Problems installing
Permalink
I've installed Concrete5 a few times and sailed through no problem, but this is the first time I've done it on this server and in seems to have gone so insanely wrong that I think I've done something stoooopid, I've deleted it and started again but I just can't get off the starting blocks
Heres where it is at the moment -http://oceanraptor.co.uk/concrete/...
for starters I don't think it should look like this? images not working etc, I've changed permissons for everything ... hitting run tests breaks everything ... any ideas to get me started?

Your right ... I will get on and have a word with my hosting company weird .. its a shared served with a company 'Storm Internet' been pretty decent up to now
Yeah, i had a similar problem with joomla and after the domain was reconfigured it worked great.
Hope you solve your problem.

After looking in more detail the problem in my opinion seems to be with php, perhaps the database extensions for php are not working or corrupted.
Does your account have any other domains were php is not working?

Just another thought, have you tried the good old reinstall. It is possible some files could have been corrupted it you uploaded via ftp.
yeah I've just reinstalled it after I fixed that www. bug ... but exactly the same humm very odd
everything else seems to work and php is installed and working correctly as far as I know
Infact if you go to the root of this site -http://oceanraptor.co.uk/ you can see joomla is installed and working fine, so I guess that crosses out database and php problems? I did try installing this in the root without joomla about but still had this problem, so installed joomla as a test and put this in a folder and still had the same problems ...

It could be linked to a routing problem, see it it works if you try to install into a sub-domain like concrete5.oceanraptor.co.uk/
interesting point for you all ...
the header concrete5 logo is looking in the wrong place, view source and its looking here
http://www.concrete.oceanraptor.co.uk/Index.ph/concrete/images/logo...
when infact you can find it here ...
http://www.concrete.oceanraptor.co.uk/concrete/images/logo_menu.png...
whats that Index.ph bit all about!?

P.s. about the logo the reason the first URL does not work is because that is a virtual path created by php for page routing and not the server physical path.
go tohttp://concrete.oceanraptor.co.uk/index.php/index.php/install/?subm...
That will solve the problem

it is routing tohttp://www.concrete.oceanraptor.co.uk/Index.ph/index.php/install/...
it should be index.php not Index.ph
One of the files may not be names correctly or more likely the .htaccess for some reason is routing to Index.ph

oooo looks like we're getting somewhere, right I'm gonna get rid of the joolma database and all that crap, put this in the root and see if I can get this working!
cool, once you have done that see if you could attach the .htaccess file for the domain. That way I might be able to solve the routing problem.
From your previous errors i see your hosting service is windows based (grrr windows servers) so that could have an effect on how page routing is effected.

scrap my previous post about .htaccess files just remembered windows servers don't use them.
its actually a joint php and asp server, has em both installed! :-) Its been a really good server actually
I'll let you know what I'm up and running, cheers for this so far btw, your saving my bacon!
1000+ internets to you

sure, good luck setting up the site.
Well looky here
I've managed to re install, it had the same problem but if I went to that link I got to the page to install it and managed to install!
Here we are at the moment
http://oceanraptor.co.uk/
Says page not found I did think it used to have content by default, but I haven't done any digging in to this yet but seems like we're almost there

For the moment you could create a static html (index.html) page and automatically redirect tohttp://oceanraptor.co.uk/index.php...
Ahh yes, looking good!
I'm guessing that little problem is that it's looking for everything apart from index.php, probably index.html? all installed and perfect tho, thank you very much for all the help

Glad to help, if you decide to use a html redirect by adding something like this <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5; url=http://oceanraptor.co.uk/index.php"> to the html file just be aware that it will affect your future google page rank.
This should solve the routing problem. I have attached a .htaccess.txt file
If you upload it to the document root (you may need to remove the .txt from the end) it should configre the server so that the site can be accessed directly fromhttp://oceanraptor.co.uk
It should remove the need for index.php in the URL and could solve the issue

humm yeah this is what I was trying to do, I did my own verson which didn't work ... which was just this
DirectoryIndex index.php default.html index.html index.cgi
then I've tried yours but no joy, uploaded in to the root folder right? The same folder as the index.php itself? hummmm keep trying ...
DirectoryIndex index.php default.html index.html index.cgi

is it just me or do you now go to
http://www.oceanraptor.co.uk
it takes you tohttp://oceanraptor.co.uk/Index.php... and doesn't work cos of that capital Index? (this is with your htaccess ... but you haven't put a capital ... I've taken off the .txt btw ... I'll just try it with too)

Hmmmm the capital is a little strange.
No idea if it will work but you could rename index.php to Index.php
What kind of hosting are you using?
