Hi, new to YAF, trying to install to my localhost (http://localhost/store/forum/) but cant figure out where to put the dbconn string in the web.config. Anyone installed YAF and can help me out?

I grabbed the same configuration string from my root web.config...
<add key="DBConn" value="data source=JASONXP\SQLEXPRESS;initial catalog=store;user id=JASONXP\ASPNET;password=xxxxx;integrated security=SSPI;persist security info=True;packet size=4096" />
where exactly do I put this text?

<rewriter configSource="urlrewriter.config"/>

</configuration>

 

It should be in the <connectionStrings> element in the web. config file.

<connectionStrings>
<remove name="LocalSqlServer" />
<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=DBServerName;Integrated Security=false;Initial Catalog=DBName;User ID=DBLogin;Password=DBPassword" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>

Here's a link that discusses more about this element. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bf7sd233.aspx

 

Thx... Im getting this error now... from what I understand, authtication cannot be done at the root and sub dir, which is where i have both of my web.config... so whats the solution? I tried moving the below <authenication> tags (as is) from the sub to root web.config file but then it gave me an error saying cannot be more then 2 forms.
