Issues with Prosper + Hostgator (NOT MySQL error)
- SEO |
Before you shoot me for asking a question about something that was answered three months ago, I'm NOT getting the MySQL error that requires downloading a different functions-install.php file; in fact, if I were, that would make me happy because I would know what to do to fix it. I'm just having issues installing Prosper in the first place.
I have an account at Hostgator, and I follow the (somewhat lacking) instructions on the T202 site. Download the zip folder, extract it, and upload the contents to the server. I put the files in the "public_html" folder, go to my domain like it says to, and I just see an index. I try clicking on "/prosper_1.xx" and it gives an error. I've uploaded the files to literally every place I can think of...the root domain, public_html folder, public_ftp folder, "www" folder, I've created a sub-domain and uploaded it there... Nothing shows up and I still see the index page.
I like Hostgator, and I can't find any other hosting provider that has no contract and unlimited bandwidth and MySQL databases. Any help here? Is anyone else using Prosper with Hostgator successfully?

Edit: This has been resolved thanks to the awesome (and amazingly fast) support at Hostgator. Turns out I'm a newb and didn't have the files in the right directory. For those that might encounter this problem, I moved all the files to the main "public_html" folder instead of "public_html/prosper_1.xx" folder and it's working perfectly now, after I replaced the functions-install.php file, as is recommended on here and several other places.
