You are almost done! 0. Setup a database (e.g. MySQL: see http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/mysql-howto.xml) 1. Login on http://${VHOST_HOSTNAME}/${VHOST_APPDIR} and finish the installation. 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!
