Magento Installation Troubleshooting

In fedora Core 9 the during installing Magento I faced some problems. This can be solved by many ways b googling. But I did everything after googling. That didn’t work for me. Then I do the following thing and that worked:

Problem: There was two extension of PHP were missing — mcrypt and dom.

Solution:

At first I updated yum:
$ yum update

Then I removed the php-mcrypt rpm:
# rpm -e php-mcrypt

Then I again installed mcrypt with yum:
#yum  install php-mcrypt

And also installed php-dom:
#yum  install php-dom

Then after restarting the apache I could proceed to the istallation step of magento where I stucked.

Problem: After installation of Magento in localhost I could not logged in to its admin panel.

Solution: After googling I found that you have to use the IP addressof your locall server instead of localhost. I mman you have to browse:
http://192.168.0.1/magento instead of http://localhost/magento
