Helllo All, I have been having a very interesting problem this week with my site. I am in the process of building it and so I have been frequently overwriting the old version of files with the new versions. Most of the files are images for my portfolio and some are even html file. So, it uploads and cpanel says the old files were overwritten successfully. When, I go to my site to see if it is still working correctly it has been updated successfully. (I always make sure to clear my browsers history and temp files to make sure I see the new versions.) Well, my problem is that with in a few hours or even the next day, when I go to my site the old versions of the files are back and have overwritten the new versions. This is very frustrating. So, I tried uploading the new versions again, but this time I deleted the old files from the server first and emptied the trash can. Then I uploaded the new files and all was working again. But the next day, which was today, the old versions of my filles overwrote the new ones again. Also, I deleted some .avi files I was no longer using and some other files to clear up disk space and when I checked my site today, these files also magically reappeared on my webspace. Does anyone know what is happening to my site?? OR how to fix this issue??

I uploaded the file and have had no problems with it. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your patience, it appears that my forum is now working!!

Yup i am blind, I see where I go to create the db.

Ok, I must be blind. How do I create the database, once I am logged on to cpanel? I will go read those links you sent me now.

Hello, I am trying to setup phpbb and was wondering how you go about creating the Database. I am very new to this.

Hello, I am trying to install phpbb and I have a few questions. First, can anyone tell me what the database name and database server are. Or tell me where they are so I can eneter that data into the form. Also, to intall it is asking me for a database username and a database password. How can I obtain these? Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.

Thanks for the fast response, I will upload it this afternoon when I get home from running errands.

Hello, Thanks for the advice guys, I just pretend I dont see those other files. Now, I have another question. Do we have "shell access" for our site. I want to put up a forum of my own phpbb and in the instructions for installing it, it says that if you have shell access you can just upload the phpbb.zip and unzip it from the server. Otherwise I would have to unzip the files here at my computer and the upload all of them separately. Thanks

Hello. I just got my service up and was looking at the folders that are "preinstalled" on my webspace. I know that I need the public_html folder to store my pages in, but what do I need the following folders for: etc mail public_ftp <-- I think this may be to set up ftp accounts. tmp www I am asking this because I would like to delete all folders that I will not be using. I like to keep organized:) But dont want to delete something that is critical for my site to run. Also, what are the following files: shadow .htaccess.1054953771 .imapv4cp5c quota passwd Can I delete these also. I will not be using frontpage. Thanks for any help you vcan give me.
