I've probably done something wrong but here's the steps I've taken:
1. Installed Joomla 2.5 with database and all that jazz.
2. downloaded quick start file and uploaded / overwrote everything in joomla folder
3. went to site and nothing has updated...
I'm bound to be missing quite a bit so please help! I remember that's how I used to do it a while back but couldn't figure out how to now... thanks again.
