I uploaded all files and ran the installer I kept getting a "could not connect to database error" and now I am getting: I think I have more then 1 issue now. Lets start here.

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>

<system.web>

<customErrors mode="Off"/>

</system.web>

</configuration>

Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>

I downloaded Mircosoft Webmatrix to updated to the latest version.

In order to see the true error, you need to do exactly what this response tells you: Edit your web.config file, change the line for custom errors to read:

<customErrors mode="off">

<system.web>

<customErrors mode="Off">

<trace enabled="false"/>

<xhtmlConformance mode="Transitional"/>

<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8"/>

<authentication mode="Forms">

<forms name=".YAFNET_Authentication" protection="All" timeout="43200" cookieless="UseCookies"/>

</authentication>

<!-- Set debug to "true" to test out the system in development -->

<compilation defaultLanguage="c#" debug="false">

<assemblies>

Did you run the Install Wizard to Create the Database? You need to run yourforumdomain.com/install/default.aspx First in order to setup YAF.
