Dear MunchieUse this as a last resort to your problem:First, upload a simple index.htm or index.html file (whichever your extension choosing) and see if that page comes up as a default page. For example, you make a simple index page that says, "it works". You type your www.yourdomain.com and that page shows up. You now at least know that your file directories are intact and works as i... read more.
Ok when I enter my website address '...ork.trap17.com' I get the page where it says Welcome to your hosting account. But instead of that I want it to be my forum index which means I have to had '/index.php' on the end. How can I get rid of that page and make it my forum index?
I have the index.php place in the public_html folder and have deleted all instances of index.html nearly 24 hours ago.
First off, you are not supposed to edit the public_html folder and its contents, it is linked to the www folder, in which you should delet the index.html, and then upload the index.php, or you can just make a redirect from index.html to forums/index.php or were ever your forum is located.
Notice from moonwitch:
I hate to do this, but this advice is wrong, the reason I have to put this here, is simply because it will confuse members.
Thought so but why is the welcome page still coming up when it shouldnt exist?
Hi munchie (I thought saying hi would be nice )
Anyways, just delete the index.html file in your public_html folder. And have your files uploaded, that's all you have to do. Just don't touch the permission of the public_html folder and whatever you do, don't touch the www link. Mainly because when you change that shortcut, your account can end up messed up. (Believe me, I once did that on my old school server and basically trashed their website LOL)
There is no htm im not using redirects, my index.php is located in main directory of public_html therefore copying to the www folder. Nothing will work.
well i somehow got rid of mine aint got a clue how but i kinda was messin bout with the files and i deleted all files in public_html and i just uploading my files now and seems to be gone yay
First, upload a simple index.htm or index.html file (whichever your extension choosing) and see if that page comes up as a default page. For example, you make a simple index page that says, "it works". You type your www.yourdomain.com and that page shows up. You now at least know that your file directories are intact and works as it should. If not, you may need TRAP17 to "reset" your directory.
*NOTE: as a UNIX based directory listing, whatever or wherever your index is located, the default directory ALWAYS is /public_html. Therefore your parent directory's (where you see /public_html) index file does not affect your webpage display.
Second, (again as a last resort) write a simple java script in your index.htm (.html) file redirecting to index.php. I understand that our server will support index.php as a default page (when no other index files are present--this is the key) but, again use this method as your last resort.
If you have question regarding redirect script, let me (us) know.
Ok, I want to host a video that I have in my computer, but the problem is that the video is too
big, 790MB. My host can't handle a file that huge so I was wondering if there is any way I can
make the video file in my computer smaller? I don't want to mess up the video and make it
smaller, I was wondering if I can keep the current 790MB video that I already have but copy only
about 10MB of the video into a new file that I can use for hosting. Anyone know?...
I've chosen to install WordPress manually and things were going well so far...until I hit an
installation error when I tried to run the install.php file on my browser. For the record, I
logged into CPanel and went into MySQL Databases, created the databases, the username and added the
user to the database - as suggested in the installation procedure. Perhaps there's a mistake in
my wp-config.php file that might've caused the error. If there's something I should change,
please let me know. Many thanks in advance. CODE // ** MySQL settings ** // de...
I tried to change the html for my site in file manager but it just has the default page - the one
when you activate your site. /sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' />
How do i change files?...
When I goto upload files using the file manager(legacy mode), the files do not upload correctly.
Every time I try to upload a file, it takes the time to upload it, but the file always comes out
being 0kb so it does not upload the file. Why is this happening?...
Hi there. I have been trying to upload a zip file only about 2mb to my account through CPanel.
First I tried uploading it to a new folder in public_ftp. Then i tried to put it in the main part
of public_ftp. I also tried the same thing in public_html. It shows the file being uploaded, and i
get 100 %, but alas, when i look in the folders nothing is there. Is there a restriction on .zip
files? I have had no problems as of yet uploading htm and html pages. Please let me know ASAP.
Thank you....
I can't delete a little file using file manager in Cpanel. I'm trying to delete a .png
image, actually, I'm trying to replace it. The response comes back as a success, but when I
reload my site it's still there. Then I go back to the file manager and go up a level, then back
and WOOP! There it is! I'm beyond frustrated here. What is going on?...

I know awhile back there was a question brought up about the /TMP folder taking up space, and if
anyone remembers that topic do you remember if TMP was an acronym for temporary, and can you safely
delete the contents in that folder? Right now I am cleaning out my hosting account and the files in
that folder are the only ones taking up space at the moment....
As the name implies, I think it would be a good idea to giving those who aren't really "mod
savvy" a chance to look at what phpBB's could look like with some regular mods installed. If
this thread is innappropriate I'll be glad to delete it away or rather, I give permission to
have it deleted if it isn't appropriate....

Alright, I figured out the edit html windows need to be refreshed each time opening them for them to
show the last updates so you don't just work off the old, un-updated version and mess everything
up (which really should get fixed). The problem that most annoys me though is when I try deleting
files and the File Manager doesn't delete them. I try uploading updated files over them and it
doesn't update them, but just keeps the old ones there. It's getting really annoying. And
when I try deleting stuff from the Trash Can, it never deletes it. Sometime...
First of all, thank you a lot for resolving the password issue. Today I encountered a new one once I
tried to upload a file using cpanel file manager - the window refreshed, but the "upload status"
frame remained unchanged, and the file did not appear on the list. What could be a reason for that?...
