Installing Provider

I was having problems installing a clean version of DNN 040800 and thought it was at first maybe the installer wizard. I come to find out that the error i will post later happens when i actually add the AD Provider 1.0.0. Initially i had chosen to select it with a custom install. The site never even comes up. When i do a typical, it works just fine. I add the provider and same problem.

Server Error in '/Intranet' Application.

Re: Installing Provider

When you installed the provider did it show any errors or did this error show up immediately?

Re: Installing Provider

It didnt show up immediately. It showed that the provider had succesfully installed. I got the error as soon as I clicked return.

I was just able to at least get the site working again by commenting out in web.config the last key:

Re: Installing Provider

I just did a test on a 4.8 install and go the same error. I'll have to do some debugging and pass on the info to the Core Team.

Re: Installing Provider

I think I've found what's causing the problem and have logged it in Gemini http://support.dotnetnuke.com/Default.aspx?p=23&i=6901. However this means that you can't use the AD Provider with DNN 4.8.0.
