I have tried multiple times to install YAF with the same result. I was able to get it to actually show me the error message by turning off the customer errors page. This is where I am stuck now:

I have installed YAF 1.9.3 on fresh server install. Fully patched with .NET 3.5 and the ASP version chosen to run the application on the site is the .NET 2.0. I followed the directions for install all the way through and I am getting the following error:


Configuration Error 
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Assembly Load Trace: The following information can be helpful to determine why the assembly 'System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' could not be loaded.

I am using the recommended web.config from the install with the only modification being the ability to see the detailed error messages.

You are not using the right web.config; you need to look in the configs folder for the 3.5 version, the tell tale tale is the version of System.Web.Extensions your web.config is looking for (it says 1.0).

"It's a case of RTFM.. the only problem being we don't have a manual!"

When I post FP:Mek in a topic, I'm leaving my footprint there so I can track it once I get into coding/supporting. (Yes I stole this off Ederon 🙂 )

Well, that got me past that error. Thx. But now I get the following error. I have a feeling that It has something to do with my connection string. Ive never had to make one myself (phpBB3 spoiled me)

Here is what I am getting now:

I was correct. It was the SQLConnection string. now that I have that working correctly, I get another error while setting up stating that the admin username and password are incorrect. I thought I was creating one during the installation.

EDIT: Ok, I got this fixed. Simple enough, password requires a few things.... like special characters, numbers, and a CAP letter.
