The problem with those auto installers is that we have no idea where they put things ...

If you ftp into your account, you should find the file there somewhere (after some poking around). If you see directories called "system", "plugins", and "sql", it should be in that same directory.

Please don't email me with support requests - I prefer to reply in the forums so that others can also benefit from the answers.

So here goes:
I have fount the config.php file - How do I get into it and how do I customize it.

Open the file in a text editor (Notepad, if you have nothing else). Read the comments and see the documentation to learn what all those options mean.

When making changes, take care not to lose any quotes or semicolons as that can cause syntax error and would prevent your site from working. When you're done making the changes, upload the file again. Have a backup of a working copy, just in case ...

If you've already downloaded the config.php, you'll find the path in the $_CONF['path'] variable.
