Putting site live

Permalink
Excuse me if I'm going mad here but I can't find a guide to putting a site live anywhere. I have the concrete directory in htdocs folder. But I now want the index.php page in this directory to be my new home page. I tried moving this file to the root directory in Dreamweaver hoping it would update the links but it didn't work.

The client wants the site live now so I want that file to be my home file. I've tried updating the config/site file within the concrete folder but that didn't seem to work either. Any ideas?

i would make the concrete directory in another directory like sitename.com/home/
with your "home page" redirecting there

if i understand correctly

At the moment the root folder is /www/ within that I have my concrete installation in the folder /www/concrete/ so are you saying I should move all the concrete files to the root directory /www/? That way index.php would be in the root directory but I'm not sure if all the routings will work...

Otherwise if I make a directory called 'home' and then redirect to there how do I do that?

ok i understand now i thought you had your own custom home page what you do is move everything to your root directory and go into the folder/configs/site.php and edit the url accordingly then refresh all your caches

I don't want to have to re-upload all the files again do I move the directories/files on the remote server? So the directory www/concrete/ will then be empty?

And sorry how do I refresh the caches? Is that from within concrete5?

well you wont be re-uploading just moving for example:
to view your concrete site you are currently going to:
www.www.yoursite.com/concrete/index.php...
right?
and you want to move it tohttp://www.yoursite.com/index.php

so just move everything into your root directory (where your homepage is)

then you have to edit /configs/site.php acordingly (its pretty basic)

if you need any help email me
