Installation of Joomla 2.5 on Windows 2008 R2 issue(s)
Posted: Fri Apr 27, 2012 5:34 pm
Good Day to all.
Let me start by saying that I am a complete newbie when it comes to Joomla. A colleague of mine is going to be re-doing our company intranet site and he is familiar with creating sites with Joomla, just not the installation of it in a Windows environment.
I have a Windows 2008 R2 with all of Windows updates upon the box.
I then followed the following article
http://docs.joomla.org/Installing_on_Microsoft
Some of the items have changed since I was installing 2.5
When I searched for Joomla in the search area in the upper right search bar, I was presented with Joomla 2.5. I then installed everything that it had asked for.
I was able to finish the installation up to checking the default site.
I tried to use the localhost/myjoomla and that gave me the Webpage cannot be found.
Upon reviewing my installation, I changed it to http://localhost/joomla_25
Again I get a 404 Not Found.
Please forgive my newbieness, I just cannot seem to locate any resources upon the internet to help with this.
Thank you for your time and effort.
