Concrete5 is looking in the updates folder for your core files. The link to this is in your [root]\config\site.php file.

Look for this line and comment it out to get your site to use the files in [root]\concrete

Actually, yours will be

since you are using concrete5.6.0.

the site is currently running 5.5.2.1 ( sorry about leaving this out)
but go ahead and make the modification to the config\site.php file as you stated - for concrete5.6.0 - ?
I'll do this and thanks so much.

Did you get this to work?

just finishing up a clients graphics and will be back to it in 15 min.
thx for following up - though, I'm anxious to find out.

Ok I put it in this:

public_html/config/site.php

and this is what I got back when I put the domain url in the browser:

Warning: require(updates/concrete5.6.0/concrete/dispatcher.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/shell123/public_html/concrete/startup/updated_core_check.php on line 8

Warning: require(updates/concrete5.6.0/concrete/dispatcher.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/shell123/public_html/concrete/startup/updated_core_check.php on line 8

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'updates/concrete5.6.0/concrete/dispatcher.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/shell123/public_html/concrete/startup/updated_core_check.php on line 8

__
I took the added line out and all went back to normal.
Should I be looking farther into the core - under

public_html/concrete/config/install ( and then there are three folders: base, disabled, and packages)

Oe more thing:
there are only three site.php files :


/public_html/config/site.php

/public_html/concrete/single_pages/dashboard/system/permissions/site.php

/public_html/concrete/controllers/dashboard/system/permissions/site.php


there are : config.php files:


/public_html/concrete/blocks/content/editor_config.php

/public_html/concrete/elements/editor_config.php

/public_html/concrete/startup/file_permission_config.php

/public_html/concrete/js/tiny_mce/plugins/spellchecker/config.php

/public_html/concrete/models/config.php

would it be one of these instead?
much appreciated,
K

I looked at a site that made the upgrade successfully and it has this folder:


public_html/updates

4 folders are in it :

concrete5.4.2.1
concrete5.4.2.2
concrete5.5.2.1
concrete5.6.0.2


The site that I'm having trouble with - has no folder named " updates " anywhere.
So I'm thinking that this is the problem. I had installed this site fresh with version 5.5.2.1 back in April or approximately.

How did you update your site? Did you try to do it 'manually' by personally downloading the zip file from concrete5.org or did you try to do it automatically through the dashboard?
