Is it a Wordpress theme or just a plain PHP template you installed?

It seems some files got overwritten (get_header() doesn't appear in Wordpress' index.php)

so I recommend you to recover or reinstall the Wordpress.

After that, put the files(if it is a Wordpress theme) to

/home/u116779892/public_html/wp-content/themes/[themename]/

wordpress templates should be placed in public_html/wp-content/themes/<theme_name>/. So if your theme is called 'mytheme' it would be public_html/wp-content/themes/mytheme/.

Now you're overriding the core index.php (the theme also has a file called index.php). You can better re-install wordpress, as you probably messed up a lot now
