If you go in to the GoDaddy installer, it should give you a link to visit the installation. Is it in a different folder (darrinhoudek.com/blog/)?
does your old site contain an index.html to run it?
If so, that is getting precedence over WPs index.php
You can delete/rename the index.html and should be fine
To rjmastey: No there is no different folder.
Rev: My old site does in fact have an index.html
just rename it to old_index.html or something….
Best thing really is to remove all old files if you won’t be using that site anymore, or plop them in their own folder or something
OK gonna try this….I hope the whole thing doesnt fall apart 🙂 One more question tho, when you say plop them in a new folder, am I able to do that right in the GoDaddy Control Center do you know?
yeah, from the file manager.
You can make a new folder in there, called somethink like old_site
The option is on the top left in the fiole manager
then select the files to do with your old site, and select ‘Move’ from the top, and then select the old_site folder from the left to move them there
Careful you don’t move any WP files
You can pretty much do anything you need in the godaddy file manager, I’ve never needed ftp software or anything. I upload, download, and edit right in godaddy’s file manager
Sweet, thanks for the tips. Will try
Hey that worked thanks. Now time to start getting dirty with the theme.
Thanks again,
yup…. it’s easy to back things up to a different folder on godaddy too, by copying files.
I’d recommend you do that if you are going to edit themes. Copy it to another folder before messing with it in case you break anything
Also, godaddy has a history tab in the file manager, which allows you to roll files back if you wreck anything. I use it a lot…. I break websites!!
