Joomla Installation (Full):

There is no need to explain the demand and necessity of Joomla. Now in this e-world Joomla has strongly created his position for its comparatively easy user interface. But the installation process of its is not so easy. If we don’t have any clear idea about the process of installation then it becomes very tough for the installer. In my this post  I will try to give a clear concept about Joomla installation. 

Actually Joomla is a powerful Content Management System (CSM). By which we can create web site and web application. It’s an open source software. So no need to pay for using this. It builts with PHP and follow MySQL database.

For using Joomla at first download the latest version of it. To Download: click here

Now to run that you will need to install a webserver containing with PHP & MySQL. Such as Apache.  You can install them particularly. But integrated pack is also available. i.e. WAMP(Apache MySQL and PHP for Windows)

To Download: click here

For Linux operating system you can use LAMP (Apache MySQL and PHP for Linux)

To Download: click here

And for MAC you can try MAMP (Apache MySQL and PHP for MAC)

To Download: click here

At first install the WAMP software in your PC. After successful installation in your system tray you will find a new icon. Open that and Click on Put Online. Your PC now will work as a local server. To check it open the web browser, in address bar write http://localhost/ and press Enter

  

You then find like this: 

Now you are ready to install Joomla. Unzip the downloaded Joomla Zip file. Rename the unzipped folder. Such as we will use here projectpage.

Go to WAMP installed folder. You will find a folder named WWW, In that folder paste the Joomla renamed folder (for us it is: projectpage). Again open the browser and put http://localhost/projectpage   to Enter. A new page will appear. From that select the language. By clicking next two several times you will get a page Named: Data base configuration. Fill this page carefully. Give your name and password. For hostname put localhost. And for database give that renamed folder  name (for us which was projectpage). Go to next and configure the FTP  if you want. After that you will find main configuration page. Put there you email id and passward and go to next. Here no need to install sample data. Finally the finishing page will appear & you will get your username and password. Preserve them securely.  Now a message will show to remove the installation directory. From the root folder  go to : WAMP > WWW > projectpage. > Now from here delete the installation folder.

Finally go back to your browser and click on: Click here when the directory has been removed. You will then redirect your new Joomla site. You are totally ready now to start using your opensources Joomla site . . . . . . . Enjoy  :)  !!
