Man, all I want is the demo content from RocketLauncher to be on my site. I'm not getting an error screen or anything like that. My site is just the mixxmag logo and a home tab.
I created my own database.
Watched those wonderful tutorials.
Installed Joomla!
I did a clean install.
Uploaded RocketLauncher.
Put the RocketLauncher files in public_html.
The demo content should be there shoudn't it?
it just looks like this:

Are the files in the public_html or a folder in the public_html?
Also,
1. I created my own database.
2. Watched those wonderful tutorials.
3. Installed Joomla! I did a clean install.
4. Uploaded RocketLauncher.
5. Put the RocketLauncher files in public_html.
Did you install Joomla through your host and the upload the files?
That seems to be the case according to your notes.
Please note, if you installed Joomla through your hose and then uploaded the RL, things are not going to work.
You can:
A) Install Joomla through your host, then apply the template and extensions to it
Use the RL to install Joomla, the template, extensions, and the sample data if you choose to do so.
For quick reference:
NOTE!!!
The Rocket Launcher is for a fresh install ONLY.
It contains a complete version of the latest Joomla release, the template, and all the sample data you see in the demo. Whether or not you decide to install the sample data is up to you. If you want to replicate the demo site, use it, if you want a clean install of Joomla with the template applied, don’t use it.
You can not use the Rocket Launcher in an existing install of Joomla. If you already have an existing install of Joomla, you will need to apply the template file to it.
Unzip the Rocket Launcher.
FTP the folder and its contents to, depending on your platform, public_html or httdocs
Alternately, you can upload the zipped RL package and extract it on your server through the control panel.
Before you start, you’ll need to create a database on your server.
Once you’ve uploaded the Rocket Launcher and created a database, browse to the folder,
Ex: www.mysite.com/template_directory_name
You don't have to navigate to the installation folder, if Joomla hasn't been installed yet, it will navigate to the install directory automatically. (How cool is that?!)
Note: It's a really simple point, but don't be confused by the ' www.mysite.com/ ' replace 'mysite.com' with your site's URL, for example, here it would be www.rockettheme.com/template_directory_name
The installation screen will appear.
Screen 1:
Choose language
Screen 2:
Pre-installation Check
Screen 3:
License
Screen 4:
You’ll need the following info to make the database connection with Joomla:
Host Name
Username (for the database you’ve created)
Password (for the database you’ve created)
Database Name (for the database you’ve created)
Screen 5:
You can skip this and use an FTP client
Screen6:
Site Name: This will appear in the title bar of your browser.
Your e-mail: the address you want to use to receive mail from the site
Password: this is for the admin login for Joomla, it can be different than the DB password.
Install Sample Data?
If you want to replicate the site with all the sample content, click on ‘Install Sample Data’.
If you don’t want to install the sample data, click next, a prompt will appear confirming that you want to skip.
Screen 7:
You’ll be prompted to delete or rename the installation directory.
Before you can view the site or login as administrator, you’ll need to browse to the directory in your FTP client or CP and do so. - Thanks,
jim

- Pretty much I'm a moron and should have clicked install sample data. I just assumed it was going to give me the default joomla stuff. It didn't. Thanks.
