Download Joomla 1. 5 Free in this post, we will consider how Joomla is installed on a local server. Since this site management system is free and is very common, there are many versions and assemblies of this engine on the Internet. I personally tried almost everything except new (2. 5 and so on.) and came to the conclusion that, for me personally, the optimal version 1 is at the moment. 5. 17. A large number of templates, components, modules and plugins are written to it, so you should not have problems with extensions. Therefore, we will analyze how Joomla installation is going on precisely this version.
So, for starters, we click on this link: download Joomla 1. 5 After the archive with the engine is loaded, you must unpack it into any folder. After that, you should get the following set of files: after the files are tied up, you will have to copy them all into the directory created by your local server. Its location depends on what your assembly is installed. But still, the approximate path will be this: “Folder with the server”- “Further, the name of the folder can be different”- then the WWW folder- and already in it your created directory. In this case, I called her nov_site. See the picture below: in the created folder you will have to copy the engine files. After you have done this, you must make sure that you do not have a connection with the Internet, start your local server and open a browser. In the address input of the address, we collect Localhost/»The name of your directria (in my case is Nov_Site)»/Index. PHP . If you did everything right, then you will have such a window: this is the initial stage of the Joomla installation, where you are invited to choose the interface language. The default is already Russian, so just click on the right button then. After that you will go to the next window that will look like this: the support and compliance of the engine with the software of your server, as well as its necessary settings, are displayed on this screen. Green displays permissible values. If you have everything since in the picture, click again further (the upper right angle), the following window appears: there is nothing complicated here. The usual conditions of licensed use, scroll, click again and go to the window: here I want to focus your attention. With the wrong setup, the installation will not go further, so let’s figure it out more. The first thing we see in this window is the type of database. The vast majority of cases use the MySQL database, so we leave this field as it is. The next field is the name of the host. By default on all servers, this is Localhost, and if you do not use several hosts with different names, then enter the Localhost field, otherwise the name of the host where you want to use. The next field is the user name. It is also set in the settings of your server, but if you have not changed anything, then on the local server in this field there will be a ROOT value, and the next field password will remain empty if you use hosting, then there will most likely be other values, but about this is not in this article. The next and last field is the name of the database. Here again, on the local server, you enter any name in English letters that you like, in my case it is novsait, and at the hosting you will have to create it first, and only then enter its name. Well, again this is another story and now you will not need it. After you filled all the fields correctly, click again and move to the next tab: here you are offered to fill out the ftp connection settings, but we do not need it, so we skip and press further: this is the final window where you need to enter the settings. We figure it out from top to bottom. The first field is the name of the site. We enter here the name of your site, taking into account the fact that it will be displayed in the search engines, the tab of the wanders in the browser and on the main page of your site. This field can be changed subsequently in the adjustment settings, so so far we are not particularly blur and introduce what you like, without any analysis. The next field is your e-mail. Enter our work mail. The next field Password Password. The more difficult it is the better. Just do not forget that you will have to enter it every time you enter the administrative part of the site. Below are the fields to install demo data and so.. We don’t touch anything, since we are creating a site from scratch and will study everything ourselves. After you introduced all the settings, click again further. This window will jump out: click OK and go to the window end: you can congratulate you. The installation of the engine is completed. In this window you are congratulated, and also at the right is given the opportunity to enter the site or the administrative part. But before doing this, you should remove the Installation folder. It is located here: after we deleted this folder, we can safely press the admin button, to go to the administrative part: and finally we have the admission window in front of us. Login Standard Admin. The password is the one that you entered into the window of the main configuration. Language by default Russian. We will disassemble the structure of the administrator in the next post, but for now you need to pay attention to the address bar of the browser and save the path to it. The site itself in our case will be located at Localhost/Nov_site and have the following view:
