How to install Joomla?

Hello,

i have recently installed joomla on "www.catzathome.co.uk" and for the most part it works fine. The only issue I have is the SAVE / APPLY / CANCEL buttons do not work. They jsut redirect me back to to my home page (e.g from the "www.catzathome.co.uk/administrator/" page if I **** SAVE/ APPLY / CANCEL I get sent back to the home page of "www.catzathome". After hours of googling and on the JOOMLA forums I have found no other suggestions but to check with my host company if there is something (e.g Security) which might effect a joomla install.

Is there anything?

Thank you

(PS It is the same if I install it with Fantastico or by uploading it myself manually)

sorry i do not understand your question.

However it is always a good practice to install the software manually instead of using Fantastico

To install manually, download and unzip the files into your computer. Then upload it via FTP into your server. Then access the folder using your browser and go through the installation process. You will need to create a database for Joomla before install.

Remove the installation files after the install.

There may be a problem with the installation with Fantastico.

try to install joomla from the scratch:

download joomla pack
unarchive in your computer
upload files to server
read manual what directories should be chmod'ed and do it
Install joomla using joomla installer programm

Maybe this will help
