publishing website EMERGENCY

[zaphodeist]

The Web Properties entry for sub folder might well look like this in that case ...



if not, try without /home

What Dreamhost is telling you, is that you have uploaded your files to the wrong place on their server, which means you only have to log into Dreamhost and move them. On the Dreamhost side, click on 'home' then click on 'dawnolivo' click on 'hlhas.com' and inside THAT directory, drag your website into there. We will see how you get on by checking your website!

Andymack, I see no "home" to click on. If I did, I wouldn't know what you mean my "drag your website into there". ok, I know you all want to beat your head agaisnt a wall everytine you read my posts and you're probably thinking "my lord, this woman needs to find another hobby", I don't blame you one bit. I"m about to give one of you my login info so you can do it for me..... ARG!

Look at what John has posted in the previous post to yours.

This is how you need to set up your Publish Settings (Website Properties > Publish). Add your FTP address, user name (provided by your web host) and then your password. It should work now.

Leave the files you have already published where they are. Maybe the tech people at your web host can delete them for you.

I tried it with subfolder /dawnolivo/hlhas.com/ and it gave me error message NO SUCH FILE OR DIRECTORY.

[Dolivo]

got the same message - NO SUCH FILE OR DIRECTORY - when I entered /home/dawnolivo/hlhas.com/

Try leaving out the first /

What would get you where you want to be is to call your web hosting company, open the Publish Properties menu, and have them tell you exactly what to place in each text box. You are very close. I can feel it. Honest.

Hi Egg, just to avoid any confusion your point #3 should be export to local computer, not publish

[Egg Bramhill]

Yes quite correct John. Noticed that after creation. So Dawn, 3 should be "Export Website" NOT "Publish your website"

[zaphodeist]

I could be wrong but it could be that Dolivo is getting confused by export/publish. I did at first ... export to me meant leaving the machine and sending to the host's machine. That's why I was wanting a view of her exported file in it's folder on her computer.
