why oh why is everything a hastle for me? even right from the start? I finally got joomla installed and I'm following the manual (thanks for pointing me in the right direction) from the begining and it tells me:

>

First, in order to build your web site you will have to log into the administrator area. This can be achieved by opening the corresponding URL in your web browser:

http://yourdomainname.com/administrator

Replace yourdomainname.com with your actual Joomla URL.

>

And I think, 'cool, this is just what I needed!' so I type in:

http://localhost/administrator

But get the dreaded, NOT FOUND, page. I'm sure me error is simple. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi,

    I am brand new to the list @ PLUG, and just want to say that Joomla
    was by far the most user friendly CMS that I have played with
    to-date. I put this site together using it here

                Kompozer looks like it got dropped from the distros
            because it
                relies on a old version of GTK that is no longer
            available.  The
                last news for the project were in 2010, so it looks
            like a dead
                project... too bad, it was a nice piece of software.

                That being said, what are you trying to do?  You might
            have better
                luck with a Content Management System (CMSanks) for
            what you want
                doing.  It can be a LOT easier to work with and will
            give you a
                standard style across all your pages without having to
            write a
                single line of HTML.

                Have a look at Joomla, Drupal, and wordpress for 3 of
            the most
                popular CMSs out there.  I'm personally a fan of
            Joomla.  It's easy
                to use while still having a ton of features.
             Wordpress is probably
                the easiest to use, and also the last flexible.
             Drupal is the most
                flexible, but also the hardest to use.
