Starting up on the site

Hi there,
I have been using another free host to house my tennis League web site - but heard about this one and I must say I am impressed.

I was attracted by the availability of phpmail() and the software seems excellent.... however, I am having difficulty getting started!

I have jumped through all of the hoops, registering and creating the FTP accounts etc - I think!
I uploaded a file 'index.htm' to the public_html directory - but it doesn't show when I try to access it at nkelsey.x10.mx/index.htm

Similarly, I tried using CuteFTP and entered allo f the information given when registering but I get:-
STATUS [4/19/2011 3:16:20 PM] Getting listing "nkelsey.x10.mx/home/****/public_html"...
STATUS [4/19/2011 3:16:20 PM] Resolving host name ftp.nkelsey.x10.mx...
STATUS [4/19/2011 3:16:20 PM] Host name ftp.nkelsey.x10.mx resolved: ip = 184.154.159.10.
STATUS [4/19/2011 3:16:20 PM] Connecting to FTP server... ftp.nkelsey.x10.mx:21 (ip = 184.154.159.10)...
STATUS [4/19/2011 3:16:20 PM] Socket connected. Waiting for welcome message...
ERROR [4/19/2011 3:16:41 PM] Can't read from control socket. Socket error = #10054.

The account doesn't seem to be live.... If that is so... how do I make it live... and do I have to enable phpmail()? I can't seem to find any reference to it in the cpanel.

thanks in anticipation.

Allan

Interesting I now see a problem with the host:-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank You for installing cPanel / WHM.
This server is currently not licensed. Please contact the server administrator. Other services available on this server such as web services are likely functioning normally. (Cannot read license file)
Once the license on this server is active, you will no longer see this message. If you have installed a license since loading this page, click here to reload.

Can now gain access to the cPanel and the above message does not appear - but still cannot access the index.htm file that I uploaded to public_html:-

nkelsey.x10.mx/index.htm

HI there,

Pleased to say that the problem is now resolved. It was a server issue and all of the settings that I had in CuteFTP now work.

At first glance the site works quickly and like silk!

thanks again - looking forward to delving further!

regards,

Allan Thompson
