Hosting Activiation Not Working Help me please

[msdeeva 0]

I don't know what went wrong. I am trying to activate my hosting account and I followed the directions to the "t." I didn't press reload or anything, but the page finished loading, and stayed stuck on the processing page. I don't know what went wrong. I'm using firefox, but I don't know if that has anyting to do with it.Should I re-submit?Someone please help.Thanks

According to your group status you are HOSTED, which means your account should have been set. Try this link http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and enter your cPanel name (which you've entered when you went to process the activation) and the password you designated (again the password you entered when you started the process). Although you may not have received a confirmation, if you can access your cPanel you are all set. Here are some links you should know regarding your hosting with Xisto: cPanel: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ or yourdomain.com/cpanel FTP: 69.50.188.18 or ftp.your(sub)domain.com(net) FTP: username and password are the same cPanel username and password

Ok, so I saw on the instructions that it said I'd have to start all over and here's what it said:

Processing.. Please wait!. Do not hit RELOAD or BACK..Username Validated.
Connecting to Database...
Database Connection Established.
Validating username and password..
Username Validated.
Checking permissions..
Sorry! You are cannot signup for a hosting Package!

What do I do now?

Ok, thanks. I just saw that you posted that after I posted my reply. Thanks so much. I'll save the settings. I don't know why it didn't take me to the final page.

 

Thanks for your quick response.

Ok, now I'm having trouble with my outlook express configuration. Isn't it supposed to automatically configure it for me? If it's supposed to do that, it's just opening up an html of the reg configurations in firefox, and not doing anything to outlook. When I open up outlook it does have this wierd flash like it's trying to do something, but nothing changes. Then when I try to manually change it with the settings from the text file in firefox, it still doesn't work. Is this happening because I need to wait a few days for my domain to point to Xisto's servers? And if so, can I still use my previous hosts servers at the same time while I wait?

First of all, were you successfully accessed the cPanel?Second, does your cPanel say your domain is http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ or http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/? If you purchased a domain name and you registered as your domain name during your activation, you must wait until it properly propagates through out internet servers until anything can be associated. Remember to change from your domain nameserver to ns1.trap17.com and ns2.trap17.com. Usually it takes anywhere from 12~36 hours.

Oh, forgot to tell you that the cpanel worked. My domain shows up http://www.domain.com/ I guess, I have to wait as I first suspect. I changed my domain nameservers before I activated my hosting. I'll post again if it hasn't worked after two days.

 

My domain registrar allows you to add more than two nameservers. This might be a dumb question, but can I add nameservers from two different hosts, or do I just have to live with my site being down for the next couple of days?

 

BTW: thanks for all your support

Well I suppose there's no harm in adding two different hostings to one domain name. And if everything worked as accordingly, the nameserver will go down the list and connect to the hostings. But rest assure that Xisto hosting hardly ever goes down unless a full moon is up or someone decided to abuse the SQL connection... I'm kidding. You'll see that Xisto is up 99.98% of the time.Keep us updated -_-Edit: Oh in the mean time, if you upload all files you can view your webpage by typing 69.50.188.18/~yourCPANELname on the address bar.

OOhhh yeah. Thanks for the tip. I'll do that right after I add my other nameserver. I'm getting kind of antsy that my site is down right now.

 

Thanks

Ok, so I just nixed my other nameserver, and uploaded all my files, and it works like a dream

 

I'm so happy. Plus my site is flying at amazing speed. Wow. I'm in love.

 

Thanks so much to you and Xisto. Now I'm going to try my amateur skills at some of the optional modules.

 

Have you ever heard of Mambo Open Source. Is it a good content manager? Is it easy to use?

[BuffaloHelp 24]

I've seen one member using Mambo Open Source on the Xisto hosted page. But in my opinion it loads slower than anything else. I'm sure it's one of the best but when it loads slowly, I tend to go somewhere else ya know?Edit: This topic was resolved and thread is now closed. If you'd like to discuss different topic or continue discussing Mambo please post to Internet > Website discussion > Webdesigning tools and software discussion.
