Okay folks for several weeks now i have developed what i think is a nice clean website for our fishing club and it is ready now to upload live.
I have created the site locally on my pc and intend on uploading to the web.
1st and foremost is my webhost is Servage and they provide an install script that i can load drupal directly in to the root or into a sub directory.
My main question is how do i do this. Yes I know there is plenty of information here about uploading and taking your site live however none i have found seems to relate to me.
I am basically confusing myself and my limited knowledge. Can i simply upload vis ftp into the Drupal directory on my webhost? or is ther another process that i have not seen.
Sorry if this is another of the common questions but a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated

Well, you'll need to
Well, you'll need to
1. simply upload all files (directories) to the internetdomain you desire. If you want drupal to start when someone visits www.huppeldepup.com, then make sure those files are in the directory the domain points to.
You should use some sort of FTP-program, i suggest Fireftp (extension for Firefox) of Filezilla
2. generate the drupal-database on your live site (generate database, log into database, choose "import" in the SQL-menu). Keep the password, username en name of database
3. adjust /sites/default/settings.php to make sure drupal can access the database, and adjust the base_url.
That should do it.

I am guessing that the error
I am guessing that the error is due to differing usernames/database servers from my local machine to live on my webhost. What changes can i make on my end. my webhost is yet to reply and i cannot change some details on their end due to security issues?
If you have already finished installed Drupal, this either means that the username and password information in your settings.php file is incorrect or that we can't connect to the MySQL database server. This could mean your hosting provider's database server is down.
The MySQL error was: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2).
Currently, the username is **** and the database server is localhost.
Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
Are you sure that the database server is running?
