building my site
Permalink
I am building my site on domain name/concrete/index.php
When it is ready how do I get it to be instantly viewable for readers when they enter on my actual domain name please.

Just move all the files in the /concrete folder up one directory, so that it is domainName/index.php
I just tried this - put them first into www folder, didn't work so then put them into public html - didn't work either, just got 'Error establishing a database connection'. I imagine I am doing something wrong that is obvious but please advise
thanks I am just about to try that, will let you know. Much appreciated.

You also have to edit the values in site.php correctly. You can't just move index.php. You have to move the entire site up one level to the root, or use a .htaccess file to direct the server to the correct folder.
Youll want to look for /config/site.php, this config file is located outside of the core concrete folder so you are not looking for /concrete/config, it is going to be in one of those duplicate folders on the top level of your site.

Thanks for the guidance - in the end it turned out to be some old wordpress files getting in the way and my webhost sorted out the database error. Greatly enjoying using concrete - so nice to be able to delete those old wordpress files!
