I read through a few posts that appear related to other problems that I have come across so far and that has helped.  Now when try to open up the forums, I get the following for the default page:

<InstantForum:GlobalHeader runat="server"/>

  <InstantForum:WelcomeControl runat="server"/>

  <InstantForum:ForumGroups runat="server"/>

  <InstantForum:ForumStatistics runat="server"/>

  <InstantForum:ForumKey runat="server"/>

<InstantForum:GlobalFooter runat="server"/>

Hi Nimbulus,

It sounds like the .ASPX extension is not mapped within IIS. Are you running Windows 2003 Server ? Most services are disabled by default with this OS. You will need to enable ASP.NET for the pages to serve. Please let me know if this helps

I have asp.net turned on and the forum folder set up as a virtual directory.  I'm not sure what else to try now.

Any ideas?

Hi Nimbulus,

Is this a dedicated server ? I would be glad to take a look if you can create a terminal server account. If you cannot provide access please ensure the directory within IIS that hosts the application is a IIS web application and not just a virtual directory. When you visit the properties dialog within IIS for the directory within the application settings area ensure the application name textbox is enabled and also that the button align right of this reads remove and not create. If you can provide access that would be great i'm sure this is just a simple setting I would also like to check that your ASPX files are mapped to the aspnet_isapi.dll within the application mappings area. I look forward to your response,
