Not sure what to search for or to ask, many questions

I have have Alfresco installed on CentOS 32bit, ver 5.6.  The install (community) completed with all options installed.  I have looked at the documentation but what do I do now?  I thought there would be a web interface?  

Sorry, rather lost and the documents see to assume a lot of conceptual knowledge I do not have.  I have never ran Sharepoint, so I have no comparison.  We are looking for some sort of document management rather than using our Perforce server.

So no one can point me in the right direction to test this out?  The getting started sections of the docs do not help.

Have you got as far as logging in?   What documentation are you looking at that is not helping?

Logging into what?  There is no interface running that I can tell.   I am looking at the Wiki documentation.

The web front-end should be listening on :8080. You probably have to open up this port in /etc/sysconfig/iptables (and then service iptables restart) since by default it's closed on CentOS.

If you do a "ps aux | grep java", do you see the process running? If it's not running at all, you probably need to run the startup script - "/wherever/alfresco/alfresco.sh start"
