Apologies for the dumb question. I have setup an MVC forum on a server. Followed all the instructions in the install.pdf file but I cannot figure out how to run the setup. What command should I have after the location URL of the forum files.

I seem to be able to post here again, prior to creating the other post I kept getting the "You do not have permission to post on this forum" pop-up. So apologies for repeating what I wrote on the other post.
I removed the _my sql but I now get:
Server Error in '/' Application.
Runtime Error
Description: An exception occurred while processing your request. Additionally, another exception occurred while executing the custom error page for the first exception. The request has been terminated.
Here is my amended connection string:
<add name="SnitzConnectionString" connectionString="Server=10.1.1.218;uid=triplem_admindb;pwd=*****;Database=triplem_dotnetforum" providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" />
<add name="SnitzMemberShip" connectionString="Server=localhost;uid=USERNAME;pwd=PASSWORD;Database=snitz_database" providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" />
Is that OK?
Many thanks for your support as always

Sorry for delay in answering, been visiting my dad for a few days.

Did you remove the _mysql part of the name?

I was not able to reply yesterday because I kept getting the "You do not have permission to post on this forum" message (I think that is the text). I was logged in, I logged out and cleared the cookies, logged back in but still received the same message.

I have a copy of my classic asp forum database (MySQL) to allow the committee members to play with the new forum software without interfering with our present forum.
In web.config I have entered the database connection on this line - "<add name="SnitzConnectionString_Myslq" connectionString= ....".
Do I also have to add it on this line as well - "<add name="SnitzMemberShip_Myslq" connectionString= ....."?

Are you installing into a clean database or upgrading a previous forum?

I have reloaded another version of the forum and gone through the Installation notes again. Some progresssmile
I now get this message:- "The page isn’t redirecting properly, Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies."
I have been through the installation notes again very carefully and I believe there are no errors (it is very hard to proofread my own work!).
Any help greatly appreciated.

it needs to support .net 4.7.2 although 403 is not what I would expect if it didn't support .net sounds like some sort of folder or database permissions problem.

not sure why you get ' I do not have permission to post on this forum' this is not a restricted forum

Sadly the URL given to me by the server folks only gives me a 403 - Access denied message. I created an index.htm file in the root to test and it displays my text message correctly. I am wondering if the webspace I have been given does not run .net files correctly?
Another issue is as soon as I post this reply I get a message telling me I do not have permission to post on this forum?

nothing, it should redirect you to the setup automatically so just the url to your forum, for example here would be https://www.reddick.co.uk/mvc which should either redirect you to setup or upgrade depending on whether you have a previous forum in your database
