not in the root of your filesystem, in the root of your web directory. There were you extracted the Concrete5 files.

It might happen that it doesn't get created because it's empty. Some unzip tools behave like that...

It's supposed to be there where you can see index.php as well

Ok concrete 5 is uploaded on my server, the config file is writeable, can't access concrete 5 from my website.
http://mysite.com/public_html/concrete/...

i get these errors
Warning: require(concrete/dispatcher.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/splashgo/public_html/public_html/concrete/index.php on line 2

Warning: require(concrete/dispatcher.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/splashgo/public_html/public_html/concrete/index.php on line 2

but these files are there, don't know what is going on, can anyone help pleas?

Thanks

May want to make sure you've got the software in the right directoy... I see in the error's "/public_html/public_html/"
unless you specified the DIR_REL (in site.php) to be public_html... I don't think it was uploaded to the correct folder, not sure if that is introducing any errors.
Unless you added that line to the site.php or it was added incorrectly. It is definitely looking for a subfolder of public_html called public_html...

Also - typically you're not going to have the public_html folder in the URL of your site, even if it is installed in that folder.

so where do i put it? i had drupal and joomla in the same directory i managed to get those 2 running, suggestions please, i can move the folders no problem

Stefanm,
You might want to try and start over. delete whatever folder you had concrete in. re-create the folder (public_html/concrete5 for example) and then unzip a clean copy of concrete into that folder. Try using the "legacy" file manager of your cpanel. it does a better job of unzipping without truncating information. Then point your browser to:www.www.yoursite.com/yourfolder/... (where 'yoursite.com' is your site and 'yourfolder' is the folder you put the c5 install in)
This should give you the concrete5 creation page. It will prompt you for username, DB name, etc... make sure that your password and username have no special characters in them.
if that URL doesn't yield anything trywww.www.yoursite.com/yourfolder/index.php...

good luck - it's worth the effort.

ok i'm upload right now, hopefuly this will work.

Will let you know shortly
Thanks......

Good god! it worked, will have to delete all the old files, which ended up in my root directory, oops!

Thankyou cannonf700

now as i process the install, i get the message unable to connect to database, i think i could be giving incorrect server information, any ideas?

Cancel that, quick search revealed localhost is the server name!

Ok I haven't started any work on my site as yet, but i have to say, the user interface looks good and the most comfortable one to navigate, now i will have to persivere with this, i hope you guys don't get upset if i ask a few stupid questions, big thanks to you all and a very special thankyou to the developers!
