- Choose the version you want to install: Leave the default selection unless you need a different version.
- Choose Protocol: Select the protocol you want to use. Choose HTTPS if it is available and configured for your domain.
- Choose Domain: Select the domain for the installation.
- In Directory: Enter a directory name to install Concrete5 in a subdirectory, such as
directoryforexample.com/directory. Leave this field blank to install it at the domain root.
- Under Site Settings, enter a Site Name. Leave Sample Data at its default setting if you do not need to change it.
- Under Admin Account, enter an admin username, a strong password, and your email address. Avoid common usernames such as “admin” or “administrator.”
