Best thing with this is to something like:

cd /company
mv * ../
 
To move everything up to the root html folder.

If you 

ls -la 

You can see if the symlink to the typo3 src is broken. It probably will be
so you will need to delete the current symlink which you can see is
pointing the parent folder ../ and add a new one so it change it to the
current folder ./

old: typo3_src -> ../typo3_src-3.8.0
new typo3_src -> ./typo3_src-3.8.0 

This should fix your files.

This is an empty website. In TYPO3 you need 2 sets of files the src and the
site. dummy is just an empty site.

Typically you start with this dummy structure Empty db and no pages.

This allows you to check the installation is working.

Then you copy over the rarballed files to 'populate' the folders with a
complete website.

If you managed to work straight from your rarball great. You will have
noticed the folder structure is the same.

It sounds like you have done really well - the rest of the bugs oops
features you can work through more slowly.

Enjoy!

PS welcome to TYPO3, I hope you stick around.
