Thank you. Hi,
with the Windows installer you should be able to click the "Start Plone" button and then go view your site. Also, to install Add-ons, please see this: http://plone.org/documentation/kb/add-ons There are lots of good docs on plone.org. Also, you should consider reading some of the books about Plone, like "Practical Plone 3" and "Plone 3.3 Site Administration" even though these books are written for Plone 3. Most of the advice is also useful for Plone 4 HTH, -- Larry Pitcher Catapult Solutions Web: www.catapultsolutions.net Email: [email protected] Skype: larry.pitcher Phone: 509.849.2660 _______________________________________________ Setup mailing list [email protected] http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/setup
