Reinstalling Concrete5 mess up

Permalink
Hi Guys,

I was uploading the latest version of concrete5 in cpanel. I had an existing site running

I haven't deleted the old files however if you check the site it says you have to install concrete5.

Theres my problem as the old site is not being shown!

I was wondering if you could help me change the settings back so that the old site loads when you visit the site. The concrete folder is still located on Cpanel

Hi SharonSeskin,

Were you trying to reinstall a fresh version of concrete5 or upgrade the existing concrete5 version?

"I was uploading the latest version of concrete5 in cpanel. I had an existing site running"

What files were you uploading and where?

Were you upgrading (eg, via Softaculous) or installing a new/replacement version? Doing the latter over the top of an existing installation would be bad.

Before doing anything else, I'd back up what remains of the current installation's files and database—being careful not to over-write your previous backup.
