nhlee Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I am trying to publish my website to the web using CuteSite Builder but it isn't working. Can't I publish from this program, or do I have it set up wrong? This is how I used to publish when I used ValueWeb as my host. I have tried setting CuteSite up the same way using my username and password for TCH but it doesn't publish. This is how I have CuteSite Builder set up: FTP Site Name: ourlilbear.com Web Site Address: ourlilbear.com FTP Host Address: ftp.ourlilbear.com FTP Host Port: 21 FTP User Name: I put my TCH user name here FTP Password: I put my TCH password here Default Filename: default.htm FTP Mode: passive Does anyone out there use CuteSite Builder? If so, have you been able to publish to web this way? Thank you for any help you can give me. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Hang tight, there are several users here that use CSB and will be along to offer you some help. Moving for organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Thomas Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Hi, Those settings looks correct for CSB. Have your site propagated yet? Otherwise you will need to use the ip-number mentioned in your welcome email instead of ftp.ourlilbear.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaJill Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 It would also help to tell us exactly what "isn't working". Are you getting any error messages? If so, what are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevevan Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 If the propagation hasn't happened yet, be patient. If it has and your still having problems, check out the links on this page. And like Lisa says, as much info as you can provide can help those with the knowledge solve the problem more quickly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Thomas Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I forgot to say... Make sure the ftp directory is set to public_html. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhlee Posted January 28, 2005 Author Share Posted January 28, 2005 Ok, I corrected my FTP directory and still can't publish. The error I get is: "Error connecting to FTP Server at ftp.ourlilbear.com" How do I know when name is proprogated? Thanks everyone.

LisaJill Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 You can put in the "ourlilbear.com" here in the first box (WHOIS Lookup). If it says that the servers are totalchoicehosting as opposed to secureserver - then it has atleast begun propogating. Just out of curiosity - you bought hosting here, did you actually go and re-delegate your domain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deverill Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 There's no way to tell for sure that it is completely done. The way it works, you may be able to get it and I can't or even from one try to the next it may work or not while it's "working". Check your welcome email and look for the IP address you can use temporarily to access your site. Welcome to the family! Just ask if you have any more questions - there are lots of your new brothers and sisters with great answers to all kinds or things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaJill Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I merged these topics since it's the same thing there is no need for a new topic. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Don Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Lee, you need to change your nameservers to point at totalchoicehosting see this post for the same problem. Then as Thomas says set your remote folder to public_html and the default page to index.html and you should be ok But if you want to publish before your domain name propagates to all the ISP name servers, you can set the Host ftp address to the ip address from your welcome email just the ip number don't add the user name after it, leave the user name where you have it. And the click the ip address link to your site in your welcome e-mail and you will see your site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhlee Posted January 29, 2005 Author Share Posted January 29, 2005 You guys are great! I have my website published to the web now. I was a little over anxious to get it up and running but now I have to finish designing my site! Actually I am putting this site up for my grandson and I wanted my son and daughter-in-law to be able to watch the website during the construction of it, thus the rush to get it published. I live in NH and they live in CT so the only way they can see how it is progressing is to go the website. Thank you all so much for your help!!!!!
