OSQA Not working on install

[jckelley Profile]

I'm attempting to install OSQA on Windows Server 2012 R2. After following the walkthrough, however, OSQA fails to work properly. It refers to a bad piece of code within wwwroot/<ProjectName>/osqa_project/fourm/markdownnext/mdx_settingsparser.py with the code

Code: Select all

for key, value in configs:

So obviously, I just commented that out. Except now it says it has a problem with :

Code: Select all

#for key,value in configs:

TyperError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

Which is crazy to me because it's commented out. On top of all of this, none of the CSS or JS seems to be loading properly.

Can anyone offer some advice?

Hello,

Please try installing OSQA into the root of the site not into the subfolder.
Create a separate site to do that.
And please report the results.

I get a 500 server error. The log shows the exact same problem.

Commenting out the __init__ function of the markdown page allows me to actually load the site, but now pressing any "Ask your question" buttons renders nothing.

It seems that your OSQA version is very out of date, and needs to be updated with several patches.

"It seems that your OSQA version is very out of date, and needs to be updated with several patches."
- there aren't many fresh posts on their official site: http://www.osqa.net/blog/
We have the version of march 2014, and I'm not sure there's a much newer one out there.
The product doesn't actually look as well-maintained and frequently updated.
