How to import my external joomla website(saved in folder) to another newly installed joomla in localhost without any joomla extension?
Copy the template, import the data via the database (SQL-import) and modify your configuration.php in root folder for new connection.
Thats it in most cases, just try and tell us if something went wrong.

Good day
I require some help with this issue. I'm not sure if it's possible.
I purchased a new template for my site. This template has a "quick start" option where it unpacks the full template into your local joomla install for easy configuration of the articles, modules etc. Everything is already in place.
My site has been live almost a year now so there is quite a lot of things in the database etc. I downloaded the site from cPanel and installed locally using Akeeba Backup. Now, instead of installing the new template on my old site, isn't there a way I can copy all the tables in the DB from the old site into the new quick start template?
I've tried it in phpmyadmin but it says I can't import the table from the site into the new template since they have the same name.
I hope this made sense. Basically I want to export old site database using phpmyadmin, then import into the database of the new quickstart template. Is this possible?
You can use SP Upgrade https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/sp-upgrade/
for transfer your data into the new site with same version of joomla.
I'm trying to copy website made in Magento in my localhost and finished another steps:
copied whole website via flash drive,
import database from server,
change parameters for database in local.xml (post root for user and
empty field for password),
clear cache in Magento var folder,
change base_url value in database
When I try to open it in browser, Homepage looks ok, but any link in page give me Error 404 - Object not found. I can't access to admin panel. Anything what I type URL after localhost/nameOfMyProject, I get Error 404.
I have another Magento project in my localhost and they work correctly, but that I installed from fresh Magento installation and then add new themes for that.
Here is different situation. I need to add whole existing project from server in localhost. I can't add this website on same way, because developer who made it changed files into core section. Project is too big it's not possible at the moment to change that, so any way is to download whole project in localhost.
Does anyone has some suggestion what to do?
If you are using XAMPP or WAMP as your web server, you may face a common problem that is the rewrite module (mod_rewrite) does not work properly. It is because the rewrite module is not enabled by default in Apache’s configuration settings. But you can enable it manually by following some simple steps:
1- Open apache’s configuration file using your favorite text editor. The configuration file is generally located at:
{apache_dir}/conf/httpd.conf
If you are using XAMPP or WAMP package then you will find the file at:
{xampp_dir}/apache/conf/httpd.conf
{wamp_dir}/apache/conf/httpd.conf
2- Search for the following string:#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so and uncomment it (remove the ‘#’ sign).
3- Now search for another string AllowOverride None and replace it by AllowOverride All
4- Finally save the changes, close your text editor and restart your apache server.
I'm using Joomla 2.5 and the backend is not shown correctly. It seems that the template is not loaded correctly.
This is my page:
http://www.fussball.tsg-kastel.de/administrator/
The page as such is shown correctly but as you see, the backend isn't...
Try doing this:
Rename the admin templates folder on the host server (for a backup)
FTP transfer of an admin template folder from another Joomla site and then copy it from the FTP location using a file manager into the admin templates folder.
You could have a corrupt file or just missing some files from installation. This has happened to people before and by doing these two steps it seemed to solve their issue.
Hope this works out for you.
You probably have a fatal error. Go to configuration.php and change error reporting to development. This will render the error to the browser (alternatively check your apache error log). I predict you probably have a plugin problem -- perhaps your host updated PHP version for example. Whatever it is, deal with that problem.
I have a website created using joomla 3.0 (bitnami on amazon aws). I want to publish few files (html) from the website and was wondering how to do it ? Ideally I want to keep those htmls under /opt/bitnami/apps/joomla/htdocs/storage/matrix.html and then access it from my site using url : /storage/matrix.html
Any clues ?
I found the solution myself after trying out a few things. What I did was created a new directory called storage under htdocs (of my joomla installation) and then also copied a htaccess.txt file inside it (from another public folder). And that's it ! This directory is now public and I can access it like I wanted !
So i have a client, who has a disc of an entire site. Root server files, all the way to /httphome/ files...
However, it looks like it was created using Joomla. Now, i know my HTMl and CSS but have never used a CMS like Joomla.
To get this site up and running, am i going to have to install Joomla on my clients server, and then upload the files?
i am going to assume its not that easy.... anyone got any insight into this process and what im looking at?
thanks
Keep in mind that Joomla content resides in a MySql database.
You need the following:
Database export
Create a DB on you MySQL server
Upload the files
Edit configuration.php to work with you db and also set your path there
Also, some components might need some more setup, as some of them have their own cfg files.
To get this site up and running (if the file is really the entire site) should be as simple as setting up a web server and pointing it to the directory with the index in it. Joomla should already be in that file. Let me know if i can elaborate on the process.
Since you are new to Joomla, you might want to try loading the disc contents up on your localhost first. Personally, when I'm trying something new, I hate for my first attempts to be somewhat public - I always feel a little safer if I do the first install someplace local where I'm the only person who can see it.
Best of luck with your project! If you run into any problems, or if you want to confirm that the site is definitely Joomla, let us know and we will get you sorted out.
Do you have the related database? The files that make up Joomla are useless without the database. You could install Joomla and upload your files over the top, but any database changes made by any installed extensions wouldn't be made to that install. You'd also be missing all of the actual site content without the database.
If you do have the database, then all you need to do is import the database in you your mySQL, then upload the files you have on the disc and edit configuration.php file with the new database user and password.
