You could read about the basics of eZ publish
http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/documentation/ez_publish_3/terminology_basics
or try following this example http://ez.no/manual/user/everyday
It also depends on what you're trying to do, what kind of site do you want etc.
Ok, but how do I get to the admin interface? All I get is errors when I goto the eZ publish directory. If I could login i'm sure the Everyday Functions article would come in handy, but I can't get that far yet. Thanks.
