My webhost has a few folders already.
Why are they there.
How do I know which one to use for my Xenforo?

What folders?

Hi
I've been getting a bit confused.
But what I have now from my FTP Program and the File Explorer in my Siteground
is
Folder icon <...>
Folder Icon ...
Folder Icon public_html
under Public_html there are a few files from a webite I am building and then
Folder icon Community and under that
Folder Icon Install

I am trying to install my xenforo software.
I uploaded the contents of the upload directory in the zip file to the Install directory and I can see the admin and css.php files as required.

But when I go to my browser to start the isntallton it comes up with Error 404 File Not Found

My Main problem is that I cannot get to any help from Siteground - they have just changed their website and there is no Ticket or Live Chat options.

Installation instructions for XF are here: https://xenforo.com/xf2-docs/manual/install-upgrade/

In general, if you want XF in the root, upload the files to the public_html directory.

Otherwise create a new directory such as community or forum.
