Yes but even the free DNS thing does not work. As I said I created two of them both pointing to the same IP (my server's) and no joy. Maybe I should use another port? (I don't think so)

Edit:
BWT what's the wget option to get all the files from www.dvd-guides.com root? I think I have used it sometime but I can't find it, so I may remember wrong.

Ow, pardon me then.

wget –mirror –w 3 –p <a href='ftp://username:password@ftp.yourdomain.com' target='_blank'>ftp://username:password@ftp.yourdomain.com</a>

execute that in the directory that you want your site in.

and if you're in a hurry, remove the -w 3 bit, that way wget won't wait between file requests.

Thanks, gonna try this one.

I can't get these DNS servers to work, I think the best solution is suicide.
I'll send you a PM with my username/password to have a look in the DNS settings, even though I am pretty sure they are correct.

About the wget thing, it worked but it creates a folder named ftp.dvd-guides.com

I tried setting -p=/home/dvdguides/public_html/ but no joy!
Any ideas?

Sometimes I stuck him no reason.

For example I was typing mv *.* !!

And yes, I know the cd command!

Heh it wouldn't move directories on "*.*" case because dirs don't have a dot-file extension.

rather simple but alot of people miss it

OK because something went really bad in my old host (errmmm),

I lost my MySQL data. Now I have a .sql file that contains my forum's data (not the one you get by selection backup database from phpbb control panel, the one you get from phpmyadmin).

How can I recover the tables in MySQL and then install a new forum (the old one is gone) and make it use that database?

Install a fresh copy of phpbb on your new server,
goto phpmyadmin, drop all tables that begin with phpbb_,
use "SQL", upload your .sql file and have it recover everything,
edit config.php and see if everything is alright there,
should work now :)

OK, now my host is telling me that maybe my DNS is not in his registar's database and that's why they may not accepted. Does any of you have a "spare" domain so that we can have a try?

Afonic mate, for heaven's sake please go here;
<a href='http://www.namecheap.com/transfer.asp' target='_blank'>http://www.namecheap.com/transfer.asp</a>

fill all the forms, and end your "contract" with your current host once and for all

Yeah mate, I know it, I just have no credit card as the old one expired and I decided to get a new one that will come in something like 20 days.
I paid via bank wire in Serverpronto, but namecheap will not accept it.

Yesterday when I came home I was VERY drunk after the amazing Greece - France 1-0 and me going to the center of Salonica (under the white tower) to celebrate but when I came back (and as an original geek opened the PC) I thought I saw another post under mine.

I don't know what happened to it, but anyway I wanted to type thank you very much, but no. You already did enough I'll sort this out!

OK if you need to laugh a little bit listen to this:

After another day trying to solve the domain thing (I gave up and wait for my credit card to arrive - or I will try to make my father lend me his) I found out what happened and the MySQL data were lost.

What he was trying to do is out of the human mind, it's extraordinary, it's unbelieveably difficult. What this super-human was trying to do was to update MySQL. YES! He was trying to update MySQL to a new, updated and better version. I don't know what version he was running but he is sure very brave to try such a difficult thing and just lose MySQL data. I looked my MySQL book and it said: "Never update the MySQL version unless you know what you're doing or you have smoke too much (and we mean TOO much) weed". He certainly didn't know what he was doing....

I SALUTE him!
