Hi,

At Step 6 – "Upload Joomla to your webserver:"

You must simply upload your joomla site from your local desktop to your webspace by using the administrator FTP account for that website,
which you've defined already at step 2. You can do this with any FTP-client or Windows XP.

thanks for reacting....
I manually uploaded the folder Joomla_1.0.12-Stable-Full_Package_dutch.zip_FILES to /var/www/mywebsite.org

pointed the webbrowser mywebsite.org but I could not connect to it because it cannot be found....
I run debian etch are there more steps that I must take?
Where can I read more about ISPconfig or maybe another howto about Joomla on debian etch

thanks in advance

First:
You have to upload the CONTENT of your Joomla folder on your local desktop to your webspace /var/www/webX/web NOT/var/www/webX.

Then:
Within your browser point to http://www.yourwebsite.tld/ where you should see the Joomla installation screen.

I get this error when I point my browser to the website

An error occurred while loading http://mywebsite.tld/:
Unknown host mywebsite.tld

thanks in advance

http://mywebsite.tld/ is just an example of course.

What is the real URL of your Joomla site?
