I have just installed YAF on my machine.

I am having problems while going through the wizard i.e the URL localhost/install/

On the create forum form I'm getting this message in the form.

SMTP Server:

Set SMTP server settings in the mail.config file.

I've also checked the other posts but didnt help me much.

Am currently using this version 'YAF-v1.9.3-FINAL-BIN-NET20.zip' which I have downloaded and installed on my system.

My mail.config file reads:

And I'm using Framework 2.0.

Could you please guide me through this error as I'm not able to proceed further.

Thanks in advance.

It was related to the password. Password had to be a complex one with puntuation.

The smtp message was misleading.
