site and database upload

[ayomatt]

Can you kindly give me a chat or run through the uploading procedure (site and database) tks.

Login to your cpanel click "file manager" click public_html, then on top click upload, it will open in a different window, locate the files(your site) you want to upload (which you must put in zip folders) and upload them.
After uploading them unzip it in there. To do that tick the file and click "extract" on top of the file manager.

You can also use FTP software there are so many of them in internet just google them, download and install on your system.

To upload Database, you have to create it online first, still on your cpanel, move down and click mysql databases, when it opens, you in the field "New Database" put your database name, click create. It will create it then, click "go back", when it opens scrowdown to "MySQL Users Add New User" to add user and passeword detail. Click create user to create it, it will be created, the click "go back" under "Add User To Database" choose the user and database you added. And click add, when it opens, set permissions by ticking"ALL PRIVILEGES" and click make change, that is all, you created database account.

To upload your database in your local machine to this newly created account, go to phpmyadmin in your cpanel "home"  Under "Databeses", when it opens click on your newly created data base in your left handside. When it opens click import and use "Browse" icon to locate your database in your local machine (Note that you must have exported your Local database out of phpmyadmin) and upload to the database account, and click "GO" that is all, within few minutes all will be there.

under file manager...editing configuration php what will i write under
       public log_path=home/______/public_html/log
       public tmp_path=home/______/public_html/log

The setting will look exactly like this below in 1.7

public $log_path = '/home/yourusername/public_html/logs';
public $tmp_path = '/home/yourusername/public_html/tmp';


Replace "yourusername" with your account user name.

Ok, I'm through, your website is http://cooperatebrothers.com/ not http://coperatebrothers.com/

I have gone through your configuration.php and found out that the configuration.php you have been working with is different from  the one you created your website with, hance the challenge. Below is what you have been working with, compare that with the one inside your zip folder which is the one I uploaded for you, you will see the difference. Good news that your website is up and running now.
