Is my installation correct?
Permalink
I have a concrete folder under my root directory. Also during the install process, I got all the folders that are under the concrete directory created under my root directory. I have installed new package (add on theme) and that was put in the packages directory directly under the root as opposed to the packages directory under concrete. Is this correct?
Yes. Is it not working?
It seems to work. Just thought it was strange that all the directories in the Concrete folder were also replicated in the root folder at the same level as the Concrete folder.
That is probably one of the first things anyone with a clue about their directory structure says. Understanding why this is is a hurdle I had to overcome as well.
The base reason is this, the core files are located in your siteroot/concrete folder. Any add-on's and/or custom code goes into the folders under your root. This accomplishes two things. 1) your core files are not subject to tampering (as long as you don't mess with them). 2) your custom files/add-on's, etc are located in those folders off your root and you as a site owner/developer can easily identify the customized information on your site (backend stuff, not what your client messes with).
Hope that helps define the reason.
