Hi everyone,
I am very new to wappler and have primarily just been playing around. I have a website i want to set up but when i try to link my project to the server it says the public_html file doesnt exist, i believe that is what it’s saying anyways. Below is the messaging I am getting.

Most probably you configured wrongly your ftp connection. Can you post a screenshot of what have you set up there?

Hey @jbrant308,

I’ve tested A2Hosting and I never had this issue, but I had a few other issues, for example for when I’m using some actions for images (resize), or for the encrypted passwords (need to be on NodeJS v10 max), so I would suggest you to try a different host or use Cloud Docker Hosting (Linode, Digital Ocean etc)… :slight_smile:

I got it figured out! A2 hosting doesnt use the default port for SFTP. My URL was also incorrect due to it being on a shared server. after reading through the documentation i found the correct port and server url.

I will experiment with this and see if i have any issues. I have already purchased the subscription so i dont want to simply cancel.

A2Hosting is a great hosting solution though so if you can make it work with them that’s great! :slight_smile:
