Your start page must be either:

 

index.php, index.htm or index.html

[miccadoin]

ok, thanks i'll try that

[miccadoin]

where do i find the start page , i have some index.htm, index.html and index.php files in my sohoadmin folder but i don't know if they're the start page

[surfcss]

Are you using a CMS (Content Management System)?

 

Try this:

 

http://yourdomain.com/install/

[1337]

Put all web pages in the /public_html folder. Any files outside of there cannot be seen.

 

And you need to create an index.(html/htm/php) file to have a start page on your site.

yer i'm using yohoadmin

do i need to put the index in public html aswell

All things you upload to public_html will be show after the first slash in the domain name. For instance, if something is in the folder /public_html/index/index.php, it will appear at domain.com/index/index.php.

ok, i fixed the index problem, but now when i go to ad a mySQL Database it says it makes it but i go to select it and nothing is there

 

 

 

 

any ideas???

[Ashoat]

The SQL service says that you have one database on your account: micca_sope1. Make sure you understand the distinction between databases and usernames.

[miccadoin]

yer i found that

 

is that my database??

 

i need to define my

 

-database

 

-dbusername

 

-dbpassword

 

and

 

default end user login

 

-username

 

-password

 

then i'm sweet

ok i worked out everything i just said.

 

 

but i click submit and get this error:

 

 

ERROR! - Unable to write config file.

Try setting permissions on the '/sohoadmin' directory to 777 (chmod -R a+rw sohoadmin).

 

 

i've gone into my filemanager and changed all of the config and sohoadmin files permissions to 777 but it still doesn't work.

[miccadoin]

is there a way to change all of the files in file manager at once (like select all)

[surfcss]

The filemanager didn't change my permissions correctly the last time I tried.

 

Use a program called SmartFTP. It works perfectly for uploading files and changing permissions.

[miccadoin]

how do i get this smartftp

 

 

???
