Joomla

WHAT IS JOOMLA?

Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular Web site software available. Best of all, Joomla is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone.

What’s a content management system (CMS)?

A content management system is software that keeps track of every piece of content on your Web site, much like your local public library keeps track of books and stores them. Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, or just about anything you can think of. A major advantage of using a CMS is that it requires almost no technical skill or knowledge to manage. Since the CMS manages all your content, you don’t have to.

What are some real world examples of what Joomla! can do?

Joomla is used all over the world to power Web sites of all shapes and sizes. For example:
  • Corporate Web sites or portals
  • Corporate intranets and extranets
  • Online magazines, newspapers, and publications
  • E-commerce and online reservations
  • Government applications
  • Small business Web sites
  • Non-profit and organizational Web sites
  • Community-based portals
  • School and church Web sites
  • Personal or family homepages

Fastest Way to Install Joomla Through SSH

The Joomla archive is a relatively large file base. The Joomla stable version 1.5.15 has:

Uploading all these files via FTP to your remote web host can be slow and painful.

Our proposed faster solution is to install Joomla is via SSH. Here are the exact steps below:

  • Login to your server via SSH and cd to your web folder
  • Grab the latest Joomla stable code base. For example:
wget -c http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsrelease/11396/45610/Joomla_1.5.15-Stable-Full_Package.zip
  • Unzip the archive:
unzip Joomla_1.5.15-Stable-Full_Package.zip
  • Create a MySQL database and a user via PHPMyAdmin. Assign the user permission to the created database only. Note the database name, username and password.
  • Run the Joomla installer by visiting the folder where you unzipped the archive via browser. 
For example: http://www.example.com/joomla/. Follow the on-screen Joomla installation steps. Use the database login information from the step above.
  • Once the installation is complete, remove the following:
rm -rf installation
rm Joomla_1.5.15-Stable-Full_Package.zip
That’s it. You should now have a live Joomla site ready for publishing.
