Installation Manual

Congratulations, you have now successfully manually created your Joomla! Web site. To verify this open
your browser and enter the address (in our demonstration examples' case) localhost/joomla (replace
localhost/joomla with the full URL if the installation is on a remote server) and you will see your new Web site

will not be accessible as you do not yet have an admin user.
