After installing Joomla through DotNetPanel's Autoinstaller, I am forwarded to the installation/index.php page

Unfortunately, since PHP doesn't have good file handling, we will need to edit the index.php to get Joomla working. Open up the index.php file and edit the following lines:

// checks for configuration file, if none found loads installation page
if (!file_exists( 'configuration.php' ) || filesize( 'configuration.php' ) < 10) {
    $self = rtrim( dirname( $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ), '/\\' ) . '/';
    header("Location: http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $self . "installation/index.php" );
    exit();
}

By commenting them out like so:

// checks for configuration file, if none found loads installation page
//if (!file_exists( 'configuration.php' ) || filesize( 'configuration.php' ) < 10) {
//    $self = rtrim( dirname( $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ), '/\\' ) . '/';
//    header("Location: http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $self . "installation/index.php" );
//    exit();
//}

Your Joomla site should now start working.
