I just created a droplet (collab-cards), requested the Ubuntu LAMP stack, am trying to install Concrete5. The online help says “So let’s navigate to the Apache web server root directory first: cd /var/www”
Except there is no ‘www’ inside /var.
Someone tells me this means the LAMP stack didn’t get set up. But I can’t see what is or isn’t there, how to add a LAMP stack if it’s not there, can’t tell what I didn’t wrong along the way, and can’t see how to proceed.
No tutorial I can find online tells me what to do here, it’s been 2 hours I’ve been hunting.
Some tips would be really appreciated at this point, thank you – Alistair

mod_rewrite

Open the file by typing…Important: Change the line that says
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
toDocumentRoot /var/www/concrete5
. Then, paste this entire block of code before the</virtualserver>
closing tag.you will be prompted for a password, use the one that was printed out when you first logged in to the droplet. Then create the db with:
Now, go to your droplet’s IP Address in a browser, (or if you setup DNS use the domain name) it should be running and walking you through the CMS startup process!!!
