New At This (need Aspirin Lol)

**ENASNI TILLER** · February 2, 2005

I'm trying to set up a forum. Is there templates I can use here when I order my service? I like the design and ease of use on this one. Do I have to buy my domain name before hand or is it included in the silver package?

Please help

**TCH-Bruce** · February 2, 2005

Welcome to the forums. This is Invision and it is available on all plans offered here. It will be version 1.2 since that is what is bundled with cPanel. It comes with a default theme that looks similar to this. You can find other themes on different web sites.

The hosting plans do not include a domain name. That is a separate purchase and you can do that here or anywhere you like.

So when I purchase a plan I can choose wich style board I want or do I have to create it?

**TCH-Rob** · February 2, 2005

The one that comes with your account looks much like the one here. All you have to do is select it, tell it the name of the folder you want it in and click install.

Welcome to the forum.

After you buy a domain name

and sign up for hosting

pop over to the introductions forum

and say hello to your new family here

Meanwhile if you need any help, just ask.

Ok I got my domain name and paid for the silver plan for hosting. Do I download forum templates or how do I get a forum set up? Do I have to transfer my domain name somehow?

**TCH-Rob** · February 4, 2005

Log in to your cPanel. The directions are in your welcome letter (domain.com/cpanel). Go to add-on scripts and choose InvisionBoard. Follow the steps and you are done.

Just found out I miss spelled my domain name so everything is useless now :rolleyes:

**TCH-Don** · February 4, 2005

If you mean you have the wrong domain name, there is no way to change it, but to register the correct one, unless you can live with the one you have.

If its that bad, then I would just go and register the right one and let the bad one expire.

But if you mean you have the right domain name but did not spelled the name correctly when signing up for hosting, that is not a problem. Just open help ticket and explain it.

Tell them the current one and the new one. They will change your account to use the correct one.

I cant live with the domain name I purchased. I went to register the correct spelling and its not available. I will register a new domain name when I can think of one. Where do I submit a service ticket?

**TCH-Don** · February 4, 2005

Just click the help desk link at the top of this page.

Select Technical Support, and after you fill out all the fields,

you are prompted to read the faq, just click on submit at the bottom.

They will change your account to use the new domain.

Good luck in getting a nice domain name.

This is a dumb question but I cant find out were to log into my cpanel.

**ENASNI TILLER** · February 4, 2005

There are several different ways you can gain access to your cPanel. The first and most obvious is by going to yoursite.com/cPanel.

I did that and it says this page cannot be found.??

**marie b.** · February 4, 2005

It may seem like a silly question, but have you tried yoursite.com/Cpanel?

I've found that Cpanel is case sensitive, and wracked my brain for hours with my old host on how to access it until I tried an uppercase "C." :rolleyes:

The page cannot be found

The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

**ENASNI TILLER** · February 4, 2005

Can someone let me know when its set up?

Thanks, Curt

**TCH-Don** · February 4, 2005

Did you get a reply to your ticket to change the domain?

If so, you can goto the ticket link in the e-mail you received

after you opened a help ticket,

and select new ticket to ask about the account.

But if your account was changed to use the new domain name,

you should be able to log in www.yournewdomain.ext/cpanel

using the original user name and password from your welcome e-mail.

Also when you bought the new domain, did you goto the site where you bought the domain and login and change the nameservers to the ones in your welcome e-mail?

I never received a welcome email.

**TCH-Bruce** · February 4, 2005

If you used a hotmail or similar account check your spam and junk folders.

**TCH-Rob** · February 4, 2005

You have your welcome mail now and you need to change your name servers to those listed in it to resolve the issue.

**ENASNI TILLER** · February 4, 2005

Log in to your cPanel. The directions are in your welcome letter (domain.com/cpanel). Go to add-on scripts and choose InvisionBoard. Follow the steps and you are done.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I don't have option for "add-on scripts" the closest thing I have is "scripts library". I have a option for bulliten board but its a phpBB 2.0.11 Setup.

**TCH-Bruce** · February 4, 2005

If Invision is not displaying and that is the one you want to install, please open a help desk ticket and they will add it to your cPanel.

What site info should I include in the ticket?

**TCH-Bruce** · February 4, 2005

Your server number, your cpanel name and password and that you don't have Invision in your cPanel.

**TCH-Rob** · February 4, 2005

Your server number is 94 by the way, in case you cant see it in your cPanel.

**ENASNI TILLER** · February 5, 2005

Ok I installed invisionboard but when I type in my domain name it just goes to the page that says this domain is parked free etc... What am I doing wrong?

**TCH-Rob** · February 5, 2005

Did you change your name servers as requested in the ticket I replied to? If so, it will take a few hours before you can view it by name.

**TCH-Don** · February 5, 2005

When you bought your domain name

you should have received an e-mail with a link to log into and change your domain info.

look for change DNS

and put the TCH nameservers form your TCH welcome e-mail in there.

Below that you should have DNS3 and DNS4 listed in your welcome letter.

Go to this link and log in, you can modify your name servers there.

Im not sure exactly how to do that. I figured once I got the invision forum loaded it would show up when you went to the site? Any help for a noob

**dcumpian** · February 5, 2005

Your index page is the default web page that is loaded whenever a visitor goes to your web address. It typically is a web page named "index.htm". I'm not certain how to get your forum's main page to be your default web page, but I'm pretty sure that you'll have to redirect traffic to that page by editing your .htaccess file.

Regards,

Dan

**ENASNI TILLER** · February 5, 2005

I have no idea how to do that I ran out of aspirin so I'm going to give up for tonight. Maybe tomorrow someone can walk me through it from my cpanel. Right now when you visit the addy it just shows the index. I have no idea how to have it directed to the forum (wich I dont even know if it exists lol).
