[TYPO3] QuickStart - backend not accessible

[Alex Heizer]

Welcome John,

First, don't forget to also check out the new TYPO3 support forum at http://support.typo3.org which has archived over 3 years of questions and answers posted to this and other TYPO3 mailing lists. The forum is a mirror of the mailing lists, and will soon have all of the mailing lists archived.

The answer to your fopen error can be found on this thread:

Cheers and good luck on the project!
Alex
