Joomla Installation

The first part shows up as:

Joomla Screen 1

Screen 2

Figure 2

Enter the command (run):
$ touch configuration.php


To create the configuration file. Then grant the web server permission to update it with:
$ chmod o+w configuration.php

Then grant the account the webserver is running under (or any user) the following permissions:


$ chmod -R o+w administrator/backups/
$ chmod -R o+w administrator/componenets/
$ chmod -R o+w administrator/modules/
$ chmod -R o+w administrator/templates/
$ chmod -R o+w cache/
$ chmod -R o+w components/
$ chmod -R o+w images/
$ chmod -R o+w language/
$ chmod -R o+w mambots/
$ chmod -R o+w media/
$ chmod -R o+w modules/
$ chmod -R o+w templates/

Selecting next brings up Figure 3.

Selecting next (twice) passes by the GNU License for Joomla, and goes right to the database configuration screen (Figure 4).

The final step requires removing the installation directory, which can be done with
$ rm -r installation

Good luck
