[2.1.11] Forum authentication via OpenID (steam) goes FUBAR

giopaul

Since all of the users of my upcoming forum will have a steamaccount I wanted to make the access to the website only possible through Steam's OpenID authentication. Since Vanilla is cool and supports this by default I didn't have to go through the hell of creating a plugin for this myself. Now there's one problem: As I try to configure this, the website will respond with a 404 error.

I want to note that this is not just the case with this particular plugin. I get the same kind of 404 error when I try to use the built-in RSS feed plugin.

post your .htaccess file

and where is your forum folder located? root /forum /vanilla etc?

if you are using apache make sure it conforms to this:

Forum is in root. (wwwroot)

I don't have a .htaccess file since I'm using IIS8. I can however provide you with the web.config.

Maybe it helps to know that my "activities" page also results in a sadface.

You should really post under the plugin.

I wish it was just the plugin, since I would then just use something else. No, for some reason I can not select OpenID as the preferred authentication method. Once I select anything else other than "password" authentication the page will return a 404 error.

In reply to your RTFM-comment: Yes, I've done that. It's unfortunately completely unrelated to this issue.
