i get this error ftp_mkdir(): Can't create directory: File exists when i try to create new folder

#2

Hi kuini

I can create directories without problems. What folder do you want to create and where?

#3

i do folder > folder > but the 3rd folder wont go in, i get error there

#4

I have created a test folder in /public_html with more than 3 levels, and it worked :wink:

It’s important to tell us how do you want to name your folder, and where to create it, as there may be names which may interfere with the server.

#5

Japanese Hayaku > php > friend

#6

That’s odd. Please go to cPanel > Settings > General > Fix files permission.

Then try again :slight_smile:

#7

forgot to say its under public_html

#8

That’s the path where your website should be. It’s ok :wink:

#9

i remade the folders Japanese Hayaku > php > friend and friend failed again

#10

Have you tried fixing files permissions?

#11

yes i tried 2 times, but i still get error

#12

I know why this error occurs.

It’s because your folder /public_html/Japanese Hayacu contains a space in it. Please avoid using spaces in folders, as these can easily interfere with the entire engine of PHP. :wink:

You can add a space bar to replace the space, like this: Japanese_Hayacu and such errors will disappear.

oh how do i create a database

#15

You can create a database by going to cPanel > Manage databases > Create

Note that DB’s host is localhost :wink:

#16

i cant import my own tables i get errors

#17

Click on database first (from left), then go to Import tab and import your tables.

Switch “SQL compatibility mode” to “Traditional” if necessary.

#18

i also got error with javascript not loading on my website

#19

This is not a 000webhost related issue. We don’t delete nor modify your files, except when they violate the TOS (but this is not the case).

Make sure your JS files are linked correctly.
