Godaddy.com hosting problemo? - GoFuckYourself.com

OG LennyT · 05-08-2005, 10:05 PM

I setup a virtual acct with godaddy for a business-related site I want to develop, entrepreneurforums.net. They have a setup option for a webportal php page through geeklog. I set it up but the page resided at http://entrepreneurforums.net/geeklo...tml//index.php

I didnt want the portal to be within a directory called 'geeklog' so I said fuck it and went to install it myself.

I open PuTty and cannot telnet into the server.

fuck...

I emailed their cust. support and advised I need ssh access to install geeklog (per Geeklog's instruction)

They email me back the following:

I might be alright with ftp but it was advised to unpack the program via telnet (as winrar has corrupted the program before)

Seems lame, Webair gives me telnet, why cant godaddy?

Create a php file... you can have all of the shell access you want.
