Hi guys,
I've been a user of LiveCode since 2017 and I've used it to develop a software system which consists of 3 or 4 different applications. I would now like to allow my system to communicate to a web host to store and retrieve data on a database. Over the past few weeks, I have bought a book on JavaScript and learned that along with a bit of HTML and CSS as I would now like to develop a website which shows some data from the database which in turn has come from my software applications. I am relatively new to web development and so I'm still trying to understand certain concepts.
I purchased a cPanel LiveCode hosting account and I have already created the home page for my website using Visual Studio Code. I have uploaded the website files into the correct file directory (document root) on my cPanel but when I clicked the link to the open the domain, "Site cannot be reached". After doing some research I then found out that you have to purchase domains in order to use them. I've purchased a domain from HostGator and then after doing some searching around on here, I discovered that I have to "point" my domain's names servers to cPanel. In a form discussion from 2018, an administrator answered someone's question by stating to point the domain's name servers to "ns1.on-rev.com, ns2.on-rev.com and ns3.on-rev.com". I have tried but HostGator returns with "Host name invalid! It must be associated with a domain that you control!"
Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong here? It would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Aaron
