stacey171 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Hello, I have my test site all finished and I want it to go live. I have set up my hosting with my web hosting company. I tried uploading all the files using Dreamweaver, but it did not seem to work. What do I need to do to go live? Please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Hello stacey171, it is possible that the files did not transfer correctly. Are you sure you are using the correct credentials to connect to your hosting provider? Dreamweaver should definitely work but also you may want to try Filezilla.

benjamin utterback Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Where did you upload the files to? That is the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacey171 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 I uploaded it to my server in the public folder. That is how I have done it for all my other sites. And I tested the server and it worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjamin utterback Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 When you look at the public folder, you see all the files you uploaded, or are they not there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjamin utterback Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 What are the permissions for your folders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacey171 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 What permissions for my folders? How do I find that out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Actually, from Dreamweaver you cannot view permissions (I think) I know you can easily view and change permissions from Filezilla. Maybe you should try that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacey171 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 I just uploaded everything through Filezilla and checked the permissions. Everything looks good. Any other suggestions? Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
