Hello,
I just got a domain name and hosting space to upload my website to (namecheap.com) This hosting service uses cPanel X as its control panel.
I am having problems viewing my files. It's not reading my codes and i only see my html code when i try to view the file. This is the error info they give me:
"We have attempted to auto-detect the encoding of this file. However, this is not a foolproof process since some files will display properly with multiple different encodings. You should select the encoding that this file was originally created with. It is very important that you select the proper encoding; saving your file with the wrong encoding may result in the corruption of your text. If you are only using a Western European language like English, Spanish or French without any special characters you can safely assume "ISO-8859-1" will work just fine. If you are using a non-western language or you have special characters that are not HTML encoded in your file, you should enter "utf-8". If your file appears with text like this: or You may have selected the incorrect encoding. If this happens, you should immediately abort the edit and select the correct encoding. You should not save the file; this will likely corrupt the text permanently."
I am given three options for selecting the character encoding to open this file with: binary, us-ascii, and utf-8. I have tried all three but i still get the same results... html code rather viewing the page. All my files end in a .html, so i can't figure out what the problem is. Am i doing something wrong? Can someone please help me?
Also, am i posting this question in the right topic?
Thank you.
