Be very careful with the rm (remove) command!
If you are root you can remove the installation folder with:

Code: Select all

rm -R /the/path/to/your/website/installation/

That means that Joomla could not create (write) the configuration.php file at the end of the installation procedure.

Upload the /installation/ folder and restart the installation.
Make sure that your webserver (Apache?) is able to write in your webroot.
If your webserver is running under user & group "www-data",
then the webfolder (public_html, www or anything else) needs to be assigned to user/group www-data too.
You can use the "chown" command to accomplish that.
