Another thing I would check is-is make sure the installation directory exists in your Joomla directory. <br />
If so- perhaps the permission issue?<br />

I'm trying to get Joomla! going on my local machine (Win XP). I have Apache, MySQL and PHP installed and working. I've followed the directions from <a href="http://api.joomla.org/ric_INSTALL.php.html" rel="ugc">http://api.joomla.org/ric_INSTALL.php.html</a>&nbsp;up thru #2, with the Joomla! files copied to the directory indicated by <a href="http://localhost/Joomla" rel="ugc">http://localhost/Joomla</a>.<br />
<br />
When I go to <a href="http://localhost/Joomla" rel="ugc">http://localhost/Joomla</a>&nbsp;as indicated in the third part of the installation instructions, I get a directory listing that does not include any html files. So I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do next; if I choose install.php, it won't run unless I edit the file to include the bang (#!/php/php); when I do try to run it then, I get &quot;The requested URL /Joomla/installation/index<wbr />.php was not found on this server.&quot;<br />
<br />
Ideas? tia, Bill
