I'm very new and have never hosted a website before. I'm using cPanel and have a php website I've developed using XAMPP. I'm very confused as to how to use cPanel and how to upload my website to work as it did on XAMPP.
I uploaded all my files and folders using File Manager within the public_html folder. I selected the preview website option on the home screen and received a 500 Internal Server Error that stated:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@previewmywebsitenow.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.2.26 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.26 OpenSSL/1.0.0-fips mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 Server at www.previewmywebsitenow.com Port 80
I tried to look up the meaning, but I wasn't sure of how to fix my mistake. Did I upload everything the way I was supposed to? Also, if this is an error not occurred from my upload, how do I find the files or do the procedure I need to in order to fix this?
I appreciate any sort of explanation or instruction on how to continue this. I'm very new and please forgive my ignorance.
