Help With Blogger.com

Hi!

 

Just set up a blog at Blogger.com but hosting it on my TCH account.

 

I have set it up, but for some reason the blog is not showing.

 

Can someone check my settings and tell me where I might have gone wrong?

The following are my settings (actual domain name changed)

 

FTP Server: ftp.mydomainname.com

Blog URL: http://www.mydomainname.com/polyphonicjourney/

FTP Path: /home/cpanelusername/www/public_html/

Blog Filename: index.html

 

When I publish the blog, it publishes successfully, but then when I "View Blog" it goes to an error 404 page.

 

Is it possible that I have the FTP Path wrong? In the setup notes they say it should be something like: /www/public_html/

When I emailed TCH support they said the FTP Path for my server is /home/cpanelusername

What should I have put?

 

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

If you want the actual URL to the blog, please PM me.

 

Thanks

Also, not sure if this helps. I didn't create the directory "polyphonicjourney" before I made the blog and I can't seem to find the directory on my server.

 

Should I create this directory in the public_html directory?

Ok.. I fixed it.

 

I did need to create the directory and I had the FTP path wrong.

It should have been: public_html/polyphonicjourney

 

Hope this info helps someone else!

I'm glad you were able to get it working!

 

The www and public_html directories are the same directory, as www is a link to the public_html directory. The '/home/cpanelusername' part of the server path is hidden from FTP, so you would normally omit that from an FTP path setting.

Thanks David.

 

Yeah I was a bit confused about the correct path... but got it figured out.

 

Hope you are doing great!
