  Re: Error message: authentication mode="Forms" _ Solved Reply Contact I'm not using IIS to serve my webpage but Visual studios built in proggie ASP.NET Development Server. How do I get the forum running within visual studio? ie not needing to put it on a webserver. I successfully did it within it's own solution. But when adding it to an already existing site. Putting the forum in a subfolder, copying all bins to the root bin and copying all the settings into root webcfg tho putting a location path="forum" tag around it's system.web part. Then it won't allow it to go passed the authentication mode="Forms" part. Same error message as this guy. Solution?! fiddle in IIS according to previous guy. But since I want this running in VS, how do I do that?

  Re: Error message: authentication mode="Forms" _ Solved Reply Contact Elrinth: How do I get the forum running within visual studio? Since this is an IIS forum, I have no idea.  What forum software are you trying to run?  The best place to get an answer would be on their support forum, don't you think?   Tom Kaminski IIS MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ http://blogs.iis.net/tomkmvp/ http://www.linkedin.com/pub/8/690/408 http://www.bluesrepublic.org/
