3. Joomla Fantastico Install Procedure
This little tutorial will guide you trough Joomla Fantastico Install so make sure your Web Host has Fantastico or any other Autoinstall client enabled.- Log in to your hosting control panel.
- Find Fantastico Icon and click it.
- Find Joomla and click it. There will be lots of applications available to install; Look for CMS or sth. similar.
- Set the path of installation. When you click it there should be some settings. Make sure the path of Joomla installation is root (that means Joomla will install into a www.yoursite.com and not in www.yoursite.com/applications/joomla/).
- Choose Admin username and password and write them on a piece of paper.
- Fill in your email and Site name.
- Once you fill in all the details, Click on Install. If you have trouble with settings, contact hosts support. They will help you.
- You are done!
If you are not using Fantastico, you might have to go through Pre-installation Check below to finish Joomla Installation. 4. Joomla Pre-Installation Check
When you run your Joomla Site for the first time, you have to go trough a wizard and fill in some user names and passwords.If you are using JSAS you got these information at the last screen of Joomla install, if you are installing on a web server, you will get them from your host or in Fantastico before you installed Joomla.
- Go to your Joomla page. If using JSAS, open it and select which Joomla site you want to run. If online, go to your homepage: www.yourdomain.com (make sure you installed it correctly).
- You should now see Pre-installation check page generated by Joomla.
Make sure everything in the right column is colored GREEN. If there are values colored red, you have to either set some folder permissions or contact your hosting provider to fix it for you. Click Next. - Another screen appears with License. Click next.
- You are now asked to enter your details.
Take your piece of paper and enter the following:
- Hostname (usually "localhost")
- MySql user name
- MySql password
- MySql Database Name
- You are almost done. Joomla will ask you to confirm the settings. Click ok.
- If you entered settings correctly you are asked to enter your Site name.
- New screen appears.
Enter your domain name, email and password!!(very important: write it on a piece of paper!!) - Joomla is installed. However, you have to do one more thing before you login.
- You have to delete a folder called installation in your Joomla site. Attention! Do not delete the whole Joomla site.
- Go to your file manager (if using JSAS) or FTP program (if your Joomla is online) and go to the folder named exactly like the name of the site you entered in step 6.
- Now find a installation folder and delete it. Thats it!
