Hi wanaJF,

Nimedesign wordpress cms in my local server(xamp) but nimekwama mazima kuupload kwenye godaddy server
nkitumia ftp sipati server conection.

Nkitumia plesk window naambiwa unsurpported file format mwenye maujuz naomba anikwamue.
 
Tuanze mwanzo kabisa unayo username, password na host ya hao godaddy?

Username na password ni zile zile unazologin nazo cpanel na hio host/server inakuwa mfano godaddy.com then na port mara nyingi ni 21.

kama hujaset credential hizo hapo juu huwezi pata connection.
 
username na password vyote ninavyo port kam kawaida nimetumia 21........ftp natumia file zilla......nahisi labda hawasupport ftp
 
Kuhamisha website yako, kwanza unatakiwa ku export database yako, the upload files za wordpress kwenye web hosting yako na ku import database.

NB: hakikisha database username na password zina match otherwise site haitaweza ku connect na db yako.

Concetrate kwenye tatizo, FTP account haina Access na Server. So make sure unahakiki FTP account credntials, User, Pass & IP kama sikosei.

Halafu jaribu ku-upload kifile chochote hata cha .txt ili utest kwanza, then letter uta upload Site nzima, maana hapo nashangaa mpaka unataka ku-upload site huna uhakika na FTP account, itest kwanza mpaka uhakikishe imekubali.

Ikikataa nenda kwenye Cpanel futa FTP acount then itengeneze upya kama control panel itakuruhusu, kama haiwezekani nenda ukopy vizuri FTP acount Credntials.
 
If you can't access your control panel then rather than asking here on JamiiForums I'd suggest you take your issue to godaddy themselves, open a ticket and you will get proper help.

If you want help on how to move your site from localhost to live here's what you need to do :- Warning its been a long time since i last used wordpress so i may be off on some stuff but still.


1. Back up your database as an .sql file, then open it in your text editor, Search and replace anywhere that reads http://localhost/ with yourdomain.com and then save the changes.

2. Go to your htdocs or www or whatever is the root folder and zip your project's folder.

3. Log in to godaddy and create your database, make sure you know the password and username to your database. Once the database has been created, go to phpmyadmin (i assume godaddy have phpmyadmin) and find the database you just created and import the database you backed up in step 1. ( We can't solve your login problems because that's your host's responsibility )

4. Go to the www directory and upload your zipped project folder there. Once its fully uploaded unzip it and open the wp-config.php file. Never use ftp to upload website files, It is error prone and takes longer than using the file manager

5. Change the settings in your wp-config.php to match your database creditianls, if everything was done correctly, visit your site and you should be up and running.

If nothing works, just go online search for solutions, when you do that, you will find yourself reading and when you read your brain improves and you will never face this problem again without knowing the solution.
