Same here. I followed the other threads concerning the supposed fixes (cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1 and zend stuff). That did not work.

You will probably not be happy with the performance of your site on Godaddy, their shared hosting is pretty slow with CMS applications. If you must use it, try adding cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1 to a php5.ini file in your installation directory.

More info here:http://www.weblicating.com/c5/concrete5-on-godaddy/...

So - I deleted everything from my file system. I'm going to try to install again. I have the zip file, I will upload it to the root of my account and then expand. After that I should be able to visit my site (http://www.NameOfSite) and see the installation screen. Is this correct? I do know that my hosting company says to change the php5.ini file to have the line "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1" in it.

Any other information, hints, help that you can offer to see if it works this time?

Thanks.

That php5.ini modification sounds crucial. Regarding the zip file, make sure you've looked inside before uzipping to root; more than likely, it contains a named directory - the contents of whom are what you actually want on the root, as opposed to the container itself.

So, instead of unzipping, say

to root, what you want is to unzip locally, then upload the tree to root

so the index.php page is accessible via htp:/ww.mysite.org/index.php, not htp:/ww.mysite.org/concrete5.5.2.1/index.php.

As long as you've already created a named MySql database (via the hosting control panel) and have the credentials and connection address at hand, you should be good to go.

Cheers -

Edit:

Just reread the original post, and it looks like you may have been a click away from the screen you sought; scrolling down (below the 'Testing' messages) on that page gives you two options - one for a blank install, and another for a boilerplate install with demo content.

Once you've chosen an option, the page you were expecting to see loads up, asking for the site name, admin pw, and db creds.

The rest (unzip then upload) still applies, especially if you've wiped the root clean, and since you never got the install to complete, your db should still be pristine and ready to go.

Good luck -

@Sethhickel,

I'm from Go Daddy and came across your post.

As @Barrango mentioned, adding the following line: 'cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1' in your php5.ini file should allow the installation to continue. Feel free to direct message me as I would like to assist you with any additional questions.

It's important to ignore modifying the php.ini file, and just create the simple php5.ini file "in parallel," so to speak. Let the system choose. This hack was necessary on one GoDaddy server, but was not necessary on others I've used. Annoying, to say the least.

@Barango Thank you for freely sharing your knowledge. I would enjoy connecting with you regarding your experience with our servers. I've sent you my Go Daddy contact information via direct message and am glad to see that @sethhickel is up and running.

Thank you - but I don't think I got your contact information for Go Daddy.

I do however seem to have a continuing issue with the ability to upload
files to my account via Concrete5. I get the normal messages that the
forum reports as having to do with the permissions on the /files folder.

Using the GoDaddy interface I have set the permissions on the files folder
to "read write execute" for both web user and owner. It seems that should
be sufficient.

I've also asked GoDaddy to run a chmod on the folder (chmod 777 -R) so
that the permissions would be set recursively - I'm waiting on a response.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hello vppramod,

Have you tried the solution that worked for sethhickel yet?

To fix his issue he added a php5.ini file to the root of his hosting account. That file held the line:

cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1

If you have already tried this and it has not worked can you give more details on what is occurring?

Thanks everyone for the help and the responses to private messages and those offers to help. For my situation creating the php5.ini and adding the "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1" was the solution that worked. (Thank you Barango!) Also, note that in some cases, per Barango, the editing of php.ini to add the line quoted above will work. For my account on GoDaddy the php5.ini file seemed to get recognized.

Again - thanks all!!!
