forum set up problems

I used the web ftp process to my host. All seems fine except when I try to go to
the installer from my browser, my domain.org/cs_2007/web/installer , I get the
below message. I used a 1.0 version of this once before and had no problems.
does this app like mysql 4.x or 5.x? 
Server Error in '/' Application. 

Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom
error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error
from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed
by browsers running on the local server machine. 

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on
remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a
"web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the
current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its
"mode" attribute set to "Off".





<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>


Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error
page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's
<customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.





<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly"
defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Community Server will not work with mysql without extensive customization.  You
say you've used version 1.0 before - does that mean you're installing CS as an
ASP.NET 1.1 site - CS 2007 is an ASP.NET 2.0 app and will need to set up as one
- ask your host to do this for you if you're not sure.

Thanks for your help. I am hosting with asp ver 2.0 on the server like you
mentioned set up by the hoster. the old 1.0 ver is not running any more but was
a snap to set up. Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

Two things.  I noticed that you're running your site in a directory - is this
directory set up as it's own application in IIS.  If it isn't, CS won't run.

If that's not your problem, can you folow the instructions in the error message
then visit your site again.  You should get a similar looking error message but
one with details on the problem you're experiencing.
