[Herefordshire] Mambo install

[Andrew Hodgson]

Hi,

If you used Mandrake Apache packages they may have already done most of the install/start work automatically.  When you browse to http://localhost, do you get an Apache home page?  If so, the Mambo files need to go to the WWW root directory (/var/www, /srv/www etc etc.  You then need to create the SQL table and assign it to a username (don't use the root username under MySQL!), and then run the install script.  Chances are you will then have to do some chmoding to get some permissions changed, but the script will tell you what needs changing.

Thanks.
Andrew.

Not as such. I have installed them from the Mandrake CD's. and they have
dissappeared into to PC innards.
I installed Mambbo to  home/noel/Mambo

I ran' /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start' whcih I understand should start
Apache.But nothing else .
The instructions that I was following then suggested that I should adjust
the 'init' files to start automatically and start adding content?

I have done no more. What next p[lease
