i had a domain before i got x10 and it made me turn my other one into a subdomain and my sub into a main. is there a way i can switch these around. main as of now that i want switched to sub talkforge.co.cc
sub as of now i want switched to main forgetalk.co.cc
thanks

You need to delete the sub from your cpanel (don't delete the files), then go to http://x10hosting.com/panel -> modify your account and change your current domain to the one you want. Then go back to cpanel and add the subdomain.

how do i delete it? where is it under and i take off my main right? then add the main i want. is that correct?

 

[garrettroyce]

subdomains are deleted in CPanel -> Domains -> Sub Domains
your main domain cannot be deleted, only changed here: http://x10hosting.com/panel.php?modifyaccount

I think you've got it

"he helped me out a bunch and he really puts an impact on the community!" your great. also do you know how to intall the newest phpbb? i could use help there too!

 

[garrettroyce]

Thank you much

Yeah, here's the file you want: http://www.ohloh.net/p/phpbb/download?filename=phpBB-3.0.4.tar.bz2

download it (don't unzip it!) then upload it to your site via CPanel -> file manager or FTP

Put it in the folder Public_Html

highlight it and press the extract button

Then you just need to go to yoursite.x10hosting.com and it will ask you a few questions.

The important part is the database. You will have to create the database in CPanel -> Mysql Databases. Call it whatever you want, probably phpbb or forum, something easy. Then, in the same tool, create a user, again name doesn't matter and a password. I recommend using the generate password button because it makes very secure passwords and you don't ever have to type in the password after installation. Copy the password. Then, add the user to the database, again in the same tool.

They're pretty much the same. File manager is less hassle, unless you have the FTP up and running already. Actually, I forgot the webdisk (use the webdisk tool in CPanel). That works like a regular folder on your computer.
Edit:
You need to be in file manager either way to extract the files, so might as well start with file manager.

 

[pixie613]

when you say your site do you mean
forgetalk.co.cc.x10hosting.com???

since my site is forgetalk.co.cc

 

[garrettroyce]

oh no, I forgot. Just forgetalk.co.cc
Edit:
It looks like either you haven't extracted the file yet, your files are in a sub folder (there should be files in public_html, not just another folder), or your files are not in public_html

 

[pixie613]

it doesnt say anything go to the web page and tell me if thats what its spossed to look like? forgetalk.co.cc

 

[garrettroyce]

Yep, you're in a sub folder: http://forgetalk.co.cc/phpBB3/install/index.php

Copy everything from phpBB3 to public_html.

 

[pixie613]

here tell me if this is right.


public_html


_private



_vti_bin


_vti_adm




_vti_aut





_vti_cnf



_vti_log



_vti_pvt



_vti_txt



cgi-bin

phpBB3

I think you got the folders, but you're missing the files.

public_html/phpBB3/index.php etc should be in public_html/index.php

 

[pixie613]

is there a way to take it off and start over because im lost dude
Edit:

public_html/phpBB3/index.php etc should be in public_html/index.php
