Everything has been going fine, changed password, install from site as Host worked fine but then when visiting the installed page for the first time it says:

The Log shows this:

I'm not a programmer but this looks to me like a bug.

I always create the initial host account as 'Webmaster'. I set the 'Admin' user as the administrator of the forums. Is there some way to fix this?

Looks like it, strangly there is a check in Code that should take care of it

// Add new admin users to group
            if (!Roles.IsUserInRole(dnnUserInfo.Username, "Administrators"))
            {
                Roles.AddUserToRole(dnnUserInfo.Username, "Administrators");
            }

and i wasnt able to reproduce the error yet. Have to investigate on that...

It was a completely new install of DNN v5.6, no other modules added, and then the latest DNN-YAF installed.

Running on Windows Server 2003, IIS6, SQL Server 2008 Web.

What happen when you select the Webmaster as Admin in Install Wizard?

Do you want me to go through different clean installs with different account names/combinations and then try installing and setting up YAF?

I am Currently not sure if there is a problem in the logic. I think the error should be gone when you open the page the second thime

The Way i tested is..

1. Install Module as Host,

2. Run Yaf Installer choose a user as admin i tested with a dnn host or dnn admin user.

3. Open The new YAF Page as Host

P.S: Just a note all DNN Host User Accounts are also set as YAF Host Account, and All DNN Admin Users are YAF Admin Users

The problem that followed was the oldValue thing as I've seen others have had too. Just adding a Title to the page did the trick, though it was YAF v1.95.4140 and someone has said it was fixed in v1.95.1

Sure enough, the page that my module was on had been added with the "Common Tasks" panel in the ribbon bar, which sets a page name but not a title. When I gave the page a title, now the forum module appears!

I think this is resolved in the latest beta version of YAF / YAFforDNN.
