Hi

This is my first look at TYPO3.

I followed the Installation: recommended

System is Debian Linux (x86_64 GNU/Linux).

Files were downloaded and extracted outside of the web directory (but 
accessible).

When I cd'd into the web directory and created the links for the typo3/ 
and t3lib/ directories as in:

cd mawing.com
     ln -s typo3_src/t3lib
     ln -s typo3_src/typo3

and then

Linux, Unix and Mac OS X users also create a symbolic link to index.php

     ln -s typo3_src/index.php

where mawing.com is my web directory.

A directory listing looks like this:

    -rw-r--r-- 1 m_a_d pg1790484  0 Sep 16  2010 favicon.gif
    -rw-r--r-- 1 m_a_d pg1790484  0 Sep 16  2010 favicon.ico
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 m_a_d pg1790484 19 Aug  2 00:18 index.php ->
    typo3_src/index.php
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 m_a_d pg1790484 15 Aug  2 00:03 t3lib -> typo3_src/t3lib
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 m_a_d pg1790484 15 Aug  2 00:03 typo3 -> typo3_src/typo3
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 m_a_d pg1790484 15 Aug  2 00:02 typo3_src ->
    typo3_src-4.7.2

Is this correct, because the instruction that follows:

     sudo chgrp -R apache fileadmin typo3temp typo3conf uploads
     sudo chmod -R g+rwX,o-w fileadmin typo3temp typo3conf uploads

doesn't make sense and certainly complains because some of those 
files/directories don't exist.

Hopefully some kind soul will put me right on the installation.

Ross
