ok now i browsed my domain and i go to: Index of / and it just has a link for 'adtracking'
I can't even set up a server on FileZilla
- Thread starter HalfPastGone
- Start date
trust me i've thought about that. my job/lifestyle is perfect for this though and i have plenty of time to learn.
i set up filezilla though and i transfered the 202 files, i think there is something with hostgator that i'm not understanding..
Welp, I'm retarded. When I installed 202 at first I thought I did it wrong so I deleted it and ended up deleting EVERYTHING. I had no hostgator interface at all :rofl:
i'm still failing. this is my last attempt before i go with the automated tracker
In my FileZilla, when I upload the prosper files, do I upload to the public_html area or just the general ".." area? I tried both and my tracking url still takes me to the host gator place holder. I've seriously put about 8 hours into figuring this out..
this is where i am:

this is where i am:
you must upload everything in your public_html directory (that's how it called on hostgator but, on other hosts/systems can be called htdocs, www or something else )
delete everyting from inside the public_html directory
create a file named index.html and put this into it
save it and upload it to the public_html directory
This is just a test, navigate to your domain:
If nothing shows up call hostgator and ask them to help you, otherwise if your browser says 'Hello' go back to the public_html directory, delete that file and upload your website ( prosper, simple files, wordpress, anything...)
only what's inside public_html can be accessed via http, all the rest is there but can't be reached using a web browser.
PS: you could have figured this out in 1 minute checking hostgator knowledge base, requesting support via chat or simply searching google.
Good luck
