Hey guys,

I am not a website designer, nor do I have any experience in doing so. I know nothing about flash, php and the like. So I googled flash website design software and stumbled upon auroraflash.org and gave it a try. Very easy to change the templates as they are just uploaded into the program, and then you can modify the site.

Whats been happening is, as soon as I try and upload it to my site through afrihost, it gets to a certain point and then says error: cannot create folder.

When I upload through filezilla, it transfers the file, but nothing changes on the site. Aurora saves the template as one file, and not the usual list of files associated with a website. However, when uploading, it transfers a whole bunch of files. But like I said, it stops and I get the error messages.

I have also downloaded another template that comes as a list of website files, instead of the .afp file that the program saves your work as, but again, it also fails to create that folder.

here is a snapshot of the error:

any idea whats happening here?
Also, if anyone knows of a damn easy program I can use to design via drag and drop and then upload onto my site, please let me know.
 
Are you publishing to the public_html folder ?

Also cpanel hosted accounts comes with a site builder this I would say is your best bet, pm me and I can sort you out if you want t go this route
 
also check that the hosting package you have, allows to have the minimum requirements to host that flash site

Yup, I am publishing to the public.html folder, but still with no luck. The reason why I have gone the flash root is because I find that those site builders have extremely limited designs. Looks cheap.

I was using weebly last night, and that seems to be a bit better, just waiting for my dns to be updated to see if it all works out.
