Andre,

Thanks for your quick response.  But I am sorry, I am not able to understand what you are describing.  Could you please elaborate?

I am concerned where the files would go.

Thanks

Andre E,

I did what you were describing above.  Clicked the icon in X5, I found the folder /public_html/mydomain.com.

But when you start to upload, it give this pop-up: "The selected server or destination folder does not match the website url. Do you want to set it now?  yes/no/cancel.

Then it highlights the URL and Destination folder.  (The URL is: https://mydomain.com)

If yes, it goes back to allow you to change your parameters. 

What happens then if I press 'No'?  Will it proceed to upload it to that folder? Or to what folder it will go?

Or if I leave the Destination Folder blank and proceed, where will the files go?

Anyone out there familier with using CPanel that had experience with this issue using WX5?

Most of the youtube videos shows just dragging the files into /public_html/mydomain.com folder.  

1. Can I do this?  and which files?

2. When updating, how would I know which files to drag?

Thanks all,  would really appreciate a solution.

Thanks Andreas S,  but I cannot go past the error.

Andreas S,

I tried it - still error.

Wanted to know - If I clicked 'No', will it proceed to upload?  And where will the files go?

Andreas,

Not able to take screenshot of #5 'Website export to internet' page.  I dont know why.

But I have described above what I get.  Please see my note to Andre posted 08-31 1747.

Thanks

Furthermore, the hosting company is wondering if there is an issue with the WX5.

I just tried having no destination file,  and it gave me the same error

I found where the problem is!!!

It is in my WX5 current version.

I used my older version = 10 pro, and was able to upload using the same connection parameters I have been trying on this current version.  It also worked in version 11 pro.

Could this be fixed immediately?

I have literally been back and forth with the Hosting company's tech everyday for several hours each day and would really appreciate if this can be corrected immediately.

Thanks

Hello Sam

You can safely click No and the software will upload the website anyway.

That being said, some specific functionalities might not work right, like the automatic highlight in the Menu Object of the current page.

Can you please attach here a screenshot of Step 5 for me to check? Feel free to remove the FTP data but leave the URL and Destination folder

I will provide advice then

Thank you

Stefano

Hello Stefano

Thanks for responding.

This is what happens.

I also mentioned above that when I tried this on V10 pro and V11 pro and uploaded some uncompleted projects, I did not get this pop up on all the uploads.  It just start uploading. 

Also, after uploading it by selecting 'No', this is what appears when I open the website.

I have to click the  domain to open up the site.

How do I eliminate this?

Thanks,

Sam

Andreas,

What is deleting the backslash supposed to do?

I tried it and it still does both described above.

did you try?

Website URL: https://www.yourdomain.com

destination folder: public_html

tick passive mode

Rio et al, 

Yes, I had already tried it as you suggested.

With the folder set just to: public_html, all of the uploaded files went to that folder combining with all the other files from cpanel.

Then if I upload other website projects into the same folder - what a mess will that be.

But if I upload it to: /public_html/mydomain.com, (which what I understand is the proper way to do it),  the problem is that when I open up the website, it gives me this: an index page - (please see my response to Stefano above).

Still looking for solutions.

Thanks

Hello Sam

You should NOT upload other projects into the same folder.

If you want to make sub-projects you should make sub-folders and upload the sub-projects to their sub-folders.

That is the way to do it.

In your mydomain-com you should have the project you want to be the project for your domain.

The sub-domain projects you can then have as full projects in the sub-domains and/or you can link to them from the "head" domain.

try again

for subfolder:

Hi John S et al,

Thanks, I am well aware of the importance of having specific folders for each projects.

In my post above, see the destination folder '1'.

But after upload and when you open the site, you get this: see  '2' below.

Please access callexch.com and you'll see what I mean.  You then have to click 'callexch.com' to enter site.  (I have uploaded a test site in that domain).

I am puzzled as to why it causes this.

I had purchased a Reseller Hosting package. which it included WHM and several Cpanels.

So in one Cpanel, I plan to upload several domains/websites.

And under /public_html/ have a folder for each domain.

The hosting company's tech support guy said that the reason that the 'index page' appears, is because you uploaded it to /public_html/callexch.com.  He said that if you just upload it to /publick_html/, you wont see that index page.

I tried what he suggested, and sure enough that 'index page' did not appear.  But I know better, as you said, each folder per project.

I can see that it will be ok if you are uploading only 1 project.

What is the proper way to do this?  So that you can have several websites managed under one cpanel and not have that 'index page' appear?

Thanks all

Ro,

Not clear, you want me to try your 1'st or 2nd?

Andreas,

No, I have not tried Filezilla.

With WX5, the export , I believe, should be sufficient.  But why am I getting this pop up below?

Stefano in an earlier post said to click 'no' and it should upload - I tried it and it uploaded.  But why does this pop up happen?  Why doesn't the file and url match?  This has not happened in my older pro versions.  

1.  Any explanation?  What setting is not being done correctly?

2.  What I am learning about uploading directly on cpanel, is by just simply 'dragging and dropping' it into your destination folder.  But where do I find the files in WX5?  Any instructions? And what about uploading updated files only?

Thanks

Andreas,

Could you please give me an example of matching url and target directory.

Thanks
