New Site, 404 Error

Post by Repoman »

I just bought the site thingy, and whenever I try going to it, I get a 404 error.
http://repo.site.nfoservers.com/
It keeps saying the requested url is not found on this server.

Im just curious as to why its not showing, because I can upload files and such to it through the FTP tool in Firefox. Im using this site for custom maps on my server.

Your domain is, by default, set on the "Domains" section of your control panel to put to the 'public' folder on the FTP of the site. It looks like you have the domain set that way still, but you deleted this folder from your FTP.

I would recommend adding this folder back to the FTP and placing and needed files in there. It is generally not a good idea to have a domain point to the root of your web hosting FTP.

Well I got it up again, but I cant exactly figure out how to view the maps online, or know if they would even download. I can upload the files, like I said, from the fireftp but I cant view them at all online, or even see the folders.

If you have the link working again, the best option is to use the "Websync" section of the game server control panel. This automatically sets up, configures, and copies files over to the web hosting for you. This only applies to game servers hosted by us, but it is literally one-click set up.
