jhndeere Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 Hello all. I’ve just joined TCH, new to the web site world, and in the process of migrating from my previous host to TCH. I’m able to connect via FTP and using cPanel, but there are 6 folders that start with _vti and I would like to know what are these for? Being a new I must admit it confuses me. I followed the destructions on other posts and placed all my web files and directories in the /public_html/ folder and when I go to the site 72.18.130.128 (having problems transferring domain name – another post) to make sure I’ve done it right I get a really nice error page that no website has been configured. Am I posting to the wrong directory, or am I not able to access via the IP address? Thanks in advance for your help. Jason Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 Welcome to the forums Jason Those are the Frontpage extensions folders. If you are not using Frontpage you can uninstall them through cPanel. Before your domain propogates you need to access the site with http://ip-number/~cpanelname per your welcome email. Quote

abinidi Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 Welcome to the fourms! Since your post is about uploading files, I'll take this opportunity to give my random bit of uploading advice for the day: the fastest way to upload files is to zip them on your local machine, upload the zipped file to the server, and then unzip them on the server. Anyway, don't be afraid to use the forums! We really DO like to help. Welcome to the TCH family!!! Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 While Paul is correct that zipping the files is the quickest way to put them on the server you should be aware that sometimes when you unzip on the server it will not replace files that currently exist. I only mention this because it's happened to me before. Thinking I uploaded some changes but they were not there. If you are putting the files up for the first time this is not a problem. Quote
TCH-Carl Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 Welcome to the forums. If you have further doubts, feel free to ask. I followed the destructions on other post Quote
jhndeere Posted April 8, 2006 Author Posted April 8, 2006 Thanks for your help! This forum is the main reason why I switched from present host. This is a great place for a newbie to start out at, and by the looks of it, a good place for the seasoned too. -Jason Quote
