Hi jimbo, I installed Concrete5 in a test environment, and the installation steps are similar as with installing most other PHP / MySQL applications. When looking into writing an installation guide for Concete5, I first touched based with our System Administration team. What I was told was that Concrete5 has a history of using excessive resources in the shared environment. Because of this, we don't allow Concrete5 installations unless you're on a VPS Hosting plan or higher. After reviewing their own website, it does seem like they have some contradictive statements about the installation requirements, which to me makes it sound like they have had quite a bit of experience with hosts not allowing their software to run as it is too resource intensive. Have you thought about using other more popular and less intensive software, such as Joomla or WordPress? Let us know if you have any further questions, we're happy to help! Thanks, - Brad
