Joomla installation

First I couldn't set the FTP parameter so skipped that step. I completed the other parts and then on having removed the installation directory the Joomla link goes to a blank page. This is the output

wget mydomain.com/joomla
--2010-11-02 05:02:23--  http://mydomain.com/joomla
Resolving mydomain.com... 68.178.227...
Connecting to mydomain.com|68.178.227...|:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 301 Moved Permanently
Location: http://mydomain.com/joomla/ [following]
--2010-11-02 05:02:23--  http://mydomain.com/joomla/
Connecting to mydomain.com|68.178.227...|:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 500 Internal Server Error
2010-11-02 05:02:24 ERROR 500: Internal Server Error.

Can you recommend how to proceed and troubleshoot? Which logfile should I look in?

Try renaming .htaccess file in htaccess.txt if present!

Start by looking in the apache error log to see what the 500 internal server error means.

Usually this is in /var/log/http/errors or somewhere close but under /var/log at least.

Use tail <filename> directly after getting the error message from wget and check the last lines of output, that should give some clues.
