Friends,
I am trying to install Joomla on an opensuse 10.3 box, but I am missing something very basic.
I am trying to build my website and after many weeks of search I have chosen joomla. I have downloaded it, extracted to
/home/chief/public_html
and then opened Firefox and tried to open install.php.
The message I received was "open the file or save".
Before the installation I have checked my Apache, MySQL and PHP installations, which were all in place.
In Joomla's installation documents, it was advised to extract Joomla to /var/www but opensuse does not have this directory.
Now, being a newbie on this issue, I have narrowed down my problem to two issues:
- Something in AMP is not running therefore suse cannot run install.php
- I have to copy the contents to some www directory [as advised as /var/www]. It may be /srv/www but I am not sure since this directory has cgi-bin, htdocs and icons subdirectories. Shall I create one folder in this directory and copy the contents? I mean, am I doing it wrong trying to install joomla to /home/chief/public_html?
Thank you for every help in advance.
Chief
