    <p>I have an intermittent issue with Yet Another Forum.NET where the forums just go down. It's usually at least a week between occurrences, usually more. The last for the site happened 30th April, then just again 29th May (quite a big gap this time, maybe due to me proactively restarting the website in order to avoid occurrences while I'm away and offline and so unable to fix the issue immediately). The issue always goes away when the website is restarted.</p> <p>I'm running YAF 1.9.6.1 and the error I get is:</p> <pre><code>Server Error in '/' Application. Configuration Error Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately. Parser Error Message: Thread was being aborted. Source Error: Line 157: &lt;providers&gt; Line 158: &lt;clear /&gt; Line 159: &lt;add connectionStringName="yafnet" applicationName="YetAnotherForum" name="YafMembershipProvider" requiresUniqueEmail="true" useSalt="true" type="YAF.Providers.Membership.YafMembershipProvider" /&gt; Line 160: &lt;/providers&gt; Line 161: &lt;/membership&gt; Source File: D:\Inetpub\ftproot\MW\paydirt\www.paydirt.co.nz\web.config Line: 159 Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.0.30319.272 </code></pre> <p>In case it has any bearing...</p> <ul> <li>The YAF forum is side-by-side within the same site as a <a href="http://www.composite.net/" rel="nofollow">Composite C1 CMS</a> based site - <a href="http://www.paydirt.co.nz" rel="nofollow">www.paydirt.co.nz</a>.</li> <li>The main CMS based site never goes down, only the YAF forum pages (in fact I use the CMS's "Restart Server" tool to bring the forums back up).</li> <li>The site is on a shared hosting plan, the exact server setup details I'm unaware of but IIS 6 is used and I suspect some sort of server farm.</li> <li>There sees to be a time component involved as it always happens quite sometime after a website restart. So I've been proactively restarting the website to stall the issue.</li> </ul> <p>I'd be grateful to hear any advice / ideas about what might be causing this as it's been going on for quite some time now. The forums have a nasty habit of mainly going down when I'm away for a weekend and offline.</p> <p>Thanks in advance for any help, Gavin</p>
