I've managed to create my forums yesterday.

Things I will need to take note of if I need to update it or reinstall it in the future. Update the following keys in web.config.

  • dbTimeZoneOffset - set to +8
  • siteName - set to name of site, not domain name
  • urlWebSite - set to http://domainname.etc
  • connectionString - set this to point to the proper value, such as workstation id=MACHINENAME;packet size=4096;user id=myuserid;data source=MACHINENAME;persist security info=True;initial catalog=DATABASENAME;password=mypassword

Files needed to be updated are those ending with .ascx. Need to show the proper forum names.

These forums are for my own business, so I'll require users to register before posting messages.
