Joomla! Discussion Forums

Has anyone used Joomlapack? I'm building a site on my computer using Localhost. I'm almost finished with building it. I have my database all setup on my computer, now I need to upload the joomla site I built along with the DB. Do I need to upload the folder with all the Joomla files? If that's the case how do I get the DB I created up on the Godaddy server to reflect what I have done and keep it in tacked? HELP!!!!!

if you have phpmyadmin download from http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/index.php
you can export a copy of the database then upload it to you host account db_backups directory.
open host account manager database > mysql select your database then click on the pencil icon next to it this will open a page with database info you will see a button marked restore click on it then select the sql file you uploaded then click ok it will take a few minutes to restore
you are waiting for it to restore edit configuration.php with the info listed for database.

thanks

Thanks for the PDF. I am wondering if I can follow the same steps mentioned to upload a site that I created on my local server. The instructions seem to be pointed towards a fresh install of Joomla!, am I reading this wrong?

When uploading a completed site to Godaddy, is there anything in particular that I should pay attention to?

Thank you

I need to know the same.

for completed sites make sure all files transfered and that you have the correct info for database and paths.

Thanks... I appreciate

Thanks for responding. Can you please elaborate on what you mean? After I transfer all my files up to GoDaddy, do I need to redo all my internal links?

Thanks for you help

I am sorry this was posted in the wrong area. Goodnight

Hello thanks for the tip. I followed your instuctions im using the go daddy unlimited shared hosting package. with 1.5.14. I installed joomla though the go daddys application page. Everything is working fine apart from when i login through www.mysite/administrator its redirecting me to my other site hosted on go daddys server. Im not sure whats going on. The steps i took was . Go into the config php file and removed (joomla) in my case it was (home). I have to sites with go daddy and whats happening is say for instance i log into my first website its redirecting me to the 2nd website. This is happening both ways when i login to either website. I will be really happy if you can help me with this. I was up till 4am trying to figure it out and still no luck. I now hava a clean server now i have just deleted everything and i going to start fresh. The problem is with godaddy is the first joomla installation works fine. (example) www.mysite.com . I removed the joomla root directory. But then when i try to install another one it says . There is already a path using this direcory. So then my only only option is to have something like www.mysite.com/home. I do not like this for a few reasons firstly because of the seo rankings and second its just really annoying trying to login to the backend of joomla. plus i have like over 100 domain names. so im running out of words to use . this means all my websites are going to be like www.mysite.com/home
www.mysite.com/joomla

PLEASE IF ANYONE HAS THE ANSWER TO MY QUESTION PLEASE HELP ME IM PULLING MY HAIR OUT HERE.

THANKS

Hi Twister86,

I take it you have two websites in the same server package through GoDaddy. Is that correct?

You say you have a lot of domain names, so this probably isn't a solution, but I thought I'd send this just in case because your issue sounded like it's a GoDaddy instead of Joomla.

Log into your GoDaddy account
Click: Hosting > My Hosting Account > Manage Account
Then click: Settings > Domain Management

Look at the domain you're having the issue with. Is the Domain Name you're having the problem with pointing to the right folder? If you have your second website in a subfolder of your first website, you need to point the second domain name to that subfolder.

If that doesn't help hopefully someone can post a reply that will help you out.

Thats really strange i have just figured it out right now. Lituraly just this second, thanks for your post. That was my problem. I must say go daddy was really helpfull towards me. Im still quite new to go daddy i was with 1&1 but i had to leave them because of my phone bill calling there 0871 number. Plus other issues like the language barrier. Go daddy was great they had my problem fixed in under 10 minutes and explained it to me in plain english which was great compard to 1&1 who have me on the phone for 3 hours then hang up. (very annoying) Im very impressed with the help from this forum and go daddy. I will definitely be using this forum again. Thanks

Ok so in my case heres what i did.

I went into domain management and clicked the little pencil icon, then changed this to
/domain1

Then for my second domain
/domain2

This will then create the folders you need on your server ..

Then go to your my applications and install joomla on the domain you wish to run joomla on. I think by default the field says (joomla) Just delete that. Leave it blank and the joomla install should work perfectly.

If anyone else has any problems with this just let me know and i will be happy to help.
The main thing to remember is to delete the field which says (joomla) But you must create folders first.
Thats how you end with urls like mysite.com/joomla/administrator

k4lch, I saw your post. Thank you again for your contributions to the forum.

I noticed in my php configuration file there was no $mod... variable listed.
should I manually place them?
I too am having problems after uploading the Joomla site to godaddy-- godaddy is not my choice , but joomlaPack rocks btw.
I chose the windows option and maybe shoulda went Linux ...
My simple rss feed reader shows "r-w" errors and I can't read zip files in my install/uninstall ....

anysight would be great

I'm a php newbie by the way

Question : does anyone know how to have multiple hosting accounts listed on Joomla?

Update:

BTW, I switched to linux hosting on godaddy everything works fine except a couple .gifs with bad pointing links in virtueMart - im working on that .

I also had to make a few corrections in the htaccess file ,like uncommenting the "rewrite" line" [this was mainly to get virtueMart to work correctly

T

I have experienced the same. Definately slower than other hosts i changed my host and it works better.

Have the same problem.
But does not have a chance to change the host.
