Hi there,

I recently enabled the Forum module on my DNN test site and am getting the following exceptions when trying to create a new forum. I was able to create a new group. Can anyone help?

This is DNN 04.08.04 and Forum 04.04.03. The module had not been installed, so I installed it and then starting trying it out and ran into the exception. I am able to make posts to the General forum that it comes with, just not able to add or edit forums.

Which physical folder specifically do you recommend I check the permissions on?
