Creating a New 5.8 Website Where 5.6 Website Exists
Permalink
I have a few Concrete5.6 websites and it's time to migrate them to Concrete5.8. I am having trouble with step one of the process and I'm tearing my hair out trying to figure out how to get past this.
I want to build the new C5.8 website in a folder calledhttp://mywebsite.com/newwebsite... and when I am done move the files of the new website tohttp://mywebsite.com (and follow the instructions laid out in the developers documentation). The issue I am having is when I create the folder /newwebsite and upload the zipped file containing Concrete5-8.4.4 to it, I can browse to the /newwebsite folder and I get an index of that folder. As soon as I unzip the file and put the files from the zip file into the /newwebsite folder I get a Page Not Found error, so I can't go through the C5.8 installation process.
Any help you can offer is much appreciated.

Here is an example of what I am describing:http://ogreneng.com/conc58/
There is a folder where the new version of Concrete5 is unzipped called concrete5-8.4.4 and when you navigate to that folder you get a Page Not Found error instead of the installation page. How do I get the installation in that sub folder so I can create a new website that I will move later?

I have had this with all recent installs on my dev server on the latest version and found that it is a permissions issue.
Previous version installs when unzipped set folders to 0755 and files to 0644 where as the current version gets set to 0775 and 0664.
I found that changing the unzipped folder concrete5-8.4.4 to 0755 and then index.php in that folder to 0644 allows the install to proceed. This may be causing your issue.

It is definitely a permissions issue with 8.4.4. Every folder and sub-folder in version 8.4.4 has permission level 775 and I couldn't get anything to work on my server either at the root directory level or a sub-directory level (one for a new website and one for a development site to replace an existing version 5.6 website). I was able to successfully install 8.4.0 on both the root directory on one website and a sub-directory on another. Version 8.4.0 comes with all of the folders having permissions 755.
You can either:
- Work in the subdirectory /newsite/Concrete5.x.x.x/index.php
or
- Move the content of that directory up to /newsite/ and continue as you have previously
