Problems installing CMS joomla

The installation of ispconfig on SuSE 10 with the perfect setup is working.
In one of my virtual sites I'm trying to install joomla. I have created a new directory and have copied all relevant files to this directory which are needed to begin the install process. When I go to my site:
http://www.my-site.com/joomla I only get a Error 404 Object no found. When I check with a ftp-client the directory is there.
Can someone point me to the right direction;-)

 

Is the user site administrator? If not then all uploaded files are stored in the users web directory.

 

heyp is right: did you upload to the right directory?

 

falko, heyb

the user is administrator and the files were send to the correct place.

 

Which directory? Please post the full path to the directory here.

 

...the files were send via ftp-client to www.my-domain/web/joomla

 

No, I don't want to know the URL, I want to know the file system path, like /var/www/web<id>/...

 

...ithe path where the files are stored is /var/www/web1/web/

 

What permissions does the joomla folder have? The folder shold be executable for all...

 

falko, the permissionsof the joomla directory is 755.

 

And when you try to access http://www.my-site.com/index.html, you see the normal ISPConfig index page?

 

...yes, I see the normal ISPConfig index page.

 

Ok.

Is there a .htaccess file in the joomla directory? What happens when you rename it to (e.g.) _htaccess?

 

falko, there is no .htaccess in the joomla directory. There is a file htaccess.txt in the folder.

 

...this is the output of /var/www/web1/web/joomla/

When you put a normal index.html file into that directory, can you see it in a web browser?

What's configuration.php-dist? Looks like the configuration file. Maybe you have to change its settings and rename it to configuration.php before joomla can work...

 

I put a normal index.html file in that folder and I can't see it in the browser.The browser shows me the same error page as before.
As for the configuration.php-dist file, indeed it is a configuration file.This is if you don't want to use the web installer you have to rename it to configuration.php to install manually.
Falko, this afternoon I will install a new maschine with only apache, mysql and php and will try the setup of Joomla again to see if this has to do with ISPConfig.
