Alright.. first off, I am NOT technologically inclined.

So.. what I am trying to do is create my own website to store my textures. I have purchased some web space online, have a domain name and all that jazz.

I need someone who is patient and doesn't mind walking me through fixing this up, step by miserable step. You'll probably have to go back to the beginning with me, to make sure I have the domain set up right, lol.

Let me make this very clear---I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing. So, I am appealing to all you peeps out there who are into this sort of thing and it's a cake walk for you.. YOU, yes.. I need YOU!

I don't need comments, I don't need advice, what I NEED is someone who will get on Skype with me so I can screenshare and they can teach me what to do.

So, if there is anyone who is patient and knows what I need, then PLEASE contact me so we can set up a time to work together. I am at the point where every word is a curse and I'm ready to throw the whole computer out of the window...which would be a waste, since it's only a year old. Help me, please!

THANKS!! BB

Thanks, but that's exactly what I DON'T need. I need somebody to sit with me and walk me through it, step by step... this is ALL GREEK to me!

I'm not fussing at ya.. I appreciate it. I am just at the point where I am cussing the whole situation and stressed to the gills over it. Been trying to figure it out on my own and those %^$#@# bastardos that are supposed to be customer service for those sites ain't worth 2 cents! Worthless..and useless.

I'm extremely frustrated, lol.

Coppermine is Open source, belongs to the public and programmed by the public so it's free. You got a domain so you're part way there. Look at the problem as I have to do A-B not A-Z, one step at a time. First off check your login to your domain name host. I use Freedomnames so I log in there, that's your A-B done. Now B-C is a bigger step, you look for your login to your C-Panel, you did get a C-Panel host? Don't worry if not, I added one to my account for £6 a year and £17 a year for the base account including the Domain.

C-Panel is a basic looking Windows User Interface with the same click to open principles and it usually allows at least one database. The big advantage being a built in Semi Automatic Coppermine installer as well as lots of other things. Mostly you set it installing and all is done, but read what details it puts in the boxes and amend to suit! If you have to try it 4-5 times then so be it. That's B-C done as long as you found your site address which is your domain anyway so if you got www.meathome.com then your Coppermine is installed there! Now C-D to do, go inside Coppermine and set it up so you are Admin, then allow yourself as an account. Set it as Private, not a public program anyone can peruse. You are not trying to do A-D, you are starting with A-B and any step along the way is a step nearer your overall objective, lots of small steps make one big step. So you join the army and learn the drill, you learn to shoot, you learn to map, at the end of it all hey you're a soldier! All skills you may not have fully had before that.

So now you got a domain, you got C-Panel, you know how to log into your account and your Coppermine. You have Admin rights and an account. Add another one for your other half too. Next, not everyone wants folders so you set up the folders yourself. Once you get to this stage shout me and we'll walk through it. Once you get the right selection in there it's basic looking but real easy. I set up one folder for each property and Coppermine is not big on sub folders so I appended 1 to the end of every file in the first room and 2 for the next room and so on. Makes it easier to locate them. Once you try to upload it will not do it unless you point to a folder first. So you point to the property folder, show it where on your puter it is and it's done, single or multiple picture uploads. Instantly those pictures are available. But you need to know the address first.

This is where Filezilla is handy as FTP-File Transfer Protocol. Hey it transfers files, a Protocol is like a Japanese man and an English man having different ways to say hello. One bows and the other shakes hands so they both say hello but not in the same way. They learn to get along and say hello to each other, that's a Protocol. Get the most up to date Filzezilla or suffer, cos it will keep nagging you to update anyway. everything I have used is free apart from the hosting, domain, C-Panel and Coppermine is likely to stay free as it has been publically owned since 2003/4, I should say it has no owner. If changes are proposed they are vetted and tested, they also have their own Forum. I think Wraith uses Coppermine also.

Finally, sadly I am not the man I once was. I cannot do the things I used to as I have short term memory problems and confusion due to severe pain meds, especially the ones aimed at the brain. I get highly embarrassed by this and it feels like I have a brick wall in my head now. This means I don't do Skype, but Wraith may do so. In the meantime I will fill in any gaps for as long as it takes and I'm not a money grabber either so it's free and always will be. I learned all of this whilst suffering from this illness but admittedly I do have that kind of interest and background anyway. Sorry for this being a long winded post.

This is what I"ve got when I log into my CPanel:

Your domain is not pointing to our name servers
Therefore most features (website, e-mail, FTP) will not work. You need to navigate to your domain registrar (the company where you registered your domain) and edit DNS details of your domain. Here are new name servers:

Then it lists 4 servers.

So I log into the site where I got my domain name, and there's only room to put 2 server addresses in it.

So wtf do I do now?

Thanks for all the help, but it's useless.

Fuck this shit, I'm done.

I said I'm done, and I'm done. I've already mailed the company and requested a refund. As I already said, I am not one to comprehend the written word when it comes to computer technical crap--because that's what it is to me, crap. I don't understand a freakin word of it. I'm dumb as a brick when it comes to this sort of thing. If there is no one who can SHOW me what I need to do to get going instead of TELLING me, then I say fuckit--I'm done.

Thank you to everyone who has responded and given advice for the community.

I have washed my hands of it and walked away, so curse words are back to zero and stress levels are way down.

I apologize for cursing but that's what happens when I'm frustrated to the max and extremely stressed. I'm sure someone out there can use this info, so thanks again for the input.
