I am using ASP.NET 4.0 website + YAF-v1.9.6.1-RTW. I successfully integrated the YAF into ~/forum subdirectory using this tutorial: Integrate YAF into existing Membership 

However, I have some very frustrating problems. I was trying to solve them for a couple of hours now (tried to find out what can cause this error by inspecting the SRC script version) but without any success.

Installation procedure went without any problems, I am able to use forum as an administrator and as a user (write post and basically everything) but I am not able to manage the website using Admin and Host links.

I get the following errors (I thought that it is easier to see the problems on the screenshot, rather than copy-paste the code):




This is my Web.config:



As you can see it is slightly modified (removed db.config and put connections string inside etc.).

What is important: I handled my page authentication without any membership providers. But I was forced to write MembershipProvider and RoleProvider in order to integrate YAF (I used YAF ProfileProvider). But those (my) providers are just "empty" and implement only needed functions by YAF e.g. GetUser (registration via YAF would be disabled).

Here are sensitive parts of those two providers (I hope those would be helpful to solve my issue):

And thanks in advance for any help!! (and your time) Basically thanks for any words!!

I have the same problem with Standard ASP.NET Membership/Role/Profile providers. So probably, there is something wrong with the Web.Config


Please, take a look on it. Thanks.

Found a solution. It's very surprising (for me it was):

You need to add id="YafHead" runat="server" to the tag
