Joomla Tutorial Series: How to Install Joomla 1.5

This tutorial is the first series from Joomla Tutorial Series I have plan to write. This joomla tutorial translate are slightly different from the indonesian, because my English not good at all.
The joomla we use here is new joomla stable version, version 1.5.x. The litle x mean the minor release of current joomla. Today, when I write this tutorial, the minor release is Joomla 1.5.2.
What is Joomla?
As far as I know:

Joomla! is a free open source framework and content publishing system designed for quickly creating highly interactive multi-language Web sites, online communities, media portals, blogs and eCommerce applications.
Joomla! provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface that simplifies the management and publishing of large volumes of content including HTML, documents, and rich media. Joomla! is used by organisations of all sizes for Public Web sites, Intranets, and Extranets and is supported by a community of thousands of users.

So, joomla is smart cms we use for everything, its up to you what you use joomla for.Although joomla is multi-purpose content publishing system for websites, joomla is not suitable enough to be comfortable blog engine. In this case, I prefer wordpress than joomla.

Joomla Pre-Installation
Before we use joomla, we need to install it first. Before installation we will need:

1. Apache Web Server. Better if we have rewrite module for SEO, and others to improve joomla power.
2. MySQL Database. MySQL is optimized database for joomla. You can use another databases, but we need extra work and setup for it. MySQl is the best.
3. A copy of Joomla installer. Go get it here, if you dont ready have one.

If you have buy a commercial webserver, you can use fantastico tool through your cpanel, instead do manual install as we discuss here. If you do, then this tutorial dont give advantage too much for you.
The next, open your browser, my favorite is Firefox. Open your phpmyadmin page. if you use LAMPP like me, open it here: http://localhost/phpmyadmin/.Crete a new database by type it new name. For example, I use ltguide as new database name.


Installing Joomla
I have installing joomla in my local webserver. I extract the joomla installer in usermode.web.id directory. After extracting, please open your browser and go to http://localhost/usermode.web.id or wherever you extracting joomla before.

The first step is to choose installation language to use. Please choose the suit language from the list.

Second step is to check your web server requirements that meet joomla. If you see the green color words written, that mean you pass for the requirements. Otherwise, red color mean the requirements must be corrected before we go to next step. For example, if your register globals on your php requirement is red (on), open your php.ini configuration file and toggle it to off.
Third step is to accept the joomla aggrement and license. If you dont agree, please close your browser and dont install joomla.

Fourth step is configure the database. Joomla will ask for database server address, username and password to use. In local webserver, I think its not difficult. The problems will appear if you enter unassigned or different username for database. So, make sure the database and the username, also password is match and assigned.

Fifth step is configure ftp layer. This joomla feature important for maintain file and folder. You need it to let joomla configure the right permission for better security issues. If you want to do it manually, dont enable it and let it empty. Before go to next step, may you want to test the FTP connection setting, push the “Verify FTP Settings” button.

Sixth step is configuring you website. Enter your website name, password and email addres to use and then if you are new to joomla, may you need to installing the sample data. The default sample data contain some informations and mini howto from joomla developer.

Finish!, congratulation! Now you have a fresh joomla powered website.

If you want to access your administration panel, you can acces it on http://localhost/instalasi_joomla/administrator.

After installation, is a good practice to change the configuration.php file permission in your root directory and to delete the installation folder.

OK, this is the end of first series of Joomla Tutorial Series. The next series, we will discuss about how to create menu, content, and managing modules.

Tutorial Download From Rapidshare

Ok since so many peoples are just coming in here asking how to download
or how to use the content you download, I decided to make a little
guide, if anything is wrong in the informations I am providing, Please
feel free to correct me.



First of all, Most of the download out there for EVERYONE are
Rapidshare/Megaupload/Others. I will explain here how to use Rapidshare
and Megaupload since they are the most commons.



RAPIDSHARE

There are usually many rapidshare links provided with a file, this is
due to a file splitting since rapidshare only support files of 100mb
and less for free users.

When you get on the page of something you want, you'll get something
like this. (THIS IS AN EXAMPLE ONLY, I DID NOT EVEN PUT ALL THE LINKS
TO SAVE SOME SPACE)
Now let's say you wanna start downloading it, copy the first link, and
paste it in your browser. It'll send you on Rapidshare page.



STEP 1.

Scroll down the page till you see this:





You see where it's written click here? Click there, but on YOUR page,
not on the forum picture. (Just for the really unsmarts of us)



STEP 2.

Now that you're on the new page, scroll down till you see this:





Follow the instructions and then you can click on Download via...(From
where you download doesn't really matters, what is written after via
doesn't really matter either so just click on download.)



STEP 3.

Now to download a file... Some of you might not know how so here you go!





Quite simple





Repeat these steps till you get all the parts of your file. After
you're done downloading, comes the unpacking step which is explained
DOWN THERE, Keep scrolling down the page, It's explained after the
Megaupload section.



NOTICE: You can only download 1 file per 2 hours if you are using the free service, there are 4 ways to bypass this check.



1. If you are with a ISP providing dynamic ips, you can reboot your
modem to get a new ip. "How do I know if my ISP is dynamic ips?". Doh,
Reboot your modem and test it.



2. Use a proxy, I don't have a guide on how to use a proxy so if anyone feels like making one, go ahead.



3. Buy a premium account.it is a best way
