please tell me what went wrong? i had followed the video tutorial guides from start to finish but when i open my webpage nothing hapen only a white screen with text file parent directory and showing some other folders.

question 1 do i have to create a mysql first before a fresh intsall?

question 2 uplaod to ftp place the unzip folder of populus on /public_html/main?

question 3 once the welcome page of rocket theme installer i follow the step 1 to 4 , should i place the created mysql data base from the cpanel ?

question 4 after finishing all and deleting the unzip folder from the public html , why is it just a white scree with parent directory?

question 5 does a sub domain have an effect on this?

i am very much new to joomla and rockettheme , no backgrounder on editing html nor css . i am really a newb, please someone help me.

you input the host name, mysql username and password (password is most often the same as your hosting account password), and the database name that you had previously created and if you want the site to look exactly like the Demo, be sure at this time to choose to Install Sample Data. If I understand your question correctly.


sir in the  host name >>> localhost then mysql username and password is the same as my hosting account username and password?

I am currently uploading the rocket launcher via the ftp, hope it works and i will let you know what happen afterwards mariela.
