    Not so sure about that, trying to install concrete5 with no success.
    There is a thread in their forum with my problem from the 26th of December with no solution. http://www.concrete5.org/index.php?cID=429176&editmode=1

    How can it be the best cms when you can’t even install it?

    • Patrick Henry

      Sounds like user error to me. The only issue’s I’ve ever had w/ c5 were created by me. A little posting in their excellent forum fixed up my errors in no time.

    Great to see C5 get some proper recognition. It really is a very, very good system. The C5 crew absolutely deserve this!

  • Antti Hukkanen

    May the best system be the winner as they deserve to be. concrete5 – by no doubt the best system out there.
