It's a fairly easy process.

1) Make sure you've tested and fixed any glitches in the map before releasing. It'll make things a lot easier if you get that out of the way first.
2) Take an overview of your map and upload it to a site such as Imageshack
3) Zip up your map, all sceneries used, textures, etc. in the appropriate folders. If you name the folders the same as the ones in your Soldat folder it will make it much easier for other people to download.
4) Upload this .zip folder to a site where other people can download it. I use the M00net Uploader for the majority of my maps.

Hope this helps.

What do you mean by "having problems opening it?" Put up a screenshot of the exact error you get.

I guess your video card can't load the background you made. Try lowering the image size.
