RequirementsRequirementsRequirementsRequirements

Minimum RequirementsMinimum RequirementsMinimum RequirementsMinimum Requirements

You must already have a working installation of a CMS to install Jomres onto. Jomres by default supports all current versions of Joomla. - PHP 5.3.x or above - MySQL 4.1 or above - Apache 1.13.19 or above - GD needs to be enabled.

PHP SettingsPHP SettingsPHP SettingsPHP Settings

Most of the time installation problems are due to limited resources, for example on shared hosting servers. Here's an overview of the PHP configuration settings you should check and increase, if needed.

SettingSettingSettingSetting

DescriptionDescriptionDescriptionDescription

post_max_size

Amount of data in a single form submission using the POST method.

upload_max_filesize

Size of an individual file uploaded.

max_execution_time

Time in seconds a script is allowed to run before it is terminated by the parser.

memory_limit

Amount of memory in bytes that a script is allowed to allocate.

You may need to allocate more resources for PHP by modifying the php.ini file directly. If this is not possible, you can try setting the PHP settings through a .htaccess file on your webserver. Though this also depends on your hosting server, if it allows the usage of .htaccess overrides. To change the PHP configuration through the php.ini file, use the following syntax. # example of recommended settings post_max_size = 8M upload_max_filesize = 8M max_execution_time = 60 memory_limit = 128M To change the PHP configuration through a .htaccess file, use the following syntax.

File PermissionsFile PermissionsFile PermissionsFile Permissions

After installing the template your website stays blank, just because your Stylesheets and JavaScripts aren't loaded? This might because the webserver is unable to access these files. Make sure that you have set the right file permission to the following directories used by the template Permissions are inherited from the parent folder. If you set the specific template folder (e.g. /templates/ospt3map) and all sub files/folders to the correct permission but the whole Joomla media folder has lower permissions it will not work. Best way is to alter the permissions of the top level folder. Sometimes Joomlas root directory has too low permissions and you wonder why it is not working.... Note:Note:Note:Note: Always avoid 777 permissions. If your webserver has problems with the CHMOD 755, you can also try 775 and lastely 777 in this order.

Changing files permissionChanging files permissionChanging files permissionChanging files permission

So how do you change the permissions for files and directories? Here are two step-by-step guides. 1. Using your FTP client1. Using your FTP client1. Using your FTP client1. Using your FTP client Open your FTP client or if you don't have any download FileZilla and install it. Use your FTP client to login to your server and browse to your webroot directory. Right click on a directory which you want to change the permissions on and click File Permissions.... The Change File Attributes dialog, let's you check the options as shown below or type a numeric value like 755. Make sure the Recurse into subdirectories option is checked. Then hit the OK button.

Page 7: Table of ContentsTable of Contentsosproperty.ext4joomla.com/OS_Transparent.pdf · Table of ContentsTable of Contents Table of ContentsTable of Contents..... .....2222

Tip: After applying new permissions some FTP clients require the file view to be refreshed. Otherwise the old permissions will continue to show... Note:Note:Note:Note: Using a FTP client may also change file ownership to the FTP user of the files/directories you changed the permissions on. This can cause problems on some webservers. To avoid this you can use a Joomla component like eXtplorer to update the permission through the Joomla administration. 2. Using the eXtplorer Jo2. Using the eXtplorer Jo2. Using the eXtplorer Jo2.

Installing Joomla! for the first time is very easy. Joomla!'s built-in web installer makes setting up your new site a breeze. Before we start installing Joomla!, there are a couple prerequisites that need to be met to install Joomla! successfully. These apply whether you have a dedicated server, a shared hosting plan, or are installing a copy on a local computer for testing or development.

You'll need to meet the following requirements below to install and use Joomla! 3.x

1. References1. References1. References1. References

Downloading and Uploading Joomla! Package Files 1. Download the current release of Joomla! 3.x 2. Create a database for use with Joomla! You will need to note basic database

information needed when the actual Joomla! installation is started.

• Location of datase, localhost? Or a specific host's server such as http://dbserver1.yourhost.com

• The database name

• The database user's name

• The database user's password 3. Move the downloaded Joomla! installation package to the server. Use a FTP Client to

transfer the Joomla! 3.0 files to your server. If you don't already have an FTP client, we recommend Filezilla

HintHintHintHint - This can be accomplished by simply moving the downloaded package to your server, then unpacking it. Or you can unpack the files on your local computer, then move the Joomla installation over to your server. Either way, the Joomla installation needs to be unpacked in the root of your site. If you unpack the files on your own computer, then copy them to your server, be sure to move only the folders and files contained INSIDE the Joomla! package. If you unpack the folders and files into a folder, for example called, Joomla and then upload that folder, your site will have to be accessed at yoursitename.com/Joomla instead of yoursitename.com.

With the above requirements met, a database created and the required Joomla! files in place, you are ready to install Joomla!. Start the Joomla! web installer by browsing to the site's domain name, www.yoursitename.com and you should see:

Joomla! will try to identify the Select LanguageSelect LanguageSelect LanguageSelect Language field automatically from your browser's language. You can change this if needed. Fill in the following information.

• Site NameSite NameSite NameSite Name: The name of your website — this can be changed at any point later in the Site Global Configuration page.

• DescriptionDescriptionDescriptionDescription: Enter a description of the website. This is a the global fallback meta description used on every page which will be used by search engines. Generally, a maximum of 20 to 25 words is optimal. Again, this can be changed on the Site Global Configuration page at any time. For more on metadata, see Global Metadata Settings and Entering search engine meta-data.

• Admin Email AddressAdmin Email AddressAdmin Email AddressAdmin Email Address: The admin email address. Enter a valid email in case you forget your password. This is the email address where you'll receive a link to change the admin password.

• Admin UsernameAdmin UsernameAdmin UsernameAdmin Username: Joomla! uses a default "admin" as the username for the Super UserSuper UserSuper UserSuper User. You can leave it as is, change it now(which a good Security measure) or use My Profile in the Administration interface to change it later.

• Admin PasswordAdmin PasswordAdmin PasswordAdmin Password: Remember that super user has maximum control of the site (front-end & backend), so try to use a difficult password. Use My Profile in the Administration interface to change it later. Confirm the password in the ConfirmConfirmConfirmConfirm Admin Password Admin Password Admin Password Admin Password box.

• Site OfflineSite OfflineSite OfflineSite Offline: Click the Yes or No box. Yes - this means when installation is complete, your Joomla! website will display the 'Site is offline message' when you browse to yoursitename.com to view the home page. No - this means the site is live when you browse to yoursitename.com to view the home page. You can use the Site Global Configuration in the Administration interface to change the Offline status at any time.

When everything on the first page is completed, click the next buttonnext buttonnext buttonnext button to proceed:

You will need the information about the database which was suggested above to note.

For simplification, these intructions are a reference to installing with a MySQLi database. The instructions on the installation page are self explanatory, but here they are again:

• Database TypeDatabase TypeDatabase TypeDatabase Type: MySQLi is the common database used

• HostnameHostnameHostnameHostname: Where is your database located? Common is localhost, but some hosts use a specific database server such as dbserver1.yourhost.com

• UsernameUsernameUsernameUsername: The username used to connect to the database

• PasswordPasswordPasswordPassword: The password for the database's username

• Database NameDatabase NameDatabase NameDatabase Name: The name of the database

• Table PrefixTable PrefixTable PrefixTable Prefix: One is generated automatically, but you can change it. For example, jos3_ can be used. Just don't forget to put the underscore character(_) at the end of the prefix.

• Old Database ProceOld Database ProceOld Database ProceOld Database Processssssss: Should the installer backup or delete existing tables during the installation of new tables? Click, Yes or No to select the choice.

All these choices can be edited on the Site Global Configuration page, under Server options after the installation is completed. Note, you will break your installation if you change these settings after installation unless you have a complete copy of the current database being used
