GoDaddy makes the Hotstart easy as I can simply go into my Hosting control panel, go into File Manager and upload the Hot_ecommerce_hotstart.zip and unarchive.

when I then go into my site - www.caffe-amante.com/installation/index.php
I see the message:

PLEASE REMEMBER TO COMPLETELY
REMOVE THE INSTALLATION DIRECTORY.
You will not be able to proceed beyond this point until the installation directory has been removed. This is a security feature of Joomla!.
Click here when the directory has been removed.

At this time when I remove the installation folder and try logging in to www.caffe-amante.com/administrator , I get the error:

Fatal error: call to a member function login() on a non-object in/home/content/79/7742479/html/caffe-amante.com/administrator/components/com_login/admin.login.php on line 64

I'm bypassing the FTP software in lieu of Godaddy as it's quite user friendly - but can you get an idea what's going on? the files are uploading to the Caffe-amante.com directory as you'll see in the attachment. Your guidance would be sincerely appreciated.

First of all, make sure you uploaded and unpacked HotStart into the EMPTY directory.

I used GoDaddy before and it was not possible to unpack such large archive directly on server completely. So, I used to unpack it on my computer and upload by FTP (Filezilla).

Finally, I recommend you to use any cPanel based host, such as HostGator.com, to install and run Joomla's easily.

Thanks for the reply.
..so I should unzip first, then transfer. once I transfer the files, will the actual install occur thru filezilla? I dont see anywhere in the dashboard to actually "install". I thought simply uploading was all that was required. There is also a JavaFTP via godaddy that can be used for uploading - if I go that route, again, im confused with how to actually "install"
..am I missing something? thx!

Filezilla is program for uploading files via FTP only.

After uploading, you should run installer through your browser. Please read PDF documentation file. If you are no able to understand it, we can offer installation service for $30: www.hotwebdesigntemplates.com/cart.php?gid=8
