Installed twice in 2 days: Problematic
Permalink
I use BlueHost and the recommended Concrete5. So I created a subdomain and then installed the latest version or Concrete5.
It installed quickly and I am able to log in just fine. Two issues keep coming up:
1. I went into site settings to change the name of the site and it never takes hold. I have tried it repeatedly...the name is still My Site
2. I have tried in vain to edit any existing text area on the home page... an editor is supposed to pop up (per the video for C5) and all that happens is a window opens and it remains blank..no editor.
So I ripped everything out of Blue Host and killed the subdomain...and have created a new sub-domain (different name) and repeated the whole process.
Same problems again. This must be an installation issue in my files? But won't this software install cleanly in the first place??
BTW, I am WordPress fluent with several sites, dabble in html fixes and feel rather capable....but Concrete5 has me feeling like a frustrated beginner again..
Please help, and thanks very much!

i think your problem is bluehost, try out the demo on the site and see if it works, it might just be your host can anyone using bluehost shed some light on this?
I'm using bluehost. The demo does the same thing, i.e. the site name changes in the header bar of the browser but not in the text on the home page in the header nav. I'm using a Mac, OS X 10.5.8 and have tried with various browsers: Firefox, Safari and Opera. I have a bunch of add ons for Firefox but none for Safari or Opera. I've attached a snap of the demo site after the name change. The site name is scrambled eggs. The concrete5 Site name remains in the header nav.
I believe the name you are trying to change is stored in the Scrap book, which is designed to allow you to share data across your entire site easily. The Title you are changing in the Dashboard only Changes the Title Bar.
Try looking at the Scrap Books you have in your Dashboard, I think you may find one with My Site Name stored in it.

Hi,
I was able to fix the title issue with the scrapbook fix outlined above.
Is your solution specific to allowing me to edit? That problem is still killing me with this. If yes, please first view this short Jing Capture (baby Camtasia) I filmed so you can see what's happening:http://screencast.com/t/ZTEwNGNlZT......
If still yes, then below you mentioned to name the file "name.htaccess" right?
And which directory specifically should I put this in? (subfolder?)
Thanks, I look forward to you answer.
