Congrats!

I'll be looking forward to upgrading when the source is available, if it will still be released.

Sorry to go off-track a bit, but what's the sweet theme used for anonymous users on the new site? When I logged in, my prior selected theme replaced it. The thing is I went through all the available themes in my profile, but I didn't find it. Is it available to registered users?

Thanks, much.

Yes, AutoFac is new in v1.9.5.5. You need to provide more permissions to the \bin directory. Verify YAF.NET has the following on the /bin folder:

Read
Read & Execute
List Folder Contents

Sweet, updating it now. PS:

STEP 3. Upgade - The WEB.CONFIG FILE

Yall forgot the "r" in Upgrade.

EDIT: works beautifully so far! Great work folks.

just one question: is there any change in database?

Thanks, bbobb! I realized I was being stupid and could have found out with a view-source, so thank you for overlooking my stupidity. :oops:

That wasn't it. This error is the weirdest I have ever seen. I had to use a brand new "host header" for it to work. Then I created another site with the old host header w/ the exact same setting and point to the same folder on the hard drive as the physical path and yet, the 2nd site ran into that Security Error. Then I deleted the 2nd site and rename the binding host header of the 1st (working site) site to the old header. As soon as that is done, the Security Error came up again. Changing the site back to the new host header didn't help (hence I can't get it to work again).

I have rebooted the server and also removed existing application pool. I have no clue why different binding host header caused that error. And why changing it back to the previous host header that was working didn't work again.

Dave, you're kidding 🙂 I always feel myself kinda idiot when I see an unknown code. In a learning curve proccess, so I'm stupid too, we're in the same boat 😛 . The release has so many enhancements and code changes since previous stable version that it'll take a lot of time to learn and spot'em.

I put the PDBs out there to get more info about this error. Info below, line 90.

Look here. I think it's related to this
http://tracker.yetanotherforum.net/Issues/IssueDetail.aspx?id=148 
I think that someone from YAF developers  will fix it.
UPDATE: You should check permissions for folders first.
