Hi All,

Done my first site on my own with C5. Installed and built all OK. Now almost ready to go live and I cant seem to work out how to "remove" the concrete5 - I just want thewww.www.levanterdevelopments.com... to serve the correct page. I have looked in .htaccess and not sure if pretty URLs causing an issue. Is there code I need to add to .htaccess to remove concrete5 from base path (did try but site just went down!)

Sorry Im a newbie.
Thanks
AnneWaddicor

You didn't install Concrete to the root directory. Someone else recently had this same problem. You can see my answer at this forum post (highlighted in green):

An alternate solution is to keep concrete5 where it is and change the domain to point directly at that directory.

Beware that some hosts won't let you do this.

If your host does support such, the settings to do so will be in the host account control panel.

Thanks JohntheFish! Yep I tried that too yesterday before posting my query. I redirected to the subfolder in the control panel - it serves homepage fine but all subpages give me Internal Server Errors! Im quering with hosting company.

The instructions online from C5 were to install into a sub-folder rather than root when I did it. Frustrating.

When you move the domain pointer, you also need to clear the .htacces, turn off pretty URLs, disable and clear the cache.

Thank you. Yep I understand why its happening completely - but as C5 instructions said I could add to a sub-folder (thought while buiding would be safer!) I did that... not realising it would cause such issues. If I go in via FTP and just move whole site to the root will that be OK or will it cause issues with SQL database? thanks lots :)
