private label

What does this mean? "If you have not already, you should rename the "livesite" software directory on the web server to a custom name of your choice (e.g. "login"). Next, you must update the .htaccess file and index.php file (for v7.1.1+) in the web root so that it contains the custom name instead of "livesite"."

It says this <?php
require('livesite/get_page.php');
?>

Should it say this: <?php
require('login/get_page.php');
?>

The other one says this
# The following rules are used by livesite.

RewriteEngine on

# When the system is accessed from a sub-directory with an Apache alias
# (e.g. http://192.168.0.1/~example/), then you might need to uncomment the line
# below and update it to point to where the system is installed. The system
# will attempt to automatically set the correct value for the line below during
# installation. You might need to comment out the line below once you launch
# your site at a permanent URL without a sub-directory (e.g. http://www.example.com).

RewriteBase /

# The following rule enables search engine friendly URL's for Pages.
RewriteRule ^pages/(.*) livesite/get_page.php?page=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}

# The following rule enables search engine friendly URL's for Files.
RewriteRule ^files/(.*) livesite/get_file.php?name=$1

# The following rule enables the robots.txt file which helps search engines crawl a website.
RewriteRule ^robots\.txt$ livesite/get_robots.txt.php

# The following rule enables the sitemap.xml file which helps search engines find content.
RewriteRule ^sitemap\.xml$ livesite/get_sitemap.xml.php


# <short_links>
RewriteRule ^Midwest_Sourcing_Vision$ livesite/get_page.php?page=Midwest_Sourcing_Vision&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^Services$ livesite/get_page.php?page=Services&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^Midwest_Sourcing$ livesite/get_page.php?page=Midwest_Sourcing&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^j\.dalton_construction$ livesite/get_page.php?page=j.dalton_construction&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^client_information$ livesite/get_page.php?page=client_information&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^Client_Information_Conformation_Email$ livesite/get_page.php?page=Client_Information_Conformation_Email&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^Client_Files_Item$ livesite/get_page.php?page=Client_Files_Item&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^product-catalog-detail_websites$ livesite/get_page.php?page=product-catalog-detail_websites&%{QUERY_STRING}

Yes, "/livesite" is referring the the default folder on your web server where most people install liveSite, but you can install it within any folder. So, if you install liveSite on a folder called "/mystuff", then all references should be changed to that folder.

…so if you are going to private-label livesite, it's best to create a folder without the word "livesite" in it, since that is where your client's may login. If you are reselling liveSite as your own CMS, you might call the folder /myCMS and install it there for example.

I do not want to resell livesite but sometimes I will have the backend open in front of a client. I messed everything up and now my website doesnt work... sigh...

I go to bluehost and I login
i go to cpanel and select file manager
in the root directory I select the sub-directory that I wish to private label (midwestsourcing.com)
in that sub-directory there is a file named livesite which I rename "something"
then i select the file index php and edit it to replace the word livesite with "something"
then I select the htaccess file and the word livesite appears about 20 times.
Bluehost said not to replace them all, but only to replace the ones in the editable part, so I do that
Suddenly, most or all of my website disappears and I get a 404 or 500 error appears instead of pages
what am I doing wrong?

Did you change all of the RewriteRule?

If your livesite folder is in a subdirectory, I believe that you would have to replace the word livesite with "sub_directory/something"

There is a livesite folder and the other files in the main directory but I don't want to change that one. midwestsourcing.com is the name of the website I want to private label.
So I type in "sub_directory/something" or I type in "midwestsourcing/something"? (midwestsourcing is the name of the sub directory)

Well, since your domain is already pointing to the midwestsourcing directory, you only need to rename the livesite directory to "something", then change livesite in the index,php file and .htaccess to "something" Nothing more...no need for a subdirectory.

That should do it. That's how I have mine set up and it works fine.
