Xenforo Too too long to respond

I have been trying to install xenforo 2 at xf2.utahfishkeepers.us, but I think the issue is unrelated. Whenever I go to Utah Fishkeepers it just says
This site can’t be reached
utahfishkeepers.us took too long to respond.

I am trying to visit www.utahfishkeepers.us. I added a vhost for xf2.utahfishkeepers.us using

Code (Text):

nv -d newdomainx.com -s n -u YOURFTPUSERNAME

and then I used the vhost generator to generate a non-ssl vhost and I added it and tried to upload the XenForo 2 files to xf2.utahfishkeepers.us with simultaneous connections disabled. I should have just uploaded the zip. I ran into the same FTP issue, so I tried to use SFTP as root, but I had to add root under allowusers and I did that. After I saved the file with root under allowusers, putty just stopped working and www.utahfishkeepers.us started taking too long to respond. Then I rebooted the vps, restarted sshd, restarted nginx and I still couldn't connect. I am still able to connect using the linode web console.

 

Thanks, that was the issue. I connected to my other wifi network and it is working now.

The ISP operates a bunch of wifi hotspots near where I live and whenever I have trouble with the home wifi, I just sigh into the ISP operated wifi and it blocked the ISP operated wifi IP address.

 

So I ended up just trying to upload the zip, but when i extracted it it extracted inside of the /upload folder. I tried to move it out, but I messed up the file permissions and now I can't delete it and upload the correct zip. Is there a command I can run to just delete the /upload directory?

 

Oops I uploaded the zip to public.

 

Ok I got t installed, but it gives me a 403 forbidden when I try to access the admin cp. How do I disabled the htaccess password protection?

 

I did, but I am still getting the 403

 

No, that is why it wasn't working. I am still new at this LOL

 

If I try to upload an avatar, it gives me this

Code:

Is it a problem with XF, or something else?

 

I didn't use xf2_config.sh. So should I run chown -R nginx:nginx /home/nginx/domains/newdomainx.com/public?
