I haven't tested it, but that should be fine: there just needs to be a script that's in the folder. If it decides to call something else, I don't think PunBB can stop it

Re: Edit Header.php to integrate PunBB in site layout (10 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
As the doc doesn't suggest (but I thought it did), you can add shortcuts (I think they're called symlinks in Linux?) to the files within that folder. That way, the file doesn't actually have to be within the folder
The alternative is simply to make a script that includes or requires the script you actually need

It's actually a problem on your end
I don't believe those are valid MySQL details (since I don't think that Rickard would have limited the amount of characters in a MySQL username). Go talk to your host and ask them what the valid details are

Board works fine, so why upgrade?
Because it's possible to hack your board, and you wouldn't want that
But i will do it if u are sure it will solve this PM function problem.
can i upgrade directly from 2.1.5 to 2.1 10?
1.2.5 - 1.2.10
And yes, either use the hdiff and manually change the files or replace the changed files and remod the board

Re: host unlimited forums from just one installation of punBB (5 replies, posted in Feature requests)
Everytime this has been done, it has been done poorly
Its been done twice by the same person, once they tried charging for the script and once they released it for free but demanded you pay $10 to remove their copyright from it (and it was full of security holes).
Someone else just did it as well, and they wanted to be paid for it too (still do, actually).
It's not very easy to do and in the end it's a lot of work to maintain an install like that: unless you can do it yourself (like Connor did) I bet it won't get done

Re: Repairing tables (4 replies, posted in Feature requests)
Connor basically dared me to write this 
The idea is basically to send the error and then repair the table in the background
//
// Display a simple error message
//
function error($message, $file, $line, $db_error = false)
{
global $pun_config;
// Set a default title if the script failed before $pun_config could be populated
if (empty($pun_config))
$pun_config['o_board_title'] = 'PunBB';
// Empty output buffer and stop buffering
@ob_end_clean();
// Add the Connection: close header
header("Connection: close");
// "Restart" output buffering if we are using ob_gzhandler (since the gzip header is already sent)
if (!empty($pun_config['o_gzip']) && extension_loaded('zlib') && (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], 'gzip') !== false || strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], 'deflate') !== false))
ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
else
ob_start();

$size = ob_get_length();

// Now, lets see if we need to run a repair
if ($db_error['error_no'] == 145)
{
We remove "Can't open file: '" and ".MYD'" and are left with the tablename
$table = substr($db_error['error_msg'], 18, strlen($db_error['error_msg']) - 23);
$GLOBALS['db']->query('REPAIR TABLE '.$table);
}
// If a database connection was established (before this error) we close it
if ($db_error)
$GLOBALS['db']->close();
exit;
}Completely untested and probably there's something very wrong with it (aside from my fun use of substr ) but that's how I see it working (in theory)
Edit: found one error: I'm pretty sure I'd have to use ob_flush before running the table repair
And I figured out why you get those ob_start errors when gzip is enabled: ob_end_clean() only removes one buffer (in most cases, the one for <pun_main> without gzip). Doing it again would ensure that the possibly gzipped ob_start was removed as well.
One issue with this would be: what if multiple people start running repair at once?

Well, this is all done via the internal directory structure of your site
So, if www.domain.com/forums/ is in /home/steve/www.domain.com/public_html/forums/
and my.domain.dom is in /home/steve/my.domain.com/public_html/
then for the PUN_ROOT you'd put either '/home/steve/www.domain.com/public_html/forums/' or '../../www.domain.com/public_html/forums/'
