TYPO3 4.3 Multimedia Cookbook
We now have a web server running; so, we can install TYPO3.
INSTALL.txt./var/www.To ease upgrades in the future, or to run several TYPO3-driven sites from the same code base, you should extract the TYPO3 source package into a separate directory from the dummy package. For example, you could create a directory src under /var/www, and create a folder for each version of TYPO3 that you plan on using. Also, under /var/www, create a folder for each site you want to have on this server, and extract the dummy package into each folder. Next, create symbolic links for folders misc, t3lib, and typo3 in the site folders, linking to the source package.
misc:ln -s /var/www/src/typo3-4.3.0/misc /var/www/mysite/misc
t3lib:ln -s /var/www/src/typo3-4.3.0/t3lib /var/www/mysite/t3lib
typo3:ln -s /var/www/src/typo3-4.3.0/typo3 /var/www/mysite/typo3
When a new version is released, simply create a new folder for it, and change the links. If you realize that the new version is incompatible, you can quickly restore links to the old version.

If the backend user account has not been created, you can access the Install Tool, and go to Database Analyzer to create the new backend user account.
There are several ways to download the latest version of TYPO3 source and the dummy package. The best way to access both is to go to http://typo3.org/ and click on Download. The source package contains all the TYPO3 core files needed for the system, while the dummy package helps create the needed directories and files specifically for your site.
Before you proceed with uploading the files to the web server, you must read the instructions in INSTALL.txt. Installation instructions change often and there may be components of the web server that are required in the future. Installation documentation covers all the nuances of installing the specific version you have just downloaded.
After you have finished installing, explore the Install Tool fully, as it contains a full array of options you need to configure your system. Go to http://example.com/typo3/install to launch the Install Tool (replacing example.com with the domain name of your site).
typo3conf directory.There is an excellent installation guide available from http://dmitry-dulepov.com/e-books/typo3-installation-and-upgrade.html. It covers setup instructions, as well as steps that need to be taken to optimize and secure the new installation.
