Running Joomla
Appserver.io is a cool and sophiscated infrastructure fully built upon the PHP
stack. This makes it truely easy to develop and extend the platform. Appserver.io
comes with an built in webserver module with PHP-FPM therefore it is possible to
install any PHP-App and run it on that platform. The following guide shows how easy
it is to install appserver.io on a Mac and run Wordpress.
Prerequisite: Up and running installation of MySQL
You will need a running installation of appserver.io (>= Version 1.0.0). If you are
new to this project you can easily download and follow the installation guide for your
specific OS.
After the setup has finished the appserver.io is up and running and you can call
the welcome page with
http://localhost:9080/
By default, appserver.io is configured to run on port 9080 in order to not to affect
any existing webserver installations. You can easily change that in the
/opt/appserver/etc/appserver.xml just by going to section
<server name="http" ...
and change the port within that section for example to 80. After that restart the
appserver.io which can be done with the following command.
sudo /opt/appserver/sbin/appserverctl restart
Of course there is no need to change the port if you only want to check out the
capabilities of this amazing platform.

Installation:In order to run the application on appserver.io, download the latest joomla release
from joomla.org.
To install joomla there are now two options. The easiest way is to install joomla
without creating a vhost. Therefore just unpack the joomla source into your
Webrootfolder which in case of the appserver is always the webapps folder
underneath /opt/appserver/webapps/. In that folder you will still find the already
installed example app and of course the welcome page. Just create a folder named
„joomla“ and unpack the source there.
After successfully unpacking the joomla sources you are able to use the joomla
webinstaller just by open a browser and calling the URL
http://127.0.0.1:9080/joomla/. Before you you start the installation it is necessary to
correct the rights of the joomla folder to ensure joomla is able to write the
configuration.
chmod -R 775 /opt/appserver/webapps/joomla/
Now you are free to step through the installation wizard and therefore it is
necessary to create a MySQL database. To create a database you can use the MySQL
command line or just use another database administration tool like phpMyAdmin. Of
course you can also install phpMyAdmin on appserver.io. Just read the tutorial.
To create the database by the command line just use the following line
mysql -uroot -p
On the MySQL command line it is easy to create an empty database. Just use the
following command.
CREATE DATABASE joomla;
Now you are ready to install joomla. Just follow the install wizard.

Installing with Virtual Host
To run a virtual host simply follow the steps below. As with any other Webserver
using a vhost you have to add the domain you like to use in your hosts file first.
sudo vi /etc/hosts
Add the following lines:
127.0.0.1 joomla.local::1 joomla.localfe80::1%lo0 jomla.local
Afterwards add the vhost to the webserver config of the appserver which you also
find in /opt/appserver/etc/appserver/conf.d/virtual-hosts.xml. There is
already an example virtual host configuration available. Add the following
configuration within the tag.
<virtualHost name="joomla.local"> <params> <param name="admin" type="string">[email protected]</param> <param name="documentRoot" type="string">webapps/joomla</param> </params></virtualHost>
After adding the Vhost, restart the appserver and start with the Installation as
described at the beginning of this tutorial
sudo /opt/appserver/sbin/appserverctl restart
