There are several mistakes in help for Manual Installation on help.joomla.org that i noticed:

1).
>...Edit the file sql/mambo.sql and uncomment the very last 6 lines of the file starting:
>INSERT INTO `mos_users` VALUES (62, 'Administrator'
>Import the SQL into your newly created database, from the sql/joomla.sql text file, for example:
>mysql -uroot -ppassword joomla_database_name < sql/joomla.sql ...

There is no mambo.sql in Joomla package (at least not in v1.0.4) IMHO both should be joomla.sql
and anyway joomla.sql contains no lines starting from INSERT INTO 'mos_users'... Joomla doesnt even has a database table 'mos_users' ;)

2).
>...Here is a useful guide:
>ADD LINK TO NEW LOCATION
>Here is an example of a configuration.php file:
>...

Well, both links are missing...


Best regards.

Regarding #1 - you are correct.
Those lines have been missing from the mambo.sql/joomla.sql file since Mamb-no 4.5.1.
There are a number of posts here and in the Mamb-no forums about failed manual installations.
This is often why.
See this post for instructions how to manually add the SuperAdministrator.
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... l#msg74944

#2 - example configuration file.
Good idea to have it displayed somewhere.
Joomla 1.0.4 Stable configuration.php-dist file.
Code:
<?php

Note: I looked at rewriting that page quite awhile ago, and decided it would be better left to someone more familiar with Linux.

Thanks.
BTW, consider using
$mosConfig_absolute_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/yourjoomlafolder';
it helps me alot on rented hosting due to often server moves...

Best regards.
