The "Root Directory"

[coastal2011]

Hi,

When I attempt to publish my site through Dreamweaver cs5, it asks to enter the "Root Directory". What would this be for x10hosting?

Thanks

When you log into your cpanel and then into your file manager. your root directory would be here

hope this helps

Sorry, but I am still confused...

I have entered "public_html" as the Root Directory when trying to get my website online through Dreamweaver. When I go to my website, it just shows the x10hosting default page. How can I change this so that it shows the content that I have designed in dreamweaver?

Thanks

does it show anywhere in your file manager that you have uploaded the files?

Try just typing / into the settings. If that doesn't work, second, try /public_html

Try deleting the current index file from your public_html and then upload your site again. Sometimes this solves this type of issue with new hosting accounts.

When I look under File Manager > public_html only my images have been uploaded...but none of the html sites

i would suggest just exporting them all , zip them and using file manager to upload the compressed file to your root. then use file manager to unarchive the zip file.

Try filezilla, might be easier for you. and delect everything in your Public_html and upload your new files. To do that just drag and drop your files into FileZilla.

This may have something to do with the way Dreamweaver itself works. I found a tutorial which may help some.
