there’s nothing like that on my root directory after I login using FileZilla. Or I need to give access to it in other to be able to access “ /var/www/html/your-domain-name.com” directory? If yes how do I go about it
Are you using Apache or Nginx?
Did you set up a virtual host?
Does the domain resolve on the web? What is the URL?
Why are you logging in as root? You should have set up a usr account and log in as that. Using root is just too dangerous.
What do you see in the FileZilla screen after you log in? Print it here if you can.
hello sir
i'm new to all this that is why and i was able to set up worpdress by watching youtube videos.. i'm using ubuntu with openlitespeed wordpress installation..whenever i login to filezilla using root the only thing that comes up is
root
- .cache
- .ssh
- .wp-cli
and my website url is 9animemkv.com
