Tony- Thanks for the link & kind words!
The page http://www.nerdless.com/how_tos/how_to_install_concrete5_using_the_cpanel.html is not showing anything useful. Looks like the site is dead.
Can you check the tutorial’s links? They seem dead.. a 404 page is displayed.
Gjergji, Thanks. Yeah, i see that. Will get this post updated as soon as I can.
