Simple Newbie Question

[Lifeguard Sleeping]

Hello all!

i've just registered a domain and a hosting plan on *****.

i will be able to access the control panel tomorrow, right?

[Lianna]

As soon as you get your welcome email, which should be well within 24 hours of the account request. There will be instructions there for accessing the control panel by IP until the domain name is fully propogated. When the domain name prop completes, usually 24-72 hours from the time of signup, then you can access the control panel from your browser via http://******/cpanel (replacing "******" with, well, YOUR domain).

 

Welcome to SNH!

See how much work you make for me. Now I have to go out and find a new one.

[Lianna]

It's Turtle's fault! Don'tcha just LUV it?

 

I think we should have a contest and let US come up with your avatar!

[Lianna]

Ok! I will get the posting up in just a bit. I have a couple of client issues that I have to get worked out before close of business, so it will take a little while.

 

This is going to be fun!

great! this thread has turned into a contest!

well, if setting up a site on your servers is as easy as said, i'll surely have time to enter the competition.

[TCH-Don]

Bill do want your av with or without mountain dew?

[Lifeguard Sleeping]

[Lifeguard Sleeping]

thanks! so Horde it will be!

[Lifeguard Sleeping]

so far so good, everything works fine!

but how do i redirect my default address (www.****) to the index.htm page i created?

at present my default address gives me this:

 

"SNH Network Operations Center

 

Please refer to your welcome email for instructions on viewing your Web Site.

 

Thank You."

 

but i didn't find any instruction on the e-mail...

[Lianna]

Use the cPanel File Manager and look to see if you have:

index.htm

AND

index.html

 

If so, realize that they are two distinct and different files. One is the SNH welcome the other is probably your site's home page. Simply delete the SHN file.

 

Lianna

[TCH-Don]

If you uploaded an index.htm, but did not remove the original index.html,

then you will see the original page from SNH, the index.html (html take precedence over htm).

also be sure that you put your pages into the public_html folder

 

Files for public access (your website) must be

uploaded to the public_html directory.

[Lifeguard Sleeping]

thanks lstover and turtle!

i just deleted the index.html file and it's working!

 

damn, i'm thick!

[Lifeguard Sleeping]

which version of phpBB is used?

if i install it by ftp, should i create a folder called www.****\forums or put it in the public html folder?

[Lianna]

Let cPanel do all the work for you! phpBB is an option through the control panel. Just click it and follow the directions. Schmeazy.
