Please Help Me Figure Out How To Edit An Exsisting - php file in a site? And how to add a...

GM-University
I am trying to install a mod on my forums, but I have to edit some of the exsisting files first, how would I go about doing this? I also need to add some files to exsisting directories, I am not sure how to do any of this either, can someone explain this to me, say where to go in the CPanel too, I am trying this for the first time...

hmm... well, I'm going to assume that you're installing a phpBB or similar kind of forum modification. Whenever you install mods, it should usually come with an instruction or readme file. simply follow those instructions and you should be ready to go. If you're not sure about what files you should edit, you should email the creator of the script. Also, you will usually edit a file in the public_html directory of your cpanel screen. go to the file manager, and click public_html , then click the name of the folder that holds your forum.

if you give me more specs on what kind of forum and what kind of mod that you are using I can help you more.

You can also use an FTP client and edit the files.

The Cpanel is on :
http://yourname.trap17.com/cpanel
then Log your user & ps.
To edit the file or upload
Click File manager

    to add content on the site(joomla), and the page times out and everything gets lost and I have to
    start over again. It is hard to have a community when the site is never working. When is my site
    going to come right? And why all the down time? I noticed that in server status the ...
