I am having a hard time getting yourShop to install with QuickStart. I am afraid I am having trouble understanding and following the instructions given for installation.

I have downloaded all of the zipped files available for yourShop.

gk_yourshop_j25-zip.raw
gk_yourshop_quickstart_j25-zip.raw
gk_yourshop_rest_files_j25-zip.raw

As I understand it I then extract the quickstart zip file to my computer. (NOTE: I did that, I also tried at one point, uploading the zipped file just to see if that would work but it says can't find html file, plus I FTP'd the zipped file and then extracted it on the server but that did not work)

I tried to FTP these files to the appropriate folder at my hosting account. (I did that)

I then have to prepare the database. (I did that)

At this point I am instructed to "Open your browser at the address/directory where you will perform the installation". Is this telling me to open a browser and type in the name of my website? I did this but it seems to me I need to link the database up first before opening the site for remaining installation. But I went ahead and opened it as instructed.

But when I did this I got a database error and nothing works the way it is shown in the installation instructions.

I have installed a number of Joomla sites and got them up and running but I can't make this happen the way it is shown. I want to install yoursite with quickstart so that I can have it starting out looking like the demo site and work from there but so far it's not happening. What am I missing???

Any suggestions.

I figured out what I was doing wrong during the setup. I did not clearly read the opening of the site address in my browser.

Now it's fixed.
