Joomla Installation Procedure
First of all you will need to ensure that you have access to the PHP programming language and MySQL database support on your web server.
- Unpack the Joomla zip file you downloaded above to an easy
to find folder on your PC.
- Using an FTP program, transfer ALL of the unpacked files
and folders to your webspace.
- You may need to create a new database and database user using
your webspace's hosting control panel - consult your hosts help
pages if you need help with this.
- Make a note of the database host, database name, database
username and database password.
- Now access your web space and the installation routine should
guide you through the setup process.
- You will see a pre-installation check detailing the results
of some basic pre-requisites needed for optimal running of Joomla.
- The most likely scenario is that you will be required to
change a few folder permissions - use your FTP program for this.
- You will then be asked for the database information obtained
above.
- At the end of the process - you will be prompted to remove
the folder named /installation/
