ConcreteCMS

 

This website was created and edited with ConcreteCMS (website Content Management System).

ConcreteCMS is open source and free to use.

Once set up it is easy to use, is intuitive and is a wysiwyg website builder and editor.

At the time of creating this page I am using ConcreteCMS released 20 April 2023.

My website host uses Plesk PHP 8.1.16 and MariaDB 10.6.

The website hosting company I use only had available a 1-Click Concrete5-5.7.3 which was released on 19 Dec 2014 - rather old and didn't work.

In order to use ConcreteCMS - I had to download it from ConcreteCMS and upload it to my host site and then extract the ZIP file.

Link to Concrete Installation Instructions

I had to get my website host helpdesk to change the Plesk PHP setting; open_basedir restriction to "none" - before this was done the ConcreteCMS installation would not complete.

Created the required MySQL database - Server (localhost), MySQL username, DBname and my preferred password.
