439By now, Jffnms should be correctly installed on your system. You still need,
440however, to configure Jffms. Luckily, Jffnms provides us with an easy to use
441web page where it's possible to configure access to database, user access as
442well as check if the current host configuration suffices Jffnms needs. You can
443access this web interface through the following URL:
444<uri>http://localhost/jffnms/admin/setup.php</uri>. You should visit <uri
445link="http://www.jffnms.org/">Jffnms's home page</uri> for details on how to
446properly configure it.
