hey everytime i try 2 access my site it says it aint open 2 the public please help

Same problem! no one can help us?

make sure your home page is called index.html with all lowercase lettering.

I'm encountering that as well, it seem no one is keen to help us

None of you have given us ANY information to allow us to help you.

The forum rules require you to post your url - it's the only way we know which sites to check.

Ok mine is http://eweb.uuuq.com

You've installed the files at http://eweb.uuuq.com/www/joomla/, which is why they're not showing up when you go to your sites root.

You need to install/configure it first, then it should work.

Hey swordz, could u guide me the step as how to go about it as i'm a noob in this area, i'm not even sure where the roots folder were..... lol, pls bear with me

Hello there!
Had the same problem, solution found!
cas you had a host http://eweb.uuuq.com registered by zymik. You uploaded files of joomla site to this host. You simply transfered www/ folder from your local host (your pc) to eweb.uuuq.com host and you're trying to open site. The problem is the site files are located not directly at eweb.uuuq.com folder, they are located at eweb.uuuq.com/www/joomla/ folder. So to open your site you need to type the address http://eweb.uuuq.com/www/joomla/, provided by swordz. If you want to see your site using direct link http://eweb.uuuq.com, you have to delete all files from host and upload root joomla files without www and joomla folder.
You can see my example http://namedrive.uuuq.com/antispy. I was too lazy and copied a full my folder antispy to host http://namedrive.uuuq.com, so now I need to type additional directory /antispy at the end of my link. All subfolders and files contained in antispy folder I need to copy directly.
Using http://eweb.uuuq.com/www/joomla/ link I could see errors, but that's another topic, PM me or ask directly, will try to help, had the same.
Enjoy

Tks for replying, but is kinda wierd, i've try couple of time trying to delete all the files from the host which i've uploaded but it just doesn't allow me to, meaning the files are still there though it did prompt me 1 files to delete? Previously i'm able to but dunno why all of a sudden it doesn't allow me to.

Lastly can u or anyone tell me where's the joomla root so i can upload directly....... btw i'm running window, incase u guys thought i'm running linux or stuff

Hi, try to create new web host account example.uuuq.com and upload there ONLY joomla files like administrator, cache, components.... and so on and so on, there are root joomla files and thats all, then you'll find your site using example.uuuq.com.

Should i create under localhost and upload it with joomla or basically just using ftp standalone or ftp inbuild with the host?

Ok.... what about the installation folder and install.php? Is that required? Cos we were ask to delete it once we setup the joomla CMS before hitting the site

Installation folder should be deleted when the site asks as for install.php dunnow I didn't delete it, because installation will start again and again. As for me i'm using virtual server at my desktop and i'm installing joomla at my PC, then simply transfer files to host. But some changes need to make in configuration.php

Hey dude, i follow ur instruction and upload everything fresh, at least now i've seem something when i type my url. But is having some error, hope u can assist me, would appreciate very much if i can get this site up, following are a print screen which i have capture





Oh yar and when i try proceeding by hitting next i got the following error

Oh yar btw i used to get the following error due to a failed file transfer wondering is it a restriction or security issue on our webhost

The issue would occur whether i'm uploading using ftp or through apache stuff like wammp stuff

Hi dude!
Seems to be had the same, but errors were at lines 92, 95 ...Ok. You should find the file session.php. Located libraries/joomla/session
Open this file using notepad or another (I'm using Notepad++) Find the lines 102, 105, 682
I suppose there should be such commands as
ini_set('session.save_handler', 'files');
ini_set('session.use_trans_sid', '0');
Maybe other. And you need to add before each command symbol @
Like this @ini_set('session.use_trans_sid', '0');
I suggest you download the file session.php then make changes and then upload it again to host instead old one. Then try to install joomla again.

Someone mention i might be due to was mention by someone in another forum

Btw could it be due to phpMyAdmin on localhost and remotehost? Or the configuration.php which i have yet to set or change anything yet

Cas, try follow my steps, it helped me. I guess nobody won't give any additional permissions for free.

So do i download the libraries/joomla/session from the webhost i've uploaded earlier on?

Ok i managed to loacte the session.php which i extract it into a folder on the desktop earlier on. But then the lines and commands are so many and are confusing..... i try and see how it goes



So ur opinion is to download from the file manager which i've uploaded earlier on instead of using the desktop copy?

So i just set all the ini with @? I'm not too sure what you mean by lines 102, 105, & 682

See screenshot. You need to use notepad2 or notepad++ soft, because default windows notepad is crap. It's free soft.Click to view attachment

Hey Schreier appreciate for your help, just a thought, i was told by someone after taking a look of my screen shot of the error i've attach and mention that our host server configuration has disable some PHP session functions and It is caused because a file is trying to use a PHP function. Am i right about that?

Hey, how come i can't find the line and between your screenshot have configuration php and session php whereas mine is only change log?? So do i need to log into configuration php or stuff like that?

Could i open the session.php from the original files and edit from there then next upload to the webhost and overwrite it? Cos i'm not too sure how to download the existing session.php from the file manager. I only knew how to upload it, lol
