I had this forum module working before I even upgraded to 4.8.0.  Now I am at 4.8.2 and have the same issue others are reporting. Can you help asap please?

Here is the error log. I actually get two errors, one for the module and one for the page.

Matthias Schlomann wrote It looks somthin is brocken the Iupgradable in the DNN 4.8.0.  We are on looking about a solution. At time I can only recomand upgrade to the Forum 4.4.3 before upgrade to DNN 4.8.0.  Regards Matthias

That does not work for me. I get errors as I said in my post.  The specific error is

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'IX_Permission'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.Permission'. Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'IX_Permission'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.Permission'. The statement has been terminated.

Matthias Schlomann wrote joiseystud the answer is in the next post you have quote.

No matter how many times I try to run the script I get the error.  I just double checked and I am getting the same result.  I am not sure what you mean by "force the script".  I went under host pasted the code into the SQL section, and checked off "run as script" and got the error I posted.  Is there something else I should be doing?

Matthias Schlomann wrote Did you get this error on the first or 2nd try to force the script?
