Need install help
Permalink
I'm new to c5 and am not sure how it's even supposed to look or work so need help. I tried to install within my new host, which was blank. It wouldn't let me, so Fatcow advised I need to have files to install. Copied my OLD site, which is not made with c5, just to have files. Couldn't find documentation for where to install, so installed in my root folder. It said it installed, gave me a link to an admin login, which just took me to the homepage of my current site...that's it. Can't find a "dashboard" or anything and have no idea how to even get started. Basically want rebuild our current site using c5 and can't even figure out how to get started or what I'm doing wrong...or any documention. Sorry if this sounds clueless, but at the moment, I am! Did it install wrong? Was I supposed to have specific files on my host to get going properly? Just have no idea with no help provided. Thank you!
You also need to set read/write permissions on certain folders:

1. Create a MySQL database on your server, if your service includes MySQL databases. If not, then there is no way to install C5.
2. Once you have created the database, copy the C5 folder that you have downloaded into root. You can copy the files out of the C5 files out of the folder you download and put all those directly into root.
3. In your browser, go to the URL of the folder you copied over. If you copied the files out of the folder, then you can go direct to the root, which should be you domain that you have.
4. Once it loads, enter the info required and click install. C5 will take it from there.
5. Once it finishes, click Continue to Site and start editing!!
If you need further clarification, let me know!
