    Yes, I'm a noob :p

    Anyway. I set up a site the other day, all went fine and dandy.

    Only problem is, I'm trying to set up a proxy now on a different hosting server, and I have competely forgotten how I did it last time :eek:

    It's using cPanel x3 I think. Anyway, I've made the FTP account, just can't remember how to make the actual website show.

    Rep will be given to useful answers :eek:

    Thanks,
    Simon

    No, the website is already made. I have all the files, the problem is putting them on my server to show up on my actual domain.
    I've done all the nameservers etc. Just can't remember the method once I'm actually in cPanel :eek:

    if you added the domain in Cpanel then upload the proxy website in the folder assigned to your domain name.

    i don't use Cpanel right now but, just connect using ftp program to your domain and upload the content, or connect using your main domain, user and password, will see a public folder and search inside for the name of your proxy domain.

    Just upload your file inside a public_html folder.

    cPanel by default has two directories: "www" and "public_html"

    They are the same directory. "www" simply points to "public_html"

    Uploading to either of these will place your website on the web.

    You will need some sort of default page such as index.html, index.php, etc depending on how Apache is configured on your server.
