Hi,

I want to install Joomla ready to migrate a site back to Webwiz.I have FTPed to websitelive.net and I am stuck as the setup asks me to open the domain in a browser to configure and at the moment it only exists on the ftp server. Any one already gone through this process? All help greatly appreciated.

Neil

You can create an Instant Alias which is like a temporary domain which you can use to test the website with ready for when you point the domain at our network.

The page below shows how to setup the Instant Alias

Hi,

I am now having an error message "We have detected that your server is using PHP 5.4.45" and it goes on to ask that 5.6 or later is used, I think that you are on 7.1 so my question is - What do I do now?

regards

Neil

You can change the PHP version the website is using by editing the website settings from the hosting control panel.
