Description
With this RPM you can use the popular Content-Management-System (CMS) Joomla on your SME 7.x. You can install it as one single package in a very comfortable way. For more information see http://www.joomla.org/.
Installation and Uninstall
Initially check the current version available from http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/dberteld/joomla/ which at the time of writing is smeserver-joomla-1.5.1-2.noarch.rpm
Download and install using the following commands (Please remember to replace the version number in the command with the currently available version number or the download will fail)
cd /tmp wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/dberteld/joomla/smeserver-joomla-1.5.1-2.noarch.rpm yum localinstall smeserver-joomla*.rpm
For uninstall use the following command
rpm -e smeserver-joomla
You can ignore the yum-comments signal event post-upgrade and signal-event reboot.
Use
You can find joomla in the /opt/joomla directory. For using Joomla start your browser with the URL http://servername/joomla and logon with the user admin + password admin as administrator.
Redirection
If you want to redirect your joomla installation to your favorite URL, use this Redirection Tutorial.
Configuration
Initial configuration (in the Joomla control panel) requires permissions on the configuration.php file to be made web accessible. This should only be done temporarily as anyone can have access to the file when it is in web accessible write mode.
cd to the folder where configuration.php is located eg if in /opt/joomla then do
cd /opt/joomla
or if installed to an ibay
cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/joomla/html/
to see the current permissions (and you should make a note of them)
ls -al configuration.php
to TEMPORARILY change to a suitable value to allow Joomla control panel to make and save changes
chmod 770 configuration.php
Then make & save your changes in Joomla
Then you MUST change permissions back to safe values to prevent anyone from accessing the config file eg
chmod 640 configuration.php
Have much fun with Joomla as your preferred CMS !
