Localhost Problem?

[Train]

OKay I don't know what to do for this:

Code: Select all

Testing selected write method
Testing FTP access...

FTP ERROR: connection to localhost:21 failed.
This error occurs frequently, particularly on hosts like Lycos. Back on step 1 you should try changing the FTP Server from "localhost" to whatever hostname you typically use when you FTP.

What to do?

But "localhost" is what I use!

Check your hosting again. This information could be available on their website in FAQ or wherever else.

[Lumpy Burgertushie]

I believe that the "localhost" variable will use your domain name for the ftp server.
on some hosts, this is not correct.
basically, whatever you have to put into your ftp program for the server name is what should go in that box when installing.

FTP ERROR: connection to apateezer.vndv.com:21 failed.
This error occurs frequently when the port number is incorrect. Back on step 1 you should try changing the FTP Port from 21 to whatever port you typically use when you FTP.

[Lumpy Burgertushie]

ok, when using your ftp program to connect to your server, what do you put in the server name box?
is it:
apateezer.vndv.com

exactly like that?

what do you put in the port box? is it: 21?

whatever information you use to connect using your ftp program is what you have to put in the easymod install form.

it has to be EXACTLY the same.
