I really don't get this install.



Here is how I've tried to install...



1. Empty server...no joomla installed.



2. I create a subdirectory (called /welcome/) to install "Start Blogging"



3. I go to the "Install Joomla Software Online" page, fill in my ftp info, click "attempt install" and it seems happy.



4. "we have uploaded the Package...click here..." and I complete the form. (I have previously created a Mysql database called admin_joom with a user and password.



5. I get "configuration updated! Database populated. All should be done, click here to continue..."



6. After I click the link, I get "Not Found"...

"The request URL/welcome/installation/index.php was not found on this server.



7. I look at the directory and there is NO installation directory at all. I know normally Joomla has an installation directory, but for some reason, this does not intall an installation directory and evidently I need it.



So...there...I'm stuck there. I've tried several times. I've even copied an "installation directory" from the '''Real''' Joomla software but that didn't work. Maybe I should try again.



So, if anyone can tell me where I'm going wrong I would be thankful for your suggestions to get this to work.



Thank you

Hey Dugley,



Sounds a little strange.



What happens when you just navigate to the root url ie /welcome ?



Normally the install directory is deleted and you are then redirected to the root url.



Can you send me a url and maybe ftp details to see whats going on?



Thanks Anthony.
