Set up guide


Minimum System Requirements
http://help.joomla.org/content/view/1938/310/


Web & Database Server with PHP installed.
Web hosting company or on your Local Computer
See Local Web Server section for information.

Joomla 1.5.X
Copy of Joomla download a copy at http://www.joomla.org/

A un-zip or un-tar software

Once you have all software needed you can unzip or untar you Joomla files to your Web directory .

This can be different for a lot of setups.
If you are using our local web server examples for starting locations.

Xampp > See Local Web Server Install
c:xampphtdocs

MAMP > See Local Web Server Install
HD:Applications:MAMP:htdocs:

Unzip or untar inside the directory this should make a folder with the Joomla version that's only one level deep.
So if you click inside the Unzip or Untar folder you should see the *.php files and folders etc.


You can rename the folder whatever you like but it needs to be inside htdocs folder for Local example.

You can also put your files in sub folders of the "htdocs" dir an example: c:xampphtdocsclientsnameOfClientjver153
You can then access via the browser with Xammp default configuration http://localhost/clients/nameofclient/jver153/
There you would see the site wizard to install Joomla at first.

It does not matter the system you use as long as it makes sense to you.
Try not to use spaces or special characters to your folders names because web browsers convert spaces to "%20%20" in the URL etc.

On a remote server with your web hosting company.

Cpanel:
Location would be "/home/yourusername/public_html/" the key here is "/public_html/" if Joomla is going to the main website then unzip or untar Joomla file inside "public_html/".
When you open user browser to your http://yourDomainname.com the Joomla installer would show up.
If not then you could just make a folder with the name of the section

example: http://yourDomainname.com/MyJoomla

Plesk:
Location would be "/home/httpd/vhosts/YourDomain.com/httpdocs/" the key here is "/httpdocs/" if Joomla is going to the main website then unzip or untar Joomla file inside "httpdocs/".
When you open user browser to your http://yourDomainname.com the Joomla installer would show up.
If not then you could just make a folder with the name of the section
example: http://yourDomainname.com/MyJoomla
