Hello,
My hosting provider, HawkHost, offers RVSiteBuilder, Softaculous, and another similar tool.
I'm trying to create my own website and host my existing free WordPress blog, along with a gallery. Initially, I tried RVSiteBuilder, but I struggled with it and couldn't figure out how to add certain features or import my WordPress blog. Frustrated, I moved on to Softaculous.
I've decided to import my blog to my domain and use a WordPress theme that gives it the feel of a real artist's website instead of just a blog. However, I'm having trouble getting Softaculous to work properly as well.
Right now, when I visit my domain, it shows a default HawkHost page indicating that no files have been uploaded, along with options to log into my cPanel.
I accessed Softaculous in my cPanel and tried to install WordPress. The first time, I set the directory to "wp," which created a new WordPress installation. Unfortunately, this meant I couldn't import my old blog, and it was installed under mydomain.com/wp instead of directly on my domain. I managed to export/import my blog, but realized I was still seeing the HawkHost default page when typing just my domain.
After uninstalling the Softaculous WordPress app, I tried again and believed I successfully uploaded a new WordPress blog directly to my domain without the "/wp" suffix. However, it wouldn't let me import my old blog, saying files were already present. Whenever I typed my domain in a browser, I still saw the HawkHost page.
I've installed and uninstalled the app three or four times, but it never recognizes that I've uploaded anything. I even tried importing without clicking install first, but that resulted in an error message every time.
I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong? And why when I've installed the app does my domain not show as having anything loaded to it?
