I have just tried uploading my files to a directory for the first time.

 

I initially have my own personal page reg'd with 123 reg and now that site is up and running I understand how to upload etc and have no problems (once i got my head around it)

 

Coincidentally after purchasing my website I won a year of hosting with Ecowebdesign so I decided to use that for the website my friend wanted me to build her.

 

I designed a very basic home page to test I can upload it OK. I tried doing this and I get the error 404 again. I got this previously with my first site but got a friend to help and its fine now.

 

When I first uploaded to 123 reg the directory was blank. The directory with Eco has folders already there, one being a "public-html". This contained a index.html that displayed "welcome to your new website" in the browser untill I replaced it which I have.

 

The directory structure is as follows:

Directory/

.bash_logout

.bash_profile

.bashrc

.gtkrc

index.html (i have uploaded this to replace their original)

logs

rockitzine.css (my upload)

 

public_html/

 

Images/

(images I have uploaded)

 

I have no idea what all the bash files are for, or why there is the public html folder, i uploaded my index into that folder too but it made no difference. I thought it would be easy the second time round obviously not

 

Please help if you can

I suggest media 72 for a new server but anyway

 

 

erm... 1 sec I dont want you to think I am being mean when I ask this but have you tried the HELP file??

Have you updated your domain "nameservers" to point at your Ecowebdesign hosting account?

your files should be in the "public_html" folder.
