hey!!! how do you!, i have been walking arround in the develope environment that trap17 offers, it is great! but i still don't understand all the archives in there, what are .fantastico, .htpasswds, and some contents of that folders like _vti_bin, _vti_log, etc... Please someone tell me what are they, and how they work or at last a suggestion on how to begin.

thanks!

Fantastico is a set of PHP scripts that you can install from your control panel. Not exactly sure about the others, but they're probably for the running of the control panel in some form. The only folders you'll really need are the public_html or the www. The rest you probably shouldn't worry about.

then i can use www instead of public_html?

They are one in the same. When you click on www link from your cPanel it leads to public_html. It's a shortcut to public_html folder. www is a link. Nothing more.

and please somebody tell me the dns of my databases!

I don't understand your question...?!? The DNS of your database is your domain name of TRAP17 root directory. Could you clarify what you are trying to do?

I also don´t know what are that folders for... but I suppose they´re irrelevant unless you want to make a very sophisticated website. In fact, I only use www/public_html to upload my files. And mysql, of course.

Anyway it would be good to know what are vti_bin and _vti_log for.

No, no, no. He did not want to know what Fantastico is...he wanted to know what the folder .fantastico is. There is a period in there. He also wanted to know what the other folders are:


epox, I'm guessing that .htpasswds, after looking at it, contains folders that you don't want other people to see. For example, if you don't want people to see your /images/ directory, you would make a folder titled images inside the .htpasswds folder.

.fantastico contains several preinstalled scripts. You can go into Fantastico of your cpanel to install those scripts.

Yes, you can. I use go to www all the time, and it works.

If you need anything else, let me know.

Edit: Used a thumbnail instead of a huge image.

But wasn't that what I said?

Never mind - It would probably be best to just read a cPanel tutorial online so that you can grasp what the random folders are. My advice to you is that if you don't know what it is or what it does, you probably shouldn't mess with it too much because it could screw things up royally.

Not really. You just told him what Fantastico was (the one in cpanel). I told him about the one in File Manager. :-/

But yeah, read the documentation on cpanel if you want to know more.

   got my hosting approved. I have really enjoyed my time on the forum, all the support I have
   received from so many members, greeting new members as they join and introduce themselves, helping

   backup and that backup could be simply transferred via FTP to my new provider. The backup includes
   all my files and MySQL data, in other words, the whole web site. It is in a .tar.gz format. How do I
   get all this across? Do I 'unzip' the file and then transfer them bit by bi...
