Hi,

I am not sure if this is the correct forum to post this in but I couldn't determine if there was a better place to post this to. If I am in the wrong place, my apologies, perhaps an admin can move it to the correct place.

To start off, I've read and tried this to the best of my ability:
http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/documentation_efforts/mov...

I am wondering if there is anyone who can help me out. Here are my specific circumstances:

I built my concrete5 site atwww.www.featherblock.ca/newsite... so I would not disturb the old http://www.featherblock.ca until I was ready to "launch" the new site. My plan was to just add a pointer to my domain URL sohttp://www.featherblock.ca would actually lead to the /newsite/ subfolder in the root folder.

So the business owner asked me to take down the old site due to it being out of date, and to put up a "under construction" page, so I removed the old site and put the new site into maintenance mode (I still have to figure out how to edit the maintenance mode page with a custom message in case customers view the site before I figure this all out, I'm not understanding the "single_pages" documentation). I then changed the domain pointer in cpanel sohttp://www.featherblock.ca would load the /newsite/ folder ashttp://www.featherblock.ca rather thanwww.www.featherblock.ca/newsite,... essentially "launching" the new website despite the maintenance mode.

That worked fine except that concrete5 started acting buggy because it was installed towww.www.featherblock.ca/newsite... and the "/newsite/" part of the URLs everywhere in it. I can barely click on anything in the dashboard without getting an error because concrete5 is still looking for /newsite/ in the URLs. I tried looking for a way to get the home folder (if I can word it like that... am I making any sense?) tohttp://www.featherblock.ca without the /newsite/ on there, but I can't find a function to do that.

Can anyone help me out? As it stands I have taken down the old site and copied the whole concrete5 site (as in, the entire contents of the /newsite/ folder) into the folder where the old site was located. So if I set the domain pointer in cpanel back the way it was, it loads the site, but not properly.

This is not my area of expertise - I have googled and knowledgebased my way through setting up this site for mu uncle's small business but I'm pretty stumped. I don't know much really about code. I'm regretting the choice I made to do it this way. I thought it would be simple but I didn't foresee the complications I am facing. My mistake!

If anyone has any ideas for me, I'm all ears/eyes. If necessary for this to make sense I'm willing to go so far as to screenshare with someone to show what I mean.

thank you very much for your time,
Brendan
