For the first time in my life i am going to host a website.It will be a article directory(technology related).I have registered a webhosting account with bounceweb.com.But 'cpanel' and a free article directory script(php) provided by articledashboard.com is bizzare for me. I have a ftp tool to upload the script but i dont know how and in which folder i will upload the script? Can anybody help me? As i am low budget poor student from india i cant hire a expert to do this .Thank you.
I need a little more info to answer your question completely. Is your site only going to be a article site or are the articles going to be just part of the content? Unzip the article file on your local computer. Keep the folder structure as it is. Then go to the docs folder and click on the readme.txt file. This has full instructions for installing the script. If you print and follow this list, do the steps in the order listed you should be up and running in no time. If your site is just going to be articles you should upload it to your public_html folder on the server. If articles are only going to be part of your content then you will need to create a new directory in your public_html folder and upload all the files there. Articles only will make for a more simple install.
Articledashboard can be a tricky installation since it uses Ioncube to protect its code. Make sure you don't have a copy of Articledashboard with encrypted Ioncube installation files. Sorry, not falling for the 'poor student' bullshit. Read through the instructions and you'll figure it out.
