Hello everyone, i need some serious help with installing YAF. im in a web design internship class at my high school, and i've been trying to install YAF for a little over a month. i keep following the instructions they give you, but no no avail.
http://forum.yetanotherforum.net/yaf_postst2438_Total-Newbie-Needs-Help-Installing-and-Setting-up.aspx but even that wont work.
here's my situation:
im on windows vista.
i have SQL server 2008 installed, IIS 7 installed, .net framework 3.5 installed.
my server is up and running locally i guess, i do have the inetpub/wwwroot folders on my C:drive
i also created my own database called yafdatabase in the SQL Server Management Studio application
i unzipped YAF-v1.9.1.8-FINAL-BIN to C:/inetpub/wwwroot/YAFFORUM
i went into IIS and right clicked those files to make it an application
Here's what i did:
i went into my files, and they told me to rename default.config to web.config.
then i opened up yafnet.config and deleted the value within connstr, and replaced it with
Driver={SQL Server Native Client 10.0};Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Uid=myUsername;Pwd=myPassword; like the instructions told me to do on yaf's info wiki.
i copied the files from the /bin folder from my unzipped files over to the /binn (thats how its spelled) on my server
i added
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\YAFFORUM to yafnet.config and web.config under the yafnet parameter.
then i tried running default.aspx in the install folder and no dice.
could someone provide a detailed how-to? and can someone explain to me in where do i put ? what should the value in between root look like?
thanks a bunch, guys!:)
