Recently i found out a client has a hosting account with networksolutions and i have the task of restructuring the site into a CMS and i decided to use joomla,i built the site offline and i did my backup with Akeeba.When it was time to upload the site i hapen to find out there is nothing like a control panel hence i have no data base to work with during akeeba restoration process.My Client has no clue to the db or pw even the table prefix_,and remember joomla always runs in a db with tbl prefix and a pw.

[size=20pt]What Would You Do in a case like this?,were u just to upload the site thru FTP and only for u to be stop in the process during Akeeba Restoration Process.[/size][i][/i]

with akeeba, u MUST have a remote database set up. The cpanel is important at this point.
Other options are:

1. ask ur client for the contact details of this host, then resolve issues about pw, login, cpanel with them.

2. if this user is on a vps, try navigate to www.yourdomain.com/cpanel to see if cpanel is installed, then check /etc/passwd on the machine. this is the file cpanel keeps it login details.

if cpanel is not installed, you can just install phpmyadmin, set up ur database as u have in ur localhost and thats it.

Ask the client for the first email sent by the host on registration for hosting.

Information with FTP details, databases, CPanel etc are usually sent with the first message. In the event that such is not available or applicable, you can at least begin from there.

Network Solutions is a reputable large company, so I don't believe that they have any hosting plan without at least one MySQL db in this age and time.
