Cumulus Support

hello i have just registered on this forums because i saw many people are big help here. i downloaded cumulus and it works great but now i need to make website so i can send it online.

i have no HTML experience and have Registered a domain it also has web hosting with it.

i need to be given either a template or full tutorial on how to make the most BASIC website just so that i can look at my data from any ware in the world and also other forums.

please if i posted in wrong area tell me.

pacificblue03.

Cumulus comes with templates and full instructions for setting up a web site with no knowledge of HTML. See 'Creating a web site' in the help file, and this section in the wiki - http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Simple_Website_setup

yes i have a ftp tool but when i try to connect to my website it says incorrect password. also i dont know if im uploading right on my site.

i have gone through the wiki at least 50 times before registering here and now ive had it. it not working for me at all.

The wiki isn't going to help you get your password and/or server correct. You will have to get your web space provider to help you log in. They must have given you details for how to use your web space?

I guess the only way someone here might be able to help you to log in would be if they are using the same web space provider as you - who are you using?

I am using http://www.limedomains.com/

and Filezilla but it gets to password and says incorrect.

i am veryy new to this so i have no idea at all of all of this stuff sorry.

Have you used their control panel to create a web site and an ftp user?

i have made a website and a FTP user

username = pacificblue03
PW = [edited]
url BELOW
ftp://ballina-nsw-weather-from-stormboy.com/

see what ive done wrong cumulus is telling me connect timeout and error code 11004

hope this helps a bit

Edited by Steve to remove password!

You haven't quite set up your web space correctly. You have a folder called 'website' which contains the Cumulus files which should be in a folder called dbimages.

If you want your Cumulus site to be in the 'root' of your web site (and it looks like you do from what you've done so far), you need to change that folder to be called dbimages, and in the Cumulus internet setup put:

Host name: ballina-nsw-weather-from-stormboy.com
Directory: ballina-nsw-weather-from-stormboy.com
Username: pacificblue03
password: as you posted above

But now it seems you've changed things since I looked, so the above isn't quite right any more. But you should get the general idea. The host name and directory need to be as shown, you need to create the images and dbimages folder etc under the ballina-nsw-weather-from-stormboy.com folder.

ok so i delete the other files and re upload them in appropriate folders?

also what way would i type the directory?

will try this now.

steve.

have just re done things like you described can you please check ftp://ballina-nsw-weather-from-stormboy.com

and tell me what to do next

so far you are a life saver.

I would carefully check your details - it's all too easy to get one character wrong. I have found this - you can look at an error and not see it. For example my server (QiQ) has a slightly different format. It allows for setting up unlimited FTP accounts and I use separate ones for my PWS and webcam, for instance.

Server FTP settings.
FTP Server :- ftp.ginad.org.uk
FTP Username :- webcam@ginad.org.uk
PW :- *********
Subdirectory :- /public_html/weather/

In the FTP client (home PC) :- As above but the Directory goes from the subdirectory above, i.e. images. Thus, the directory where the images are going is /public_html/weather/images and the URL for this is http://ginad.org.uk/weather/images.

As another example, my main FTP account which I access manually (using FileZilla) for admin purposes and which gives me access to ALL my webspace (as opposed to the weather directory above) is :-

FTP Server :- ftp.ginad.org.uk
FTP Username :- gina@ginad.org.uk
PW :- *********
Subdirectory :- /public_html/

I hope these examples help to pinpoint your problem - FTP can be a bit tricky to set up and has to be exactly right.

yes im a bit stupid with all of this stuff so please see
