Cannot even get started
Permalink
I hoped this was going to be simple like the old site-builder program I used to make 5 page sites that worked just fine, but it is not working out that way.
Bluehost.com Used mojomarketplace to install 5.6.3.3 and separately tried uploading the zip file and unzipping it in a "concrete" folder inside the public folder and the alone under the domain name. This thing does not even create an icon in Cpanel that I can use to open it up. It did open the first time but then I could never find a way to open it again. Themes will say they were added but they do not appear anywhere. Help that I have found tell me to write script. That is not what this program was advertised to do. It was supposed to be easy.
So the purpose of this is not to complain but to ask you how can this thing be installed and used by beginners and how would I ever find a way to reopen the program after the initial installation was terminated with no icon or command?
Is there an older version that works easily? I just need to put info out there. I do not want to attract little customers. I just need to be found and showcase my product range.

As far as the verion to use, the 5.7+ repository is the latest and greatest of Concrete5 and is what is primarily getting the new features and whatnot. The 5.6 branch is the former repository, which still gets bug fixes, but no new features, however it has a substantial amount of themes / add-ons available for you in the marketplace.
As far as accessing your site, if you already have it installed to yourdomain.com/concrete/ then you should just be able to go there to view it, it's not tightly integrated with cpanel at all. For logging in you might try yourdomain.com/concrete/index.php/login
Hope this helps.
