Now you can view the new Joomla installation. In the present example, there is a preexisting index.html page on this domain, so in order to view Joomla we need to type in the full url of the Joomla start page, in this case www.nycircuits.com/index.php. If you are installing Joomla into an empty domain, you can just type the domain name and you will see your new Joomla site.
