Fresh install and cant create sets.

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi All,

Im a first time user and am exploring the capabilities of concrete 5.

I just created a fresh install using WAMP 2.5 (PHP 5.5). Manually created a new database using: 'CREATE DATABASE concrete5 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8'. FInished the install without any problems and got redirected to the site preloggedon.

So far so good. Now i am able to upload files with the file manager. The uploaded files show just fine. Now i select them and select 'Sets'. NExt i fill out a name in the popup and push 'update.' A bussy wheel shows and never stops.

When i go back -after some time- and select 'File Sets' the created fileset shows. When i select it and select the files in set tab, the result is a blank tab without any files.

Im not getting any errors, but am unable to add files to the File set.

I like to use the fileset in some add-ons i want to test.

Anyone any tips on the subject?

Hi!

Concrete5 is not a desktop application!
Just run it without any problems on a LAMP (VPS / Dedicated) server.

For WAMP support:

Hi thank you for the reply.

I just dont see at all how your comment is in any way helpfull.

Concrete looks like an PHP application to me and its not working as designed on PHP5.5. The broken functionality is prop a Concrete or Concrete specific configuration issue. any way you slice it, there is an error messages lacking, a faulty jquery call or try{}catch(); missing.

anyone else with suggestions?

Hi!

Bad Ideas

Some of these setups can be made to work, but really why create problems you don't need?

Cloud Computing is hit or miss. We've seen decent performance out of some providers, and horrible performance out of others. Whatever you may have read, "the cloud" is not magical and won't help you perform better out of the box. A well provisioned unix server will do a great job of running your website. Unless you really expect huge spikes in demand, you're not really taking advantage of the true benefit of cloud computing. Just sayin'.

Budget Webhosting is great, but it's also a race to the bottom. Those companies have to keep their VC masters happy in what is quickly becoming a commodity market, so something has to give. What we find typically gives is the quality of service. Sure you may have found a sweet deal on unlimited bandwidth for a buck twenty per month, but your site is on a server with four thousand other sites and MySQL is crying under the load. concrete5 is always going to bring a lot more overhead to your website than just a static webpage would have. If your budget webhost offers concrete5 and it works well, more power to you. If your site seems slow, chances are there's not much we can do beyond suggest you get on a server that isn't over sold.
