 Topic: Cannot publish websitePosted: Jun 08 2015 at 4:07am |

Hey, I bought the hosting for Dragonflamesmedia.com with GoDaddy due to OpenElement suggesting to do so. However, after designing the whole site, I try to publish it. My settings are:
OpenElement 1.49 R6 Preff. Server address: Dragonflamesmedia.com Username: (see notes) Password: *********** URL address: http://www.dragonflamesmedia.com Auto/port 21 Upload The username and password are the ones I use to log in, however, I read the instructions given in OE and contacted GoDaddy. They said the cPannel account is if I buy hosting from them, not just a domain When I hit publish, my chosen options are: The project Complete Post Export list There's one page that I am working on, so I unclick that option then hit submit At SendSyncFiles, it stops and claims that the Internet connection was lost, or the address is wrong or the FTP server is wrong or something's up with my firewall. I have been trying to find the answer everywhere. No dice. Oh and my program is french

Hi,
I don't understand the part "if I buy hosting from them, not just a domain". To be able to publish something, you need to by a hosting - bying a domain alone won't get you anywhere, except reserve it for future use (for when you by a hosting). I'ts like if you by a street address without loaning the apartment itself - you can't move in in this case. In general, it is easier to experiment with FileZilla until you find good parameters for FTP connection - then you can use the same parameters in OE. To publish with FileZilla, use Project->Export to folder. Good day D P.S. If you buy the hosting, choose Linux server, not Windows

P.S. GoDaddy is affiliated with openElement because it proved itself to be good and we receive a commission, but we have absolutely no influence on them and we cannot resolve technical issues on their end. However we will do our best to help you get it right.

P.P.S. Attention for uppercase letter in names (domain etc.), I think it should all be lower-case.
When you say your program is French, you mean openElement? You can change the language in the very top menu (one with small buttons), using the "gears" button in the middle.

You can try how many times you want but you'll be not able without a phisical space! Some friend of mine bolt a name domain and linked to a free space, so he has a complete web site without spending "lot of money", also if 30 euro/year is not a lot....

I think he did buy the hosting, the question is, why GoDaddy says he didn't..

You give me too much credit. I know ads and such kind of marketing. This is my first website. To paraphrase you, I will be putting a house on the lot.I guess in that scenario, OE is like the modular Home Hutt. |

Well. if he purchased something, he should have also a receipt. and with that show to GoDaddy they are wrong and ask to instantly enable the account. It could be some delay from bank's operation... but surely what is important is to have the receipt which is the only evidence of the done transaction

Apperantly I learned that hosting and making a website are two different things. I feel silly, but I am used to free websites, where you make and publish and get a domain... so I thought hosting was the making a website.
I bought the hosting, inserted the info and found another problem, So I got GoDaddy to check it out. There was an index.htm and index.html that was confusing the internet. taking the later out, I got my site published.

There are free hostings you can find, but their functionality is limited. You can even create your own "hosting" but let's say it is not an activity for fragile persons..
