You’re welcome…

Filezilla will work. I use CuteFTP… It’s a pretty easy to use FTP program.

As far as the errors, I just do a quick visual check to see if everything looks like it transferred ok. So I compare my Prosper202 file on my hard drive to what I uploaded on my web server and see if it’s the same. Don’t go through everything, just check a few files and folders and see if it all looks the same.

Then simply make sure your config file is setup and give it a go. Try to finish the install by browsing to your domain.

If it doesn’t work then you know you need to address whatever error you might get. It’s much easier to address a single error then trying to figure out all the FTP errors you got.

Worse case you’ll need to re-upload all your files and folders again then verify it all and possibly setup your database again.

Hopefully it all works out without all the extra work.

I hope that helps out…

Thanks,

Derek

Wow thank you for responding so quickly! I thought I might have to wait a while to get a response but that wasn’t the case.

I did a little more digging and found another video where the person was using Filezilla to do the FTP transfer. That looks similar to what you were using in the video.

I got everything set up, then selected the files and uploaded them to the public_html folder and it looked like everything was processing smoothly.

However at the end of the transfer, it looks like I had 573 successful transfers, but I also had 352 failed transfers. Just glancing at some of the commands and responses, I’m seeing a lot of “critical file transfer error” and “can’t open that file – no such file or directory” or “can’t check for file existence”. Is this a big problem and/or is prosper not going to be correctly installed on my server?

Sorry for all the questions. I will keeping digging for answers in the meantime.

I appreciate your help.

Ok, so you don’t have to do a ‘binary’ transfer anymore with the latest versions of Prosper202. No apologies needed… I started in the same boat, having to learn everything. At least your working it.

My apologies, this is an older video, as soon as I get a chance I’ll update it.

You always have to install Prosper202 in the root of your server. The root of most servers is going to be public_html… You can also install Prosper202 in a sub domain of your existing domain. That would be something like tracking.yourdomain.com

You cannot run Prosper202 with anything else in the root of your domain. It has to run by itself. So select all your files and folders within the Prosper202 file you downloaded and unzipped. You can’t just copy the folder over.

Then upload them to either the root of your domain or the root of your sub domain. And continue following the video. You should be good to go.

I personally like having a dedicated tracking domain to install all my tracking scripts. I’ll do a blog post on how I setup my tracking domain in the near future.

I hope this helps…

Thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it.

My problem, however, is when you reached step 3 “FTP all files and folders to the server” and you said make sure all transfers are “binary”.

I apologized because I am not super computer savvy although everything else you said up to this point made perfect sense.

I select the files in my folder, but you totally lost me on how to transfer them to my server. Where on my server do I transfer the files? Where do I make the selection to make sure the transfers are binary? I re-watched the video multiple times but I was totally lost on step 3 and what actions to take at this point.

So I tried renaming the file, which caused another problem. Once I rename it to a txt file I can edit the file but I cannot rename it back to a php file. Even if I rename it 202-config.php the file type remains txt and is rejected after I complete the filezilla upload

Awesome, glad to help out. Thanks so much for the great comment. Comments like this really make my day.

I appreciate it when you let me know the content available here is helpful. It makes it so much easier to keep creating more videos and stuff and keep moving forward.

Thanks,

It looks like their server is down at the moment.

Here is a temporary link to get the Prosper202 Special Package until they can get their server back up.
