unable to correctly install on bluehost

Permalink
After signing up for hosting with bluehost.com, I used Simplescripts to install concrete5. Using the link sent to me to run it (http://www.rochesterdharma.com/concrete5/index.php/login)

It just takes me to a generic 'home' screen from Hover.com (where I registered my domain) with the message "John's Stuff - This user has not enabled any redirections."

I thought perhaps editing the file in the config folder config/sites.php to add the domain name and installation folder would help, but it didn't. I also copied this newly edited file and put another copy in my root folder, in addition to the concrete5/ folder, but this didn't help either.

Seems this must be a common problem... I uninstalled and reinstalled concrete5 using simplescripts a few times but no luck.

Thanks for your help...

Your DNS entry at hover.com needs to point to Bluehost, not hover.com

I would let Bluehost host your DNS. Call Bluehost and they can tell you how to get your DNS configured properly. This way they can help you get both web and email working properly.

Thank you. I totally forgot this step.
