Installing Honey Pots

I need help please.

Author: R.Casteel (8 Jun 14 10:19am)

I am brand new to web admin in general and know just enough to get me in trouble. lol

I have managed to upload the monochrome.php file using FTP onto my server but I have no clue how to get the script to run.

The Honeypot instructions gave an example link so I altered it to be the folder that I uploaded to and it looks something like this (with my actual site name of course)
http://www.mysitename.com/root/htdocs/monochromatic.php

so I tried to open that page in the web browser as it suggested ( I thinks this is where I goofed) and got the 404 error page not found.

Can anyone dumb it down for me as a newbie with step by step instructions? If it's relevant, I am using Joomla as my CMS but if I am understanding correctly, that shouldn't affect the honeypot install.

Thanks for any input!

Have you tried accessing the page as http://www.mysitename.com/monochromatic.php?

If /root/htdocs is the document root for your sitem where your index.html is located, you should be able to access the page directly.
