I have DNN 4.8.4 installed and working using my host. Now I want to install YAF (latest version) and have it in DNN. I am just not clear on the steps and I am very new to use .NET and IIS. Been using Apache stuff for some time so this is new to me. Let me know if these are the steps I follow.

1. Install YAF and get it working in a subdirectory using the install directions provided.

2. Install and configure the DNN module?

Thanks

You need to use yaf dnn-module; not the standalone package.
so the steps are:

1. Install yaf dnn module (http://forum.yetanotherforum.net/yaf_postst4890_YAF-v1918-for-NET-v20-Dated3272008.aspx).
2. put the module on a page and configure it.
3. enjoy it 😉

ok I logged into DNN as a host, went to module definitions, selected install new module, browsed to the zip file and it uploaded everything.

I made the changes to the file but the name does not appear in the list of modules.

did I miss something?

You made change to what file? Web.config?
While installing - were there any messages?
Have you tried restarting the iis?

the web.config file I added those 2 lines. I think I forgot the definitions maybe that is why.

I added the connstr settings ot the dnnyafnet.config. I am assuming source is the SQL server name that is.

The install messages all said successful.

Have not restarted IIS yet.

as an FYI I am using a hosting service.

Well I am not allowed to restart IIS service. I am on a shared hosting plan.

Anything else I can try? I see the 2 lines that needed to be added and I added them to the web.config file the same way they are in the dnn.config file.

ok I think I have it isntalled somewhat correctly now.

I am adding it as a module and it starts with an installation wizard.

I click next for Step 1 and it says I should rename the Default.config file to web.config but that file doesn't exist.

Is there a certain procedure to follow when you get to the installation process when using the DNN module?

Thanks for your help.

Just saving web.config restarts it. 🙂
Older versions of dnn had a file upgrade.aspx that let anyone restart the web service just by re-saving iis.
I'm glad you solved it.
