Hi all,

I am looking for support in Drupal and Godaddy forums. For now I haven't found a post to answer my questions. So I'll post this one.

I have developed a website in my local machine. Now I want to uplaod and put it online in godaddy server.

These are the steps I took so far:
I bought a Linux host and install a Drupal apps into /drupal directory. Let say myWebsite.com/drupal.

I think this is my first error. When I go to my URL myWebsite.com it says is under construction and if I go to myWebsite.com/Drupal it shows a fresh Drupal instalation.

First question how can I solve this issues? I can't move the directory into my root directory. I can't delete drupal instalation and I don't know why.

This lead me to second question:
I don't have full permission to delete files?

The third question is:
When I try to edit my mySQL database with my user (ex: Mars) it gives me an error. The pass is not correct.

For the moment I would like to solve this questions and check if there is any further steps.

A last thing where can I found documentation in Drupal or Godaddy about how to install/upload a local website into godaddy server?

Regards.

The first and only thing I am going to say is that GoDaddy is a domain registrar and that their hosting is dismal at best. I suggest that you find a proper web hosting provider and your task of installing Drupal will be simplified.

Drupal.org does not endorse or recommend any hosting company. See the top paragraph.

And Godaddy hosting is the K-Mart and Wal-Mart of hosting - cheap. It's the get what you pay for principle.

No comment on Go Daddy (GD) ... here is the answer to you questions and are the basic steps regardless of who you host with.

1) export your local database
2) ZIP the entire contents of your local Drupal site
3) create a new, empty database on your host and import the exported file
4) FTP the ZIP of your local site to your host and extract it there
5) edit the settings.php to reflect the new database information
6) done :)

BTW, from within the File Manager of the GD Hosting Control Center, you DO have permissions to delete files and folders.

Cheers!
