when you are uploading all the files to the server, what is the best way to do it? Should I make a directory named maybe "nuke" or "forum"
and when I upload the files to the server, should I pay attention to how they are arranged in the compression file (directory path). When the path shows html/images whatever is the "html" my main directory path on the server whether it be public_html or www or html?
The most important part about uploading is to make sure files are uploaded in the correct mode:
php, html and txt files need to be uploaded in ascii mode.
images need to be uploaded in binary mode.
Now regarding the creation of a folder let's consider the options, first off many people make the mistake of uploading the complete html folder when all they need to upload is what is inside the html folder and not the actual html folder because doing so will change the url of the site.
Let's say your site is http://www.darkriot.com/
If you wanted nuke to be displayed right at http://www.darkriot.com/ you would need to upload the contents of Nuke's html folder to the main directory in the server, like i mentioned before if you uploaded the entire html folder your url would be:
http://www.darkriot.com/html/
worse yet, if you create a new folder (say forums) and upload the entire html folder and not just its contents your url would now be:
http://www.darkriot.com/forums/html
So in short, if you don't have any other site at http://www.darkriot.com/ and want Nuke to be there just upload the contents of the html folder to the main directory of the server, else if you do have a site there or want to leave the main directory available for a future site then create a folder and name it after the contents of the Nuke site, if the site will be about riots then name the folder riots, etc..
