Topic: Joomla Install Help

[imcintyre]

I have tried to install Joomla with mixed results and am asking for help.

I used two methods

1) I followed the directions at "http://wiki.contribs.org/Joomla". It seemed to work fine but I had a problem with changing the language etc. I figured that there were permission problems. So I "yum remove smeserver-joomla"

2) I tried to follow the dungog instructions but this went off the rails. I opened up SME Server Manager and looking in the "Software Installer" tab see the SME Server 7 Dungog repository is enabled.

[root@myserver1 ~]# yum install joomla smeserver-joomla

If I missed something in the above I would appreciate a nudge in the correct direction..

Furthermore, I find the following instructions in the Dungog instructions a bit cryptic.
" For new installs [;\ lets you copy and paste in one go]
touch /opt/joomla/configuration.php ;\
chmod 660 /opt/joomla/configuration.php ;\
chown www.www /opt/joomla/configuration.php

yes this is a pain, but it now won't be overwritten on upgrades

nano /opt/joomla/globals.php, edit 1 to 0 if required
define( 'RG_EMULATION', 0 );
(why does it ship this way ??)"

What are comments and what goes into the command line?

Thanks for your patience and in advance for your help.

Are you sure your dungog repo is enabled?

You could also try:

yum --enablerepo=dungog install joomla smeserver-joomla

Afterwards this is what you should paste at command line:
1)
touch /opt/joomla/configuration.php ;\
chmod 660 /opt/joomla/configuration.php ;\
chown www.www /opt/joomla/configuration.php

2)
nano /opt/joomla/globals.php
(then change define( 'RG_EMULATION', 0 ) from 1 to 0 )

3)
now you have to go to www.yoursite.com/joomla and follow the wizard (username joomla, databasename joomla) and get the database password with:
config show joomla (which you also paste at command line)

4)
at last you paste at command line:
rm -rf /opt/joomla/installation

Done!

Thx, The first command worked.
What about the second line "(then change define( 'RG_EMULATION', 0 ) from 1 to 0 )", is this part of the "nano..." or just a comment?

Install complete thx

Yes rehashing this old post, but FYI

I followed the instructions in the Contribs.org,
Then simply opened the terminal on the SME server, or logged in ssh remotely and pasted #1 from above and now I can changed the language in joomla etc.
