how to properly install joomla

I want to try joomla, but I can't even install it properly. The last step I was able to make, using the manual installation is before the step before the finish. When I click next, I get this: alt text

The database is created, when I check on phpmyadmin. What's wrong, I think I have followed all the steps correctly because there's no error in every step. And my php settings is set to the recommended settings by joomla.

Server check list to make sure your Joomla installation will work OK :

  • PHP version > 5.0
  • Apache version > 2.0
  • MySQL > 5.0
  • Configuration file "configuration.php" permission is set to 777 (writable)

Are you sure you uploaded all the files?

This should work ... I think there's something wrong with your server configuration not Joomla. Try installing WAMP It's free host comes with Apache, PHP and MySQL. An easy installation without the hassle to configure it.

If the database and tables are created then installation is done. Remove the folder called installation and go to http://localhost/joomla/ and it should work.

Some browsers hide the actual error messages returned by the server. In your case, you are probably getting Error 500: Server Error. You can find the details in the web server error log. The location of the log varies depending on the software and platform. Apache on Windows tends to put them under %ProgramFiles%\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\logs or similar.
