Click "Next" for Step 4 of the installer process.
In Step 4, you can enter your name and contact details. This information is optional.
You will get a reminder to remove the Installation Directory. This is an important security consideration and Mambo will not let you proceed to login until you have deleted the Installation Directory.
Also on the screen, you will see a notice about donations.
Mambo is a completely free, volunteer project and has hosting costs and administration costs that have to be covered. The project relies on donations to help cover these costs. Any amount you may consider donating will be used solely for furthering the Mambo CMS project.
There is also a form that you can fill out and send off to us if you are interested in joining the Mambo Team.
You have now installed Mambo and can click the "View Site" button to go directly to your new Mambo web site.
If you did not remove the Installation Directory, you will see a message informing you that you must do so before you can proceed.
If you are unsure how to delete the installation directory from your server, just read the next article in this series.
Once the Installation Directory has been deleted from your site, just refresh your browser to see your new Mambo web site.
Sometimes, you need to clear the browser cache so it reloads the web site.
