Installing Joomla locally

Josue: Fixed link.

If installing on a local computer, there are a number of packages that will help you get set up quicker than individual installations:
* LAMP (Linux) - Most Linux distributions come with a pre-configured LAMP server.
* WAMP (Windows) - For more information, visit http://www.wampserver.com
* MAMP (Macintosh) - For more information, visit http://www.mamp.info
* XAMPP (Multi-platform) - Not for live sites. For more information, visit http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
* BitNami (Multi-platform) - For more information and downloads, visit [[BitNami]].

If you need other options, we recommend visiting [[jforum:429|our installation forums]] for more information.

Installing Joomla on Debian Linux

2011-08-04T18:50:20Z

Josue: Add login information to the last step.

== Preface ==

This document guides you through the manual installation of Joomla! on '''Debian GNU Linux''' or one of its derivatives such as '''Ubuntu''', '''Knoppix''' or '''GRML'''. Note that this guide applies to Joomla! {{JVer|1.5}} & {{JVer|1.6}}. It has been successfully tested on Debian 4.0 [Etch], Debian 5.0 [Lenny], Ubuntu 8.04 LTS [Hardy Heron] and Ubuntu 10.10 [maverick]. It will work for all '''Debian''' based Linux distribution as well.

Also note that this guide assumes, you're installing Joomla! in a '''single hosting''' environment, running PHP as module. If you want to run multiple web sites as a web hosting service provider, for security reasons you should consider setting up an suPHP (php5-cgi, libapache2-mod-suphp) environment, where every virtual apache host runs under its own UID.

== Installing Joomla! ==
=== Prerequisites ===
You will need to install apache2, mysql-server-5.0, mysql-client-5.0 and php5 in order to have a web-server for Joomla!.

=== Which stack should I choose? ===

- [[Installing_Joomla_on_Debian_Linux#XAMPP|XAMPP]] automatically configures ownership.

- [[Installing_Joomla_on_Debian_Linux#LaMp|LaMp]] requires use of the CHOWN command.

- [[Installing_Joomla_on_Debian_Linux#BitNami_Joomla.21_stack|BitNami Joomla! Stack]] is free, self-contained and automatically configures the LAMP stack and Joomla!

== XAMPP ==
Download [http://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Linux/ XAMPP] for Linux to your your Home folder.

=== Install XAMPP ===
Open Terminal and enter:

<source lang="bash">
sudo tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.4.tar.gz -C /opt
</source>

(replace ''xampp-linux-1.7.4.tar.gz'' with the version of XAMPP you downloaded).

This installs ... Apache2, mysql and php5 as well as an ftp server.

<source lang="bash">
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
</source>

and
<source lang="bash">
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop
</source>

starts/stops all the services

=== Test your XAMPP localhost server ===
Open your Browser and point it to
http://localhost
The index.php will redirect to
http://localhost/xampp

There you will find instructions on how to change default usernames/passwords. On a PC that does not server files to the Internet or LAN then changing the defaults is personal choice.

=== Get Joomla ===
Download the latest Joomla instalation zip [http://www.joomla.org/download.html]

Unzip to your hard drive

Connect to localhost with an FTP client
Default
nobody
lampp

Create a folder for your Joomla on the localhost server

FTP the unpacked Joomla installation files to the newly created Joomla folder.

'''Important:'''
* The XAMPP installation sets the correct Ownership of the files and permissions.
* Using the '''CHOWN command''' will '''cause Ownership problems with xampp'''.
* '''Using nautilus''' to manipulate folders/files on localhost will '''cause Ownership problems with xampp'''.

=== Configure Joomla ===
In your Browser type
http://localhost/yournewjoomlafolder

In the first Joomla installation screen if error reporting is shown as on then:

In your Terminal type
<source lang="bash">
sudo gedit /opt/lampp/etc/php.ini
</source>

In the <tt>php.ini</tt> file, locate
<source lang="ini">
error_reporting =
</source>
And change the value to
<source lang="ini">
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED
</source>

Also locate
<source lang="ini">
display_errors = On
</source>
And change the value to
<source lang="ini">
display_errors = Off
</source>

Stop then restart xampp for the new settings to take effect

FTP layer is NOT needed

'''Database info'''

'''Host''': <code>localhost</code>

'''Database name''': <code>test</code>
:<code>(Xampp will automatically create a database of the name you specify).</code>

'''Default Database user''': <code>root</code>
:There is no Password for '''Database user''': <code>root</code>.

Administrator password is your choice.

Installing Sample Data is recommended for the novice user.

After installation delete the installation directory and point your Browser to:
http://localhost/yournewjoomlafolder
or
http://localhost/yournewjoomlafolder/administrator

=== Create a link in the Ubuntu menu ===
'''To create a GUI for XAMPP connected to your Ubuntu menu'''

Open up the Terminal and type
<source lang="bash">
sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/xampp-control-panel.desktop
</source>

Then copy the following into the gedit and save.

<source lang="ini">
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=XAMPP Control Panel
Comment=Start and Stop XAMPP
Exec=gksudo "python /opt/lampp/share/xampp-control-panel/xampp-control-panel.py"
Icon=/usr/share/icons/Tango/scalable/devices/network-wired.svg
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=GNOME;Application;Network;
StartupNotify=true
</source>

== LaMp ==
You will find instructions on [http://wiki.debian.org/LaMp wiki.debian.org]. Make sure that you have installed bzip2 for extracting the downloaded Joomla! package.

You can check this by the following command:
<source lang="bash">
$ dpkg -l | awk '/^ii bzip2/ {print $1" "$2}'
ii bzip2
</source>

Note that the dollar sign '$' shell prompt is indicating you're a ''regular user''. We will later see a hash mark (#) shell prompt, which indicates that you're the super user ''root'' after issuing an '''su''' or '''sudo'''. The first policy for a secure linux system administration on the command line (but under X also) is to issue commands with the lowest permission as possible.

If bzip2 is not installed, you won't get an output. Then you can quickly install it via aptitude:
<source lang="bash">
$ su -c "aptitude install bzip2"
</source>

Here we see the first command executed with toot permissions, because a regular user is not allowed to install new software. The '-c' option passes the following command to '''su''' and hereafter it terminates instead of switching to a root shell.

=== Configure MySQL ===
It is time to create a database for Joomla! You can do this by the following commmands:
<source lang="bash">
$ mysqladmin -u root -p create joomla
</source>
You may replace ''joomla'' with the name of choice for Joomla!'s database.

Now create a MySQL user different from root for Joomla!'s database
<source lang="bash">
$ mysql -u root -p
mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, INDEX, ALTER, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, LOCK TABLES \
-> ON joomla.* TO 'yourusername'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
</source>

Make sure you replace ''joomla'' with the name of Joomla!'s database from above. Replace ''yourusername'' with the user name you choose for the MySQL user accessing Joomla!'s database, and replace ''yourpassword'' with your password of choice for the MySQL user.

Activate the settings and quit :
<source lang="bash">
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> \q
</source>

After disconnecting from the database server, you should remove the login information of your just new created MySQL user by editing MySQL's history file.
<source lang="bash">
$ vi ~/.mysql_history
</source>

You can use any editor of your choice such as '''nano''', '''vi''' or '''emacs''' that is installed on your system.

=== Get Joomla! source ===
Now it is time to download the Joomla! sources. Currently you will find download links on the [http://joomlacode.org/download.html joomlacode.org] download page. For version 1.5.11, you may do the following from command line, assuming your current working directory is your home folder '''/home/user''':
<source lang="bash">
$ wget http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsrelease/10209/40306/Joomla_1.5.11-Stable-Full_Package.tar.bz2
$ cd /var/www
$ su
# mkdir -m 0755 joomla
# cd joomla
# tar -xvjf /home/user/Joomla_1.5.11-Stable-Full_Package.tar.bz2
</source>

Here is the first time we see this hash mark (#) shell prompt. We call '''su''' without any options, because we want to issue root commands more than only one time. Calling '''su''' that way will prompt us for the super user's password and then change the actual shell environment, repectively $UID and $EUID.

=== Set ownerships and permissions ===
If you want to allow writing in the entire joomla folder, simply do

<source lang="bash">
# chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/joomla
</source>

If you want a more restrictive approach, do this instead:
<source lang="bash">
# chown -R root:root /var/www/joomla
# cd /var/www/joomla
# PLACES='
# administrator/backups
# administrator/components
# administrator/modules
# administrator/templates
# cache
# components
# images
# images/banners
# images/stories
# language
# mambots
# mambots/content
# mambots/editors
# mambots/editors-xtd
# mambots/search
# media
# modules
# templates
# '
# for i in $PLACES; do chown -R www-data:www-data $i; done
</source>

Now set file and directory permissions:
<source lang="bash">
# find /var/www/joomla -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} \;
# find /var/www/joomla -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} \;
</source>

=== Configure Joomla! ===
Open your favourite web-browser, and point it to the page http://localhost/joomla. Replace ''localhost'' with your servers IP or domain name if it you are installing on a remote system.

You will be guided through the final steps of setting up Joomla!, have your MySQL user, password and database name available.

When you reach the final screen with congratulations on installing Joomla!, you should remove the installation directory. From root terminal:
<source lang="bash">
# rm -rf /var/www/joomla/installation/
# exit
$
</source>

And that's it! Now you can login into the admin interface of your fresh installed Joomla! 1.5.9.

Josue: /* What is Joomla! Stack? */

== Preface ==

This document guides you through the manual installation of Joomla! on '''Debian GNU Linux''' or one of its derivatives such as '''Ubuntu''', '''Knoppix''' or '''GRML'''. Note that this guide applies to Joomla! {{JVer|1.5}} & {{JVer|1.6}}. It has been successfully tested on Debian 4.0 [Etch], Debian 5.0 [Lenny], Ubuntu 8.04 LTS [Hardy Heron] and Ubuntu 10.10 [maverick]. It will work for all '''Debian''' based Linux distribution as well.

Also note that this guide assumes, you're installing Joomla! in a '''single hosting''' environment, running PHP as module. If you want to run multiple web sites as a web hosting service provider, for security reasons you should consider setting up an suPHP (php5-cgi, libapache2-mod-suphp) environment, where every virtual apache host runs under its own UID.

== Installing Joomla! ==
=== Prerequisites ===
You will need to install apache2, mysql-server-5.0, mysql-client-5.0 and php5 in order to have a web-server for Joomla!.

=== Which stack should I choose? ===

- [[Installing_Joomla_on_Debian_Linux#XAMPP|XAMPP]] automatically configures ownership.

- [[Installing_Joomla_on_Debian_Linux#LaMp|LaMp]] requires use of the CHOWN command.

- [[Installing_Joomla_on_Debian_Linux#BitNami_Joomla.21_stack|BitNami Joomla! Stack]] is free, self-contained and automatically configures the LAMP stack and Joomla!

== XAMPP ==
Download [http://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Linux/ XAMPP] for Linux to your your Home folder.

=== Install XAMPP ===
Open Terminal and enter:

<source lang="bash">
sudo tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.4.tar.gz -C /opt
</source>

(replace ''xampp-linux-1.7.4.tar.gz'' with the version of XAMPP you downloaded).

This installs ... Apache2, mysql and php5 as well as an ftp server.

<source lang="bash">
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
</source>

and
<source lang="bash">
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop
</source>

starts/stops all the services

=== Test your XAMPP localhost server ===
Open your Browser and point it to
http://localhost
The index.php will redirect to
http://localhost/xampp

There you will find instructions on how to change default usernames/passwords. On a PC that does not server files to the Internet or LAN then changing the defaults is personal choice.

=== Get Joomla ===
Download the latest Joomla instalation zip [http://www.joomla.org/download.html]

Unzip to your hard drive

Connect to localhost with an FTP client
Default
nobody
lampp

Create a folder for your Joomla on the localhost server

FTP the unpacked Joomla installation files to the newly created Joomla folder.

'''Important:'''
* The XAMPP installation sets the correct Ownership of the files and permissions.
* Using the '''CHOWN command''' will '''cause Ownership problems with xampp'''.
* '''Using nautilus''' to manipulate folders/files on localhost will '''cause Ownership problems with xampp'''.

=== Configure Joomla ===
In your Browser type
http://localhost/yournewjoomlafolder

In the first Joomla installation screen if error reporting is shown as on then:

In your Terminal type
<source lang="bash">
sudo gedit /opt/lampp/etc/php.ini
</source>

In the <tt>php.ini</tt> file, locate
<source lang="ini">
error_reporting =
</source>
And change the value to
<source lang="ini">
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED
</source>

Also locate
<source lang="ini">
display_errors = On
</source>
And change the value to
<source lang="ini">
display_errors = Off
</source>

Stop then restart xampp for the new settings to take effect

FTP layer is NOT needed

'''Database info'''

'''Host''': <code>localhost</code>

'''Database name''': <code>test</code>
:<code>(Xampp will automatically create a database of the name you specify).</code>

'''Default Database user''': <code>root</code>
:There is no Password for '''Database user''': <code>root</code>.

Administrator password is your choice.

Installing Sample Data is recommended for the novice user.

After installation delete the installation directory and point your Browser to:
http://localhost/yournewjoomlafolder
or
http://localhost/yournewjoomlafolder/administrator

=== Create a link in the Ubuntu menu ===
'''To create a GUI for XAMPP connected to your Ubuntu menu'''

Open up the Terminal and type
<source lang="bash">
sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/xampp-control-panel.desktop
</source>

Then copy the following into the gedit and save.

<source lang="ini">
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=XAMPP Control Panel
Comment=Start and Stop XAMPP
Exec=gksudo "python /opt/lampp/share/xampp-control-panel/xampp-control-panel.py"
Icon=/usr/share/icons/Tango/scalable/devices/network-wired.svg
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=GNOME;Application;Network;
StartupNotify=true
</source>

== LaMp ==
You will find instructions on [http://wiki.debian.org/LaMp wiki.debian.org]. Make sure that you have installed bzip2 for extracting the downloaded Joomla! package.

You can check this by the following command:
<source lang="bash">
$ dpkg -l | awk '/^ii bzip2/ {print $1" "$2}'
ii bzip2
</source>

Note that the dollar sign '$' shell prompt is indicating you're a ''regular user''. We will later see a hash mark (#) shell prompt, which indicates that you're the super user ''root'' after issuing an '''su''' or '''sudo'''. The first policy for a secure linux system administration on the command line (but under X also) is to issue commands with the lowest permission as possible.

If bzip2 is not installed, you won't get an output. Then you can quickly install it via aptitude:
<source lang="bash">
$ su -c "aptitude install bzip2"
</source>

Here we see the first command executed with toot permissions, because a regular user is not allowed to install new software. The '-c' option passes the following command to '''su''' and hereafter it terminates instead of switching to a root shell.

=== Configure MySQL ===
It is time to create a database for Joomla! You can do this by the following commmands:
<source lang="bash">
$ mysqladmin -u root -p create joomla
</source>
You may replace ''joomla'' with the name of choice for Joomla!'s database.

Now create a MySQL user different from root for Joomla!'s database
<source lang="bash">
$ mysql -u root -p
mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, INDEX, ALTER, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, LOCK TABLES \
-> ON joomla.* TO 'yourusername'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
</source>

Make sure you replace ''joomla'' with the name of Joomla!'s database from above. Replace ''yourusername'' with the user name you choose for the MySQL user accessing Joomla!'s database, and replace ''yourpassword'' with your password of choice for the MySQL user.

Activate the settings and quit :
<source lang="bash">
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> \q
</source>

After disconnecting from the database server, you should remove the login information of your just new created MySQL user by editing MySQL's history file.
<source lang="bash">
$ vi ~/.mysql_history
</source>

You can use any editor of your choice such as '''nano''', '''vi''' or '''emacs''' that is installed on your system.

=== Get Joomla! source ===
Now it is time to download the Joomla! sources. Currently you will find download links on the [http://joomlacode.org/download.html joomlacode.org] download page. For version 1.5.11, you may do the following from command line, assuming your current working directory is your home folder '''/home/user''':
<source lang="bash">
$ wget http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsrelease/10209/40306/Joomla_1.5.11-Stable-Full_Package.tar.bz2
$ cd /var/www
$ su
# mkdir -m 0755 joomla
# cd joomla
# tar -xvjf /home/user/Joomla_1.5.11-Stable-Full_Package.tar.bz2
</source>

Here is the first time we see this hash mark (#) shell prompt. We call '''su''' without any options, because we want to issue root commands more than only one time. Calling '''su''' that way will prompt us for the super user's password and then change the actual shell environment, repectively $UID and $EUID.

=== Set ownerships and permissions ===
If you want to allow writing in the entire joomla folder, simply do

<source lang="bash">
# chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/joomla
</source>

If you want a more restrictive approach, do this instead:
<source lang="bash">
# chown -R root:root /var/www/joomla
# cd /var/www/joomla
# PLACES='
# administrator/backups
# administrator/components
# administrator/modules
# administrator/templates
# cache
# components
# images
# images/banners
# images/stories
# language
# mambots
# mambots/content
# mambots/editors
# mambots/editors-xtd
# mambots/search
# media
# modules
# templates
# '
# for i in $PLACES; do chown -R www-data:www-data $i; done
</source>

Now set file and directory permissions:
<source lang="bash">
# find /var/www/joomla -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} \;
# find /var/www/joomla -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} \;
</source>

=== Configure Joomla! ===
Open your favourite web-browser, and point it to the page http://localhost/joomla. Replace ''localhost'' with your servers IP or domain name if it you are installing on a remote system.

You will be guided through the final steps of setting up Joomla!, have your MySQL user, password and database name available.

When you reach the final screen with congratulations on installing Joomla!, you should remove the installation directory. From root terminal:
<source lang="bash">
# rm -rf /var/www/joomla/installation/
# exit
$
</source>

And that's it! Now you can login into the admin interface of your fresh installed Joomla! 1.5.9.

== BitNami Joomla! stack ==

=== What is BitNami Joomla! Stack? ===
BitNami Joomla! Stack is an all-in-one installer that makes it easy to install Joomla on your computer. It is free, easy to use and self-contained. That means it bundles and automatically configures every piece of software (dependency) necessary to run Joomla for development or production purposes, including Apache, MySQL and PHP.
You can download the latest version of BitNami Joomla! stack for Windows, Linux and OS X at http://bitnami.org/stack/joomla.

=== Installing Joomla! Stack ===
Regardless of which operating system you are running (Windows / Linux / Mac), the install process is the same.

Download the latest version of Joomla! Stack from the [http://bitnami.org/stack/joomla BitNami website].

Find the installer you just downloaded (the filename will be similar to bitnami-joomla-VERSION-linux-installer.run. Double click on the icon to launch the installer.

[[File:Joomla_welcome.png]]

Type in the name you want to use for your Joomla site, and click "Forward".

[[File:JoomlaReadytoinstall.png]]

The installer is now ready to begin the installation process. Click "Forward".

[[File:JoomlaCopyingfiles.png]]

Wait a minute while the installer copies the files and configures your Joomla! installation.

[[File:Joomlafinalscreen.png]]

Joomla! is now set up and ready to be used. Click "Finish" to launch the application.

Installing Joomla locally

2011-08-04T15:29:24Z

Josue:

If installing on a local computer, there are a number of packages that will help you get set up quicker than individual installations:
* LAMP (Linux) - Most Linux distributions come with a pre-configured LAMP server.
* WAMP (Windows) - For more information, visit http://www.wampserver.com
* MAMP (Macintosh) - For more information, visit http://www.mamp.info
* XAMPP (Multi-platform) - Not for live sites. For more information, visit http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
* BitNami (Multi-platform) - For more information and downloads, visit http://bitnami.org/stack/joomla

If you need other options, we recommend visiting [[jforum:429|our installation forums]] for more information.
