Installation onto Web Server here in NZ

Permalink
I'm struggling.

I have downloaded the concrete5 files and transferred them to my webserver. I changed the name of the folder from "concrete5.4.2.2" to just "concrete" I assume this should be ok?

I have created the MySQL database and have a username and login.

Where I think I am now struggling is "then load up the page in your browser." or " run the script and enter your mySQL password etc"

But what address do I type in my browser in order to do this?

I think it should be athttp://www.mysite.co.nz/concrete

but when I do this I get "Forbidden You do not have permission to access this document. "

All help appreciated - Blair

It sounds like you uploaded the 'concrete5.4.2.2' folder to your root; however, it was the contents of that folder that should have been placed on the root.

So as opposed to a directory structure like the following:
root/concrete5.4.2.2/blocks
root/concrete5.4.2.2/concrete
...

you should have
root/blocks
root/concrete
...

If your ftp client allows it, you should be able to copy the contents of the 'concrete5.4.2.2,' and paste them to the current location of the 'concrete5.4.2.2' directory.

If not, just delete the folder and its contents, then re-upload only the contents.

Hope this helps!
