[support] newbie

[Alfredo De Luca]

Follow up!

I tried to give all the permissions to all directories and files in order to
avoid any problems related to that but nothing.

I've already noticed that I think even if the page says it's all ok when I
looked in the directory tree nothing changed and any directories or files
created....
How is it should be?
My Doc Root is /usr/local/apache2/htdocs and under this directory there are
all the files (and dir) downloaded from Drupal but I should find under sites
directory my website like www.alfredo.com....am I right? But it's not there.

Regards
Al
