Hi,

I've followed the Knowledge Base Server installation instructions to the point where I have an 'Addon Installer' section in the Control Panel.  However when I click 'Install Packages' within that section, I receive an error: "Oops something went wrong!".  I've tried viewing the Exceptions report in the Control Panel but even when I tick the 'Include Unhandled Exceptions' box it is still showing no errors.

Thanks.

Further to my last post, I discovered that exception logging is disabled by default in CS2007.  I've enabled it and here's the error I'm getting:

 Hi Jamie,

 The current version of Knowledge Base Server is written for CS2.1, and it looks like you're trying to install it to CS2007.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.  I wasn't aware KBS was written for an older version of Community Server, I don't think it's stated on your website or in any of the other documentation I've received.

Are there plans to release a CS2007-compatible version?  And is there a timescale available for this as the project I'm working on has an impending deadline? 

Thanks.

The next version we're working on will be a CS2008 version.

So the 2007 version is being skipped over to catch up with the current development cycle of CommunityServer.
