• Your content must be located in /public_html.

• /public_html is your website’s root.

• You should move all content from /public_html/public_html/public_html into /public_html

I suggest you to use a FTP client, such as FileZilla to accomplish this :wink:

Move the files in public_html/public_html to public_html


And change your PHP version to 5.2 via GENERAL SETTINGS ON 000WEBHOST.COM

Your PHP scripts appear to be corrupted :confused:

Do you still have a backup of them?

The structure is ok.

But your PHP script appear to be corrupted, I don’t know why. :confused:

Your files are corrupted.

Upload your files again in a compressed .zip file and extract them using unzipper.php from Tutorials on 000webhost.
