PASOS PARA INSTALAR JOOMLA

Requerimientos Hosting Installing Joomla! for the first time is very

easy. Joomla!’s built-in web installer makes setting up your new site a breeze.

Before we start installing Joomla!, there are a couple prerequisites that need to be met to install Joomla! 3.2 successfully. These apply whether you have a dedicated server, a shared hosting plan server, or are installing a copy on a local computer for testing or development

You’ll need to meet the following requirements

below to install and use Joomla! 3.2 

PREPARE FOR INSTALL You will need to complete two tasks

before you can install Joomla! on your server. First, you will need to download the Joomla! package files. Next, you will need to have a database for Joomla! use.

Downloading and Uploading Joomla! Package Files

Download the current release of Joomla! 3.2 Move the downloaded Joomla! installation package

to the server. Use a FTP Client to transfer the Joomla! 3.0 files to your server. If you don’t already have an FTP client, we recommend Filezilla

Hint - This can be accomplished by simply moving the downloaded package to your server, then unpacking it. Or you can unpack the files on your local computer, then move the Joomla installation over to your server. Either way, the Joomla installation needs to be unpacked in the root of your site

Warning! If you unpack the files on your own

computer, then copy them to your server, be sure to move only the folders and files contained INSIDE the Joomla! package. If you unpack the folders and files into a folder, for example called, Joomla and then upload that folder, your site will have to be accessed at yoursitename.com/Joomla instead of yoursitename.com.

Database for Joomla! Installation

If you need to create a database, please read "Create a database for use with Joomla!" first or skip to step #2.

You will need to note basic database information needed when the actual Joomla! installation is started.› Location of datase, localhost? Or a specific host's

server such as dbserver1.yourhost.com› The database name› The database user's name› The database user's password

Start the install | Main Configuration

With the above requirements met, a database created and the required Joomla! files in place, you are ready to install Joomla!. Start the Joomla! web installer by opening your favorite browser and browsing to the site's domain name. On host installation you will use http://www.yoursitename.com. If your are installing Joomla! locally, you will use http://localhost/<path to joomla files>, and you should see the installation screen.

Start the install | Main Configuration

Joomla! will try to identify the Select Language field automatically from your browser's language. You can change this if needed..

Database Configuration

Table Prefix: One is generated automatically, but you can change it. For example, jos3_ can be used. Just don't forget to put the underscore character(_) at the end of the prefix.

WARNING

All these choices can be edited on the Site Global Configuration page, under Server options after the installation is completed. Note, you will break your installation if you change these settings after installation unless you have a complete copy of the current database being used by the Joomla! installation. Common uses would be to update the username and password of the database or to complete a move of an existing installation to a new host with different parameters.
