Sorry, I didnt get it... Do you mean to say that I should download the zip file of punbb 1.4.2 again and copy its content to my forum folder?

Are you sure that are using version 1.4.2?
Please show #193-206 lines from a file include/common_admin.php

sad.. There are only 188 lines in common_admin.php... The last line is ($hook = get_hook('ca_new_function')) ? eval($hook) : null;

I used dreamweaver 8 as  the editor to view and open this file...

I  think the version is 1.4.2... Following is a copy/paste of my Administrator Panel

My forum is continuously pounded by fake IDs and spam posts because I have not incorporated e-mail verification in the registration process.... Now I wish to include the same to raise the barrier for spammers... I checked the option "Verify Registration" in the Registration Tab....

Then it gives some SMTP related error which I forgot to note down... it was about smtp, port 25, set_ini() something.... (Sorry will post the exact error message, if required, cos now when I am trying to recreate the error, it says that I cant attempt to register for next one hour...!!)

Anyway, I dont have a SMTP server running on my PC and I dont think I'll run one.... I wish to use my existing gmail account to send the verification link to new users....

Can you please help me set up the entire thing from scratch...!! Sorry, but I really have no idea about php scripting and all.... So I would really need some basic help in setting it up...

Thanks and regards

I am running a PunBB forum from my Root Directory (C:\Program Files\Webserver\htdocs\Forum).... The forum is working well.... At the time of installing this forum, I had created a blank database named 'blank' using phpmyadmin... so far so good....

Now, I wish to run one more forum of similar type... (My webserver supports virtual hosting so am able to have two domain names mapped to my IP)... I am able to operate this second website.... But the root directory of this second website is E:\Website_directory\index.html

Now, I created another blank database named 'simran' and copied the entire Forum directory (of my already working forum) in this new directory from where I intend to run my second forum.... After copying the entire Forum Directory, I changed the config.php as follows: $db_name = 'simran'...

Now when I type www.mydomainname.com/forum/index.php, all I am getting is a file listing of all the files present in the forum directory.... Sample is reproduced below:

Dear All,
I am currently running PunBB Forum on my Windows XP SP3 but my PC hardware is old and I am contemplating to upgrade it with new PC.... The problem is that all the new PCs come with default Windows 7 OS..... Can anyone please confirm, if my forum can be run on Windows 7 also exactly the way it does on Windows XP SP3....??

au revoir
Rahul
