All we want to do is install C5 to a new account in GD.
Simple right?

Launch the hosting -check ( see the files at the attchment )
Create the sql db - check
upload the zip (5.6.1.20 - check

"Unarchive the file to the directory where you want to install C5" -- and that would be where?
No public_html or the like , folder in the build. Can't find the answer easily in C5 and don't want to just put it any anything without I'm sure it's correct.

"Select the php5.ini file installed at the root level" -- there is no php5.ini in the hosting account. GD support says its not in the shared hosting product and phpinfo shows is above the webroot directory ( all roots are not the same in GD! ). You need to put in your own php5.ini says GD support, yet, to date, have not replied with the script suitable to the build. Doubt they will. GD support is truly retched.

We are not server geeks and the one we got to help - all he wanted was not to use GD and that is not an option where we are - so he was done.

Looking for simple clear help in this matter from experienced eyes.
