You are almost done! 0. Make sure your database server is initialized and started, and that you have the login details of a user who can create a database. 1. Login on http://${VHOST_HOSTNAME}/${VHOST_APPDIR} and finish the installation. If the installation hangs, you might want to modify your php.ini: max_execution_time = 3000 ; memory_limit=128M ; 2. Move into the directory where you installed Joomla and remove the "installation" folder: # cd ${MY_INSTALLDIR} # rm -rf installation 3. You can now launch your browser and point it to your Joomla site e.g. http://${VHOST_HOSTNAME}/${VHOST_APPDIR} -> Main Site http://${VHOST_HOSTNAME}/${VHOST_APPDIR}/administrator -> Admin You can log into the administration view using the username 'admin' along with the password that was generated or you chose during the web based installation. Enjoy Joomla!
