Where are the web pages?

In Joomla! almost everything that you would normally think of as a webpage is actually stored in a mysql database. When you create a new page, your content is stored in a database record, not in a separate file.
Then when your site is viewed, Joomla! calls up different items from your database and puts them together to make what is displayed to the user.
One exception is that your images are usually stored in the images directory and not the database.
Your mysql data base usually is created by you during the installation process (unless you use a Fantastico or a similar installer that will create the database automatically). If you have a control panel on a linux host, you can usually access mysql through a program called phpadmin. This will allow you to view your database.
