Hi,

   I have installed the instant forum 3.4 on my local machine and is working good. but i am facing a problem as i have installed it on remote machine. they are as follows

1) The images donut appear until i choose a theme and update the forum with that theme. i.e. when the page is loaded first time the "navigation_arrow.gif" has the path http://www.answersme.com/forum/navigation_arrow.gif and it doesn't appear. but when i update the forum with a skin, the image starts to appear. The URL for the forum is http://answersme.com/forum. as you can see from the url the forum is placed in sun directory, so i placed the bin folder and the web.config file in the root directory to get the namespaces and web.config to work. some keys for the web.config file are as follows

<add key="InstantForum_AttachmentURL" value="http://answersme.com/forum/attachments/"/>

<!-- Full physical path to the attachments directory on your server -->

<add key="InstantForum_AttachmentPath" value="c:\hosting\webhost4life\member\thehosst\answersme\Forum\attachments\"/>

<!-- Fully qualified URL to the forums skin directory -->

<add key="InstantForum_SkinURL" value="http://answersme.com/forum/skins/"/>

<!-- Full physical path to the forum skins directory on your server -->

<add key="InstantForum_SkinPath" value="c:\hosting\webhost4life\member\thehosst\answersme\Forum\skins\">

<!-- Enter the directory name ofthe default forum skin for anonymous users

The directory names can befound within the directory specified in InstantForum_SkinPath above -->

<add key="InstantForum_DefaultSkin" value="Classic"/>

...

Please let know your thought, as this is very critical. Waiting for response.

Regards,
Faisal.

Any solution?

Did you guys install the forum to a subfolder in the remote server?

Dear shmuly,

I would like to suggest you to try adding the key below to your web.config:

<pages autoEventWireup="true" enableSessionState="true" enableViewState="true" enableViewStateMac="true" validateRequest="false" />

Yes, however this subfolder was virtual directory.  To do it without creating a virtual directory, you should integrate your own application with ours.  Basiclly, merge the web.config and global.asax.vb file contents and copy our dll files to the bin folder of the application root.
