Joomla 1.5 Tutorial - Joomla 1.5 Installation

How to install Joomla 1.5

 

If you have followed our tutorials section, you might already know that Fantastico is really a great tool. It saves a lot of time in installing applications to all of us. For sure, it will save a lot of your time, too. In order to install Joomla 1.5 using Fantastico, you should first login at your cPanel.

It is located at www.yourdomain.com/cpanel.

 

There you should find the blue smiley face icon which is the entrance for Fantastico.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you will see, there are many items in this great tool, however we are going to install only Joomla 1.5 (in this tutorial). You will find a link named Joomla 1.5 in the menu on the left, under the Content Management category:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Click on it and you will be taken to the application's overview page. To proceed with the installation, click the "New Installation" link:

 

 

 

 

 

 

The (normal) Fantastico installation contains three steps. The first one is the most important. There you usually have to fill in the details about your application.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First of all, you should choose an installation directory. If you would like to access your Joomla 1.5 using www.yourdomain.com, you should leave the first field blank. If you would like to access it using http://www.yourdomain.com/joomla15, you should fill the fisrt field with "joomla15" (or substitute with one of your choice) and that's all.

 

Then you have to fill in the administrator login details. In the automated installation, the first user is being created during the process and not after it, as in the manual one.

 

When you are done, click "Install Joomla 1.5" button.

 

 

 

 

 

 

You will be forwarded to a confirmation page. If you need to make any changes of the above configuration, it is just the right time to click back and perform them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you have no changes to perform, just click on the "Finish installation" button and hold your breath.

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the next page loads your Joomla 1.5 installation is completed. You will be provided with all the neccessary login details and you are ready to go.
