Caution Dotcombuilder help please! asap +Rep

Hi guys,

Ive just subscribed to dotcombuilder and am having some problems using their ftp.
I really need some help asap, can anyone help me?

Basically when I go to install it asks for 1.Server, 2.Username, 3.Password, 4.Port (21)

Ive got past that and then it asks for a directry to install the files. This is where im stuck.
It says enter :

URL to Chosen Directory/Path:
(Note: NO trailing slash: / at the end.)
(E.g. http://www.mydomain.com/directory)

So ive entered http://www.mydomain.com/public_html (replacing mydomain with the actual domain)

but it comes up with an error saying :

Error: Verification of URL to Chosen Directory/Path failed. Please try again, make sure your URL is complete with domain + the directory/ies.


Can someone help me please. Either reply to this, PM me or add me to MSN : robandevermorerock@hotmail.com

asap please!

Many Thanks

Rob

Hi Rob,

http://www.mydomain.com/public_html is not a valid URL in your web space. You need to create a URL like http://www.mydomain.com/directory. The "public_html" is invisible to any URL -- it is a server path, not a usable part of your URL.

Any directory you create inside your "public_html" will become http://www.mydomain.com/yourdirectory

Thanks Gene,

Thats a big help. Ive uploaded the files to BlueHost now and dotcombuilder says to to to http://www.mydomain/admin but theres nothing there when I do.
Is there a certain folder I should be uploading the files to for them to show on my webpage?

Sorry if this sounds a bit amateur, I just need a bit of help on this first one.

Many thanks

Rob

Hmm, I don't know why that would be. If you upload to a folder, the files should be right where you put them. Unless the directory 'admin' is reserved by your host and can't be used by you. Try making a different directory.

Thanks for the reply again gene. The files did upload as I can see them in my file manager on BlueHost. I saved them to public_html/directory

So theyre in the directory folder which is in the public_html folder on my server. It might sound like a stupid question but how to I get them to show up on my domain?

---

When I type in www.mydomain.com/directory (where the files are) it comes up with this:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Unknown MySQL server host 'bluhost' (1) in /home/ratefoud/public_html/directory/connection.php on line 6
Cannot connect to the database.


Have I entered the wrong Host name? Should I contact BlueHost for the Host name?

try using localhost, that might be your problem.

Did you create the DB which it will connect to? Also you most likely need to edit that information in the config.php file or something along those lines.
