Hello All,
To Answer the easy ones first the Joomla Starter Kit which will soon be the 123webkit is a deployment server not a production server.
Q: Can it be made into a production server?
A: Yes but you would have to have good knowledge of httpd.conf and some type of DNS Pointer and binding IP's to your
windows box it not that hard but there are a lot of variable's.
Installing multiple copies of Joomla.Path c:\JoomlaStarterKit\htdocs\So now unzip your zip file tool makes a folder named “Joomla_1.X-Stable”
Just rename it to myJoomla or whatever.
Well you need a few more steps.
But we need to take few steps to make it happen.
We need a new database.
But to make this short I’m going to do this low-tech but easy way.
We are going to make a database by hand this is crazy but it works like clockwork.
Please note: that its not professional way but it will get the job done for a newbie.
Change directories to this path c:\JoomlaStarterKit\mysql\data\
This is the database container folder for Mysql database server.
Just make a windows folder and call it “myJoomla” or whatever
Now you have your new Joomla install ready.
To install Joomla open your web browser and type
http://localhost/myJoomla/Now you see the Joomla install wizard.
Go thur the wizard till you get to database part.
Host Name:
Type>: localhost
Mysql User Name:
Type>: root
Mysql password:
There is not one set to make it easy.
Mysql Database Name:
Type>: myJoomla
Mysql Table Prefix:
leave as is!
You will see three check boxes:
If you want sample data check the box install sample data.
Go thur the wizard.
Pick an easy password to start. Like admin
now you get to the end.
Your going to have to delete the install folder in the myJoomla folder.
Path c:\JoomlaStarterKit\htdocs\myJoomla
Inside look for the "installation" folder delete or rename it.
Open your web browser and type
http://localhost/myJoomla/or
http://localhost/myJoomla/administrator/Like Magic your done with a new install.
This could be done 50 times just don’t name the folders in htdoccs or database the same.
This would also work most web apps not just Joomla.
Each install most have a unique name.
Updates:
You can update the Joomla install be overwriting the installed files
with the new version. this will not work with Joomla 1.5.
