Uploading website

[Donnyb]

Hey guys, this might be a bit of a weird question but here go's.
I registered a domain some time ago, and started building a website on that domain with wordpress, but I found it was far to lacking in the control it gave me over the webpage, so I decided to learn how to use dreamweaver and now I pretty much finished building my website in there.
So I want to upload it, the problem is, that the server still has alot of folders on it from when I started building with wordpress, and I'm not sure which folders I can and I can't delete before I upload my site with dreamweaver.
Do you guys have any idea?
Thanks in advance.

1. Delete everything
2. Upload new site
3. ???
4. Profit

there should be a root folder that corresponds you to your domain.
if you have wordpress installed, its the folder that contains wp-content
You can delete everything (take a backup first maybe) there, and upload your custom scripts

Anything that begins with the letters "wp" can go.

Okay I'm stressing out here, I deleted everything in the public html folder and I started uploading my website.
I thought everything went okay but then I went to my website and I see a white screen, which says, Index of/ Apache mod_fcgid/2.3.5 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage blablabla.
Then I checked my remote server and somehow while uploading it placed the files outside of the public html folder, what am I supposed to do now?

sounds like you might have dragged your folder one level up
try going into pub_html and dropping all your files inside the folder

dreamweaver was easier to work with than wordpress for you?

..kinda afraid to look at the site,
nonetheless, gratz on your site launch!

 

[Donnyb]

No bro not easier, definately not.
But like I said , I found wordpress lacked control over the page, I want to be able to fully customise it and dreamweaver allows me that control.
It took me about 3 weeks of hard work but I am able to build decent websites with dreamweaver now, and I can say I'm very happy I made the effort into learning dreamweaver.
