| 00.01 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Installing Joomla on local server |
| 00.07 | In this tutorial, we will learn to: Obtain Joomla, Create database, Permissions and Install Joomla |
| 00.17 | To install Joomla in your system, you should have a system supporting: Apache 2.x plus or IIS 7 plus, MySQL 5.0.4 plus and PHP 5.2.4 plus |
| 00.17 | Please note that MySQL 6 and higher versions are currently not supported. |
| 00:42 | You can either install these separately or together, using a web-server distribution like XAMPP WAMP or LAMPP. |
| 00:52 | Web-server distributions give you Apache, MySQL and PHP bundled in one. |
| 01:00 | Refer to the PHP & MySQL spoken tutorials, for more details on XAMPP installation. |
| 01:08 | For this tutorial, we will be using:Ubuntu 14.04, Joomla 3.4.1, Apache, MySQL and PHP obtained through XAMPP 5.5.19 |
| 01:25 | First of all, let me check if XAMPP is installed on my machine. |
| 01:30 | Lets open the terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T keys. |
| 01:37 | Alternately, click on the “Terminal” icon in the launcher bar. |
| 01:42 | Start XAMPP by typing sudo space slash opt slash lampp slash lampp space start |
| 01:53 | Enter the administrative password when prompted and press Enter. |
| 01:59 | Now, switch to the browser, and type http colon double slash localhost |
| 02:08 | For the very first time of installation, you have to select language. |
| 02:15 | So, here let us select English. |
| 02:19 | In the menu on the left of the screen, click on phpinfo(). |
| 02:26 | Now press Ctrl + F keys and search for DOCUMENT underscore ROOT. |
| 02:35 | It will be found in the table "Apache Environment". |
| 02:40 | Value of DOCUMENT underscore ROOT will be either slash opt slash lampp slash htdocs or slash var slash www |
| 02:54 | In my machine, it is slash opt slash lampp slash htdocs. |
| 03:01 | Please moove this path. We are going to install Joomla here. |
| 03:06 | First let us download Joomla. |
| 03:10 | So, go to the official website of Joomla, which is www dot joomla dot org. |
| 03:20 | Click on Download button on this webpage. |
| 03:24 | We will be redirected to another webpage |
| 03:28 | Here, we see a button that says “Download Joomla 3.4.1 Full Package, ZIP”. |
| 03:37 | Click on that button. |
| 03:39 | Immediately, a small dialog box will open. |
| 03:43 | Here click on Save File option and then click on OK. |
| 03:49 | This will download Joomla. |
| O3:52 | At the time of making of this tutorial, latest stable version is 3.4.1. |
| 03:59 | The content covered in this tutorial is suitable for 3.4.x version. |
| 04:06 | I have already downloaded this file and it is in my Downloads folder. |
| 04:12 | Next, we have to create a new folder named joomla in DOCUMENT underscore ROOT. |
| 04:20 | Go to the terminal window. |
| 04:22 | So, at the prompt, type sudo space mkdir space slash opt slash lampp slash htdocs slash joomla |
| 04:37 | And press Enter. |
| 04:39 | Enter your admin password, if prompted. |
| 04:43 | You will have to do so whenever prompted, as we proceed. |
| 04:48 | We now change directory to Downloads. |
| 04:52 | To see the required path, come to the folder window. |
| 04:57 | Move the cursor on Downloads folder in the Home folder and see the tool-tip. |
| 05:04 | On my system it is, slash home slash fossee slash Downloads |
| 05:10 | So, in the terminal, I will type the command: cd space slash home slash fossee slash Downloads |
| 05:20 | And press Enter. |
| 05:22 | You will have to type the path shown on your system. |
| 05:26 | Now we will extract the contents of the zip file into the joomla folder. |
| 05:32 | At the command prompt, type: sudo space unzip space name of the Joomla file space hyphen d space slash opt slash lampp slash htdocs slash joomla slash |
| 05:50 | And press Enter. |
| 05:53 | Let me clear the terminal by pressing Ctrl + L. |
| 06:00 | To specify the permissions of the folder joomla, we will go to DOCUMENT underscore ROOT. |
| 06:08 | Type, cd space slash opt slash lampp slash htdocs |
| 06:16 | And press Enter. |
| 06:18 | To list the files in this directory, type ls and press Enter. |
| 06:25 | Let's give read, write and execute permissions to the owner and the group members of joomla folder. |
| 06:34 | So type -
sudo space chmod space 777 space joomla slash |
| 06:44 | And press Enter. |
| 06:47 | Before we go ahead with the installation, we need to create a database for Joomla. |
| 06:54 | We will do this in phpmyadmin. |
| 06:58 | Phpmyadmin is the graphical user interface for MySQL. |
| 07:04 | It comes along with XAMPP installation. |
| 07:08 | Switch to the browser and type
http colon double slash localhost |
| 07:17 | On the XAMPP page, in the menu on the left, under Tools, click on phpmyadmin. |
| 07:27 | Click on Users in the top menu and then click on Add User. |
| 07:34 | Enter a username, say, Joomla hyphen 1 |
| 07:39 | From Host dropdown list, select Local. |
| 07:44 | Enter a password in the Password text-box, say joomla123. |
| 07:51 | You can enter any password of your choice. |
| 07:55 | Enter the same password in the Re-type textbox. |
| 07:59 | Please do not respond to Generate Password prompt for now. |
| 08:06 | Under Database for user, we can see the option Create a database with the same name and grant all privileges. |
| 08:16 | We will check that option and click the button Go at the bottom right of this page. |
| 08:25 | This will create a new database with the name Joomla hyphen 1 and with a user Joomla hyphen 1. |
| 08:35 | Make a note of the username, password and database names. |
| 08:42 | These will be required later to complete the Joomla installation. |
| 08:49 | Please note: Database name and username need not be the same. |
| 08:55 | To have different names, you can first create the database and then create a user for that database. |
| 09:04 | Also, as per naming convention, username should not have any spaces in between. |
| 09:12 | We are now ready to install Joomla. |
| 09:15 | We have XAMPP running and our database is ready. |
| 09:20 | And we have extracted Joomla into the folder joomla in DOCUMENT underscore ROOT. |
| 09:28 | Go to the browser. Type http colon double slash localhost slash joomla |
| 09:38 | Please note that joomla is the folder into which we extracted. |
| 09:44 | Press Enter and you will see the Joomla installation page. |
| 09:50 | By default, we are in step number one, that is, Configuration. |
| 09:56 | Joomla can be installed in multiple languages. |
| 10:00 | We will select English (United states) here. |
| 10:05 | Click on Next button at the top right. |
| 10:08 | We are now on the main configuration page |
| 10:12 | Enter the sitename that you want your website to have. |
| 10:18 | I will have it as "Digital India". |
| 10:22 | Email-id is a compulsory field. |
| 10:25 | Please enter a valid email-id here. |
| 10:29 | I will give the id as "priyanka@spoken-tutorial.org" |
| 10:37 | Next, enter the username that you want for the Joomla Administrative page. |
| 10:44 | I will enter the username as admin. |
| 10:48 | Enter a password for the Joomla Administrator. |
| 10:52 | I will enter admin123 as my admin password. |
| 10:58 | Re-type the password in the confirmation box. |
| 11:02 | Please select No option for Site Offline (Yes/No). |
| 11:08 | The site can be set online later on through the global configuration. |
| 11:14 | We will leave the description blank. |
| 11:17 | Now, click on the Next button at the top-right. |
| 11:21 | So, we come to the Database Configuration page now. |
| 11:26 | Select "MySQL" as the Database Type. |
| 11:31 | Enter "localhost" as the Host Name |
| 11:34 | Now, we have to enter the username, password and database names. |
| 11:41 | These are the ones we created earlier, in phpmyadmin. |
| 11:46 | I will enter Joomla hyphen 1 as the username. |
| 11:51 | Then joomla123 as the password |
| 11:55 | And Joomla hyphen 1 as the database name. |
| 11:59 | Leave the Table Prefix as it is. |
| 12:02 | In Old Database Process, select Backup. |
| 12:08 | This is to take backup of tables, with identical names as in the database, when Joomla is upgraded. |
| 12:17 | Click on Next button at the top right. |
| 12:21 | We are now in the Finalisation and Overview page. |
| 12:26 | In the Finalisation section, locate Install Sample Data. |
| 12:32 | By default, one of the radio buttons will be selected. |
| 12:37 | The options listed here, will install some sample articles, menus, plugins etc. on the site. |
| 12:47 | These are useful for a beginner to understand Joomla. |
| 12:52 | You may choose one of the options, when you are installing Joomla for the first time. |
| 12:58 | I do not wish to do so. So, I will choose the None option. |
| 13:04 | Scroll the page below and check the Overview information displayed here. |
| 13:10 | Now click on the Install button on the top-right. |
| 13:15 | This step may take some time. |
| 13:18 | Now we will see the message "Congratulations! Joomla is now installed". |
| 13:26 | Under the message, there is a Remove Installation Folder button. |
| 13:31 | Click on it to remove the installation folder. |
| 13:35 | If we get an error in this step, we must remove the folder manually. |
| 13:41 | I got an error because I am not logged-in as linux superuser. |
| 13:47 | I don't have delete permission either. |
| 13:51 | So, now let us switch to the terminal. |
| 13:55 | We will delete the installation folder manually from the joomla folder. |
| 14:01 | This is mandatory. So please do not skip this step. |
| 14:06 | Type cd joomla. |
| 14:10 | Then type sudo space rm space hyphen rf space installation slash. |
| 14:20 | Press Enter. |
| 14:22 | Enter the administrative password, when prompted. |
| 14:26 | After successful removal of the installation folder, switch to the browser. |
| 14:32 | Type localhost slash joomla |
| 14:36 | We have reached our website! |
| 14:40 | Since I did not install sample data, I do not see menus, articles etc., right now. |
| 14:48 | Let's go to the administrator page from where we can administer our website. |
| 14:56 | So, go to localhost slash joomla slash administrator |
| 15:02 | Press Enter. |
| 15:05 | Login with the administrator login and password. |
| 15:09 | I will type admin as username and admin123 as password. |
| 15:16 | As our website is installed, we have the administrator access. |
| 15:22 | Let us summarize. In this tutorial, we learnt to: Install Joomla from Joomla website, Create database in phpmyadmin and, Install Joomla on local server |
| 15:38 | Let's come to the assignment now. |
| 15:41 | Install Joomla with the sample data, Uninstall Joomla and then Install a fresh Joomla without sample data. Compare the difference. |
