Hello,

I bought a full website script in PHP form and I want to use it on GoDaddy.com does anyone have any idea of how I get it up and running...

I'm not a programmer or coder, just someone who bought a script and wants to install it!

Thanks in advance!

The code is huge, I mean its a whole website...
The script was zipped (in SQL??) and I got it in PHP from the company I bought it from said that it was simple to upload to godaddy and I've been trying figure it out for the last 48hrs! No luck!!!

thanks

Chances are you simply need to unzip it and use FTP to get it up to your website. Look for where the index.php is, that's the running file for webserver software. That should go into the root of your public_html directory.

That's correct,you may want to investigate if it is wordpress as well. If it is there may be other steps in addition to what fou-lu has suggested.
