I just installed Joomla application into my Synology NAS from the available Package Center and I tried to rename the "joomla" folder inside shared web in File Station. It's failed my Joomla service.
I am able to rename it as "abc" but unfortunately it is effect to my URL when browsing and also to my joomla in Package Center. The Synology Package Center detect as Offline. However after I rename the folder back to from "abc" to "joomla". It getting online as well.
I don't want to use "joomla" folder name. I want to change to another name instead of "joomla". Any body have an experience like this? Can anyone help.

I did the following steps:
I have created a new Umbraco instance by using the nuget package and visual studio.
I have deployed to Azure, using Azure DB as backend.
Installed the articulate package.
Added my project to version control (including App_Plugins folder, articulate dlls and so on).
I am able delete the umbraco installation and I can restore it completely from version control including Articulate.
Now I am starting to add content, articles, pictures and so on.
Think I do not need to backup the whole folder on the web server. I am doing regular backups of my Azure DB and I need some folders which are also filled with new content, like
media (filling with pictures which I am adding to my articles)
App_Plugins (keeping installed packages in umbraco)
App_Data/packages (file directory for installed packages)
App_Data/umbraco.config (keeping some content for Articulate)
So, is this everything I need to be able to restore the whole system by using the version control part, azure db backup and the listed folders?
Ideally for data/contents you should backup media and App_Data folders. However, if you want to backup Umbraco site (including cache files) then I would recommend App_Plugins, App_Data, Bin, Config, Umbraco & Umbraco_Client folders.
Hope this information helps!
Basically I follow the approach as described in the question. I have added the following files and folders to the Visual Studio project and then later to version control (I have just expanded the more interesting folders which are not part of the project file by default, but needed when you redeploy the solution from scratch):
As described the backend is hosted on Azure SQL.
Open Live Writer makes it very easy to host article content on another ftp server.
By following this approach it is very easy to redeploy the complete solution, e.g. for umbraco upgrades or major changes on the site.
I am totally new to this stuff. I have installed Joomla on my windows pc to test my changes to the site before I try them on the actual site and mess things up.
I was given a backup using XCLONER. I installed xcloner but cant seem to restore the website.
I am using XAMPP.
I am also unsure where to place the directory where the restore file should be.
Any help will help. Any tutorials on this? again, just starting out with this stuff.
Thank you in advance.
There are so many references and tutorials out there:
Google
Also Joomla.org has adequate documentation for this.
I can't say exactly about how the XCloner works, but the general steps to replicate Joomla is:
Copy and place the files and folders at the new location
Download the database
Create a new database at the new host (your computer) and import the data from the one you downloaded.
Configure Joomla (configuration.php) to connect to the new local database (host,user, password, prefix -if changed).
At this point you should be able to run your site to the new location, but you probably want to change also the path for logs and tmp folders, to reflect the new location.
I've been working on a website by building it on Joomla. I built it locally with XAMPP and today I copied the files to the directory on the FTP to publish the website and went to the admin panel and there are no plugins or templates, this is weird because I copied the whole folder and imported the database. Already did this twice but it seems to be another error than copy error.
Attention:
I did not install the template and plugins after getting the joomla online, I just copied it to the ftp
Your best bet is to use a tool like Akeeba Backup. This will automate the process and resolve most common issues when moving a Joomla site.
I have a Joomla site running on a windows machine. The site was at 1.6 when some update requests came in. I decided to update the site, but the automated process didn't work, so I started FTPing the files up there manually.
I followed the instructions for the manual upgrade at http://docs.joomla.org/Upgrading_1.6.5_to_1.7 once I got the site to 1.6.5, but my problems had already started before that.
Now when I go to mysite.com/administrator most images are not there and when I try to log in I get kicked up to my site root rather than the /administrator folder. I took the opportunity to look at the code and none of the image src attributes or the form action attributes include "/administrator".
Soooo I need a little advice as to why this is happening. I would rather not have to restore from my backup and start over at 1.6. I was kinda hoping for this to be my first Joomla 3 site. Thanks in advance.
You said that you had trouble with updating Joomla via the admin panel, however did you check if the folders were writable? Site -> System Information -> Directory Permissions Always check this page once you have installed Joomla as it is the reason why a lot of people are unable to install updates or normal extensions.
You then mentioned that you had to upload the files manually via the FTP, however this is not requires. All that is required it to upload the update.zip to the foot of your Joomla site and unzip it.
As for a proper answer, May I suggest that you first update to the Latest version of the 1.6 series (1.6.6), then you download a fresh copy of Joomla 1.6.6, unzip the "administrator" folder, zip that folder, upload via the FTP to your Joomla root folder, then extract it. This will override all the default administrator files.
In the end I had this client move their Joomla install off Windows and onto a Linux machine. Things were just getting worse with the install and I threw in the towel. Thanks to Lodder for trying to help.
This can happen if you are using the JSecure plugin. It requires a token in the URL to enter the admin panel, for example:
http://www.yoursite.com/administrator?token

I was able to fix this by removing the value that I had in the $live_site variable in the configuration.php file. I am also running this on a Windows server.
I don't know how to install Joomla 1.7.3 and it's hard to know from joomla web page. Can anybody tell me how to install joomla 1.7.3 step-by-step.
Thank you
There's an old guide here, although it still mostly applies:
http://help.joomla.org/content/category/15/99/132/
In short: Create a database, Upload the Joomla files, follow the installer. In more detail:
Make sure you meet the system requirements:
http://www.joomla.org/technical-requirements.html
Create a MySQL database (note down the name, username, and password to access it)
Get the Joomla files from here:
http://www.joomla.org/download.html
Upload all the files from that package to your hosting
Browse to your site - the Joomla installer will automatically run. There's a guide for the steps here:
http://docs.joomla.org/Installer
Follow the instructions and fill in the boxes in the Joomla installer.
Once the installation is complete, delete the 'installation' folder (the installer will tell you to do this).
You now have Joomla :)
Have you checked this page? http://docs.joomla.org/Installation
It provides a step by step installation guide, I think it's quite easy to install Joomla. Generally talking, all you have to do is:
Download the latest Joomla version ( I guess you already did this )
Unzip the downloaded file, then copy it into your webroot ( if you have multiple sites, you should create a folder within your webroot dir and copy the files there )
Access via your browser your web dir, and installation process will start.
It's important that you check that your Apache user is able to read and write your Joomla files. If you're using virtual hosts, you should also create and configure the new virtual host.
