[Typo3-debian] Poorly documentation

[Michael Stucki]

Dear Kasper,

Your howto might work but it is not the preferred way!

> 1. Install Apache (1 or 2 - doesn't matter)
> 2. Install PHP4
> 3. Install MySQL

This (and some more recommended/required packages) will be installed through
"apt-get install typo3-env". It's very easy, isn't it?

> 4. Download TYPO3 site in a zip-file (approx. 14MB)
> 5. unzip site to /var/www/<name>

The zip archive isn't meant for Unix installations. Instead, use the tar.gz
archive which uses symbolic links (=easy upgradable).

> 6. run http://localhost/<name>/typo3/install

If you open just http://localhost/<name>/ the first time (without
"typo3/install") then you'll be redirected to the 1-2-3 installer which is
pretty easy and works great, assuming you'll have a preconfigured
localconf.php as my Debian packages provide it.

> That's it! At least for me it was :)

Same here. Took me 2 minutes, and it will be 2 more when the next upgrad is
out...

Cheers - michael
