Thanks for replying. After some research i found that the install error relates to Ajax. I disabled ajax on the host and the problem went away and the forum is was installed ok.
Once installed I needed to run 'list' related sql fix as I had the following error going into the general settings page.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Modules.Forum.Settings.BindMemberNameTypes() at DotNetNuke.Modules.Forum.Settings.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)
But i continued to get the following error when trying to add a forum to a group.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Must specify valid information for parsing in the string. ---> System.ArgumentException: Must specify valid information for parsing in the string. at System.Enum.Parse(Type enumType, String value, Boolean ignoreCase) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Forum.ForumEdit.HandleForumBehavior() at DotNetNuke.Modules.Forum.ForumEdit.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)
It's another list related error because i have no list records for 'ForumBehavior'. Perhaps this could be added to the sql fix?
Thanks
Kevin
