No problem

Cool extension, thanks Tim! I used to use JustBlogIt

Both of those look very interesting. When I get some time I'll give them a try too. Thanks guys!

The backup file should be above the public_html folder.

While that may be true about the component you can still get an upload script working in PHP. There are several at www.hotscripts.com. Just be sure you are testing the types of files you will accept and make sure your permissions are set to allow uploads to be performed.

public_ftp should be empty. It was used at one time for anonymous FTP which is disabled. www and public_html are the same folder. One is a symbolic link to the other. It's what makes it possible to access your site with either yourTCHdomain.ext or www.yourTCHdomain.ext

Have you tried going into the public_html folder and bringing over the contents by selecting everything? Or one at a time? What you did should have worked.

You can transfer anything you want with FTP. It will take a lot longer and use more of your bandwidth. Doing a full backup also gets your email and your databases if you have any. Otherwise you would have to download backups of your databases using cPanel.

Well the simplest way would be to generate a Full Backup in cPanel and then use your FTP program to download the archive the Full Backup creates. Remember to delete the archive file from your web space after you FTP it to your computer. Otherwise the next time you generate a full backup it will also get included and just eat up your disk space.

You should also check the list of Plugins that work in Version 2.0 to be sure you don't get bit upgrading. You will want to upload and install any new versions of your Plugins and Themes. Check with the author of those Plugins and Themes for the updated versions.

I did a plugin check as they suggested before doing an upgrade and I use a couple that won't work with 2.0 so I will hold off upgrading for the moment.

Have you upgraded yet? Anything break? Thanks for the info

Your hdr block is only 60px high. Needs to be at least 160px. Also the page does not validate.

Winzip will also open .gz files.

You are linking to a file incorrectly. It should look something like this. ><img src="/images/image-name.ext" alt=""> This would display and image from an images folder inside your public_html folder. Case is important as the server is running Linux and not Windows.

I've ammended the first post in this thread with a security tip. SMF when installed sets the Attachments, Avatars, Packages, Smileys and Themes folder to 777 permissions. It also sets the Settings.php file to 777 permissions. You should change all of these to 755 permissions to keep your installation safe from attack (hacking).

Here is one of many CSS Rollover Turtorials that I found using a Google search.

You need to access this link and login with the name you created when purchasing the domain name. This is different from the hosting login information. But a quick check and your domain is pointing to the correct name servers already. You need to upload your content to your web space now. You can do that with an FTP client or by logging into cPanel and using the File Manager. Welcome to the forums!

Well the standard FTP port is 21. If you are using cPanel with the http:// it would be using port 2082 Accessing with https:// it would use port 2083

Please open a ticket with the help desk. They will help you resolve the issue.

A simple Google search for flash tutorial yeilded many results. A good place to start.
