Thanks Thomas

Welcome to the forums darthsparky

I would install SMF into another folder not your current forum folder. Then make a backup of your database and use it to convert so you do not destroy your existing forum.

Please open a ticket with the help desk and have them take a look. As for a different board that is more secure. None are secure unless you make them secure. Simple Machine Forums seems to be the one of choice most people running phpBB move to.

Version 2.0.5 did have some security related udpates in it. Not sure if that was the reason you were hacked or not but staying current is always a plus. You should open a ticket with the help desk and ask if they could check the logs.

What version of Wordpress are you running?

Glad it 's working for you.

You don't delete anything from your hard drive you delete the certificate from within the Netscape mail program. It should be under Security settings in your Options settings.

Don't know of any personally but a Google search yields plenty.

Yes, just open a ticket to the help desk (link above) and ask them to do the transfer for you. They will require some information from you to do the transfer.

You should have no problems between MySQL versions

Welcome to the forums skyofreason 1. phpadmin is included in cpanel 2. As long as your shoutbox does not require system daemons to be started you should have no issues 3. If your current host has cPanel the techs may be able to just transfer the site for you. The PHP version is 4.4.4 and MySQL is 4.1.x 4. I do not know the answer to this one, sorry. (but Andy did)

SPAMMER-BEWARE

Why not just white list the address for the mailing list. Spam Assassin will then just pass it through.

Many folks have asked how to remotely backup a single directory to a remote server. We have created a script that can be used to email (not recommended) or remote ftp a directory from your site to a remote server. Note: This script is designed to be run from a cron job. Not a browser. ><?php // +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ // | PHP Version 4 | // +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ // | Copyright © 2006 Bruce Richards / Andy Beckett | // | | // | Purpose: To backup a folder structure to a zip file and then FTP | // | the file to a remote server | // | | // | Requires: zip be installed on the server and that you are able | // | to use the passthru command of PHP, the TCH servers | // | do have zip installed and passthru can be used. | // | | // | WARNING: Depending on what you are backing up the files can be quite | // | large.

Don't forget this could create huge files and I could not get a 22MB file to email to GMail but smaller zip files emailed just fine. The FTP function works just fine with large files.

Welcome to the forum Jenny

Thanks for the info Thomas

Welcome to the forums Mike Sorry I missed that in my first response.

Maybe the article here will help. Basically a 301 redirect without the 301 part: >RewriteEngine on RewriteCond ^yoursite.com [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [L]

If you cannot access your webmail using yourdomain.ext/webmail you should be able to access it just fine with www.mail2web.com Hope that helps.

On a semi-dedicated server, no you would not be able to access that file. But you would be able to access it on a dedicated server.
