Joomla! is an open-source content management system (CMS) that allows you to create dynamic websites and powerful online applications. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Joomla! on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before you start, make sure you have the following:
Joomla! is a PHP-based application, and it requires a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack. You can install the LAMP stack on EndeavourOS Latest using the following command:
sudo pacman -S apache php php-apache mariadb
After the installation, you will need to start and enable the Apache webserver and MariaDB database service. Use the following commands for that:
sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
Before you can install Joomla!, you need to create a MySQL database and user for it. You can do this with the following commands:
sudo mysql -u root
This will start the MySQL shell. Now, execute the following commands inside the shell to create a new database, user, and grant all privileges to the user on the database:
CREATE DATABASE joomla_db;
CREATE USER 'joomla_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON joomla_db.* TO 'joomla_user'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Note - replace 'joomla_user' and 'password' with your desired username and password.
Download the latest version of Joomla! from the official website:
wget https://downloads.joomla.org/cms/joomla3/3-10-3/Joomla_3-10-3-Stable-Full_Package.zip
Then, extract the archive to the Apache webserver root directory:
sudo unzip Joomla_3-10-3-Stable-Full_Package.zip -d /srv/http/
Make sure that the http directory is owned by the Apache web server and your user has read and write access:
sudo chown -R http:http /srv/http/
sudo chmod -R 755 /srv/http/
Now it's time to configure Joomla!. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/ or http://SERVER_IP/ (replace SERVER_IP with the IP address of your server). You should see the Joomla! installation wizard.
Select the desired language and click "Next". Then, check the pre-installation status and click "Next" again. On the "Database Configuration" page, enter the following details:
MySQLilocalhostjoomla_userpasswordjoomla_dbClick "Next" and enter the site and admin details. Finally, click "Install" to complete the installation process.
Once the installation is complete, you can access your Joomla! website by navigating to http://localhost/ or http://SERVER_IP/ on your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Joomla! on EndeavourOS Latest. You are now ready to create a dynamic content management system and powerful online application with Joomla!.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
