I need basic coding help

[Moontides]

So, my first problem is is that I can't log into my Filezilla, or at least, it won't connect. It says everything is green and blue, and good, except my password. It won't accept my password. Or at least I think. It says PASS in blue and big, but then right after it says Login Authentication Failed, and "critical error", and "cannot connect to server". My password is right, I double checked it and redid it. It won't connect.

My third error, is that I don't know where the "public_html" file is located. I can't find it. And then, after that, how do I put those files into the "left box"?

Well the public_html folder should be easily visible to you once you log into your FTP account, unless your ftp is set up for another directory not in public_html. What do you see from the folders/files list after you sign into FTP? You may want to take a screenshot so we can help you further.

Public_html:

My country can't see tinypic links In filezilla you should be able to see this:

Also, are you using the correct host/user/password combination? It should be your FTP account

I think you misunderstood what I meant by public_html. It is a folder hosted on your website/server, it is where the files of mysidia adoptables are supposed to be uploaded to. Of course the script itself does not come with a public_html folder, since this folder is reserved for the root directory of your own server.

From the way your ftp looks, you did not enter the ftp host info correctly. I seriously doubt the ftp host is 000webhost.com, it should be something else. You can check this through cpanel's ftp accounts, or simply ask the support staff from 000webhost.

Okay, I just need to make sure I did this right, if that's okay? I took that and dragged it over to the right box into the public_html...

I didn't use the "upload" though, all I did was drag The Mysidia Adoptables folder over to the public_html folder.

Yes, looks like you are getting there. ^^

I'm on #14 of this tutorial. I found the "inc", but I can't find the config.php

http://i57.tinypic.com/zs5xl.png

^ this is my screen

 

[IntoRain]

I can't see the screenshot, but config.php is config_adopts.php, rename it to config.php

 

[Moontides]

Yes! That helps! Do I rename it on the web host or on Filezilla? (I did it on both--- hope that isn't bad)

My second issue, is that I'm on #18 now, and I'm confused. My domain? Do I need to make it on .10xhosting? Or is it already the one provided, http://carriedaway.comule.com/?

http://www.mysidiaadoptables.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1663 (just the link again to the tutorial)

It says open a new tab, but then in the next step it says "once you have successfully installed it". What? Where did it ever mention installing anything?

Oi, what do I do? (so many issues hhaa I'm sorry!)

 

[IntoRain]

The renamed file config.php has to be on your site's files, as long as it's there you can rename it where you want ^^

 

[Moontides]

Okay, thank you!
So...

You should have a link to your site, in whatever host you use. It seems your site with mysidia will be http://carriedaway.comule.com/Mysidia Adoptables v1.3.4 because you put the mysidia files inside a folder named Mysidia Adoptables v1.3.4 inside public_html. Rename the folder to something else you'd like? Or put the files outside that folder (directly inside public_html) to make it the root of your site (http://carriedaway.comule.com)

It says open a new tab at the /install page. Once you reach the /install page you will need to follow the steps through installation. In this case, your install page is http://carriedaway.comule.com/Mysidia Adoptables v1.3.4/install

 

[Moontides]

Is that the url people will have to type in to get to my site?

 

[IntoRain]

Yes (minus /install, that /install page will have to be deleted after installation), that's why I suggest changing the folder's name (from Mysidia Adoptables v.3.1.4 to something else) or copying the contents of that folder to directly inside public_html (makes it the root site)

 

[Moontides]

But I haven't made a host site for a domain yet... is the tutorial like put in backwards or something?

(I'm really unsure of how to do what you're saying.)

 

[IntoRain]

Isn't http://carriedaway.comule.com your site?

 

[Moontides]

Yes, that is my site. So would they type in that to just get to my site, or the Mysidia thing too?

And if it's only that, why would I rename the folder?

 

[IntoRain]

For example, think of public_html as the full link to your site http://carriedaway.comule.com. Any folder with mysidia files you put in public_html, for example Folder1, will be accessible like this http://carriedaway.comule.com/Folder1

In your case, you don't have anything in public_html, besides the folder Mysidia Adoptables v.1.3.4, so your users will have to go to http://carriedaway.comule.com/Mysidia Adoptables v.1.3.4 to access your site (once installed).

If you rename the folder to something else, your users will be able to use that link instead. To use http://carriedaway.comule.com (root) you need to copy the contents of the mysidia folder to public_html

 

[Moontides]

I thought I already did that... When I dragged them over and placed them into the public_html? If I haven't, how do I do that?
