How to start new Joomla project under same joomla installation? - joomla

I have installed XAMPP and installed Joomla under it using Bitnami Joomla installer in my local pc. I have already created a project and now I want to create a new Joomla project but can't find an option.
How do I do this

You can simply create a new folder within your current Joomla installation, extract and Joomla package there and run the installation.
What I currently tend to do is never use the root for any work. So my folder structure would look like this:
> xampp/wamp root
> Joomla install 1
> Joomla install 2
> Joomla install 3

Which install-folder should I delete after installing Umbraco 7.4.3

According to the umbraco installation guide it is highly recommended that you delete the "install"-folder to prevent it from being accidently deployed to production.
I have installed Umbraco as a NuGet Package in Visual Studio but there are 3 install folders that I can find; one in the "Umbraco" folder, one in "Umbraco\Views" and one in "App_Data\Temp". Can someone tell me which one I should delete, or maybe all of them?
After the installation is complete you only need to delete the install folder which is located under the umbraco folder.
This contains the contents of the installation process.
The install folder under umbraco/Views only contains the html of the installation process.
You can remove this also but its not neccessary.
If you look in the install folder under App_Data/TEMP then this will be empty after the installation is completed.
You can remove this also but again its not neccessary.
You have to delete only install folder in the root. Another install folders should be removed automatically. Basically on latest Umbraco versions even root install folder is removing while install proces.

mamp install and joomla

Using Yosemite on Mac installing Mamp and Mamp pro and trying to see the way it works as a unit. Can I just drag it into the folder as shown or must I upload it via the application? The download did not dialogue where the install sh/b put for the first option. Suggest that sh/b clarified at outset.
Take this steps:
1 - Install the Mamp (copy to application folder)
2 - Open the application folder, right click on Mamp and click on "show package contents". I think the below path is your root folder of web (www)
/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/
3 - copy your joomla files in this folder and rename it to something easier ("joomla" for example)
4 - open the Mamp application and start your web server (apache I think)
5 - Access the installer by the name of folder in "htdocs". for example:
http://localhost/joomla

Install Mercury after XAMPP installation

I have initially installed XAMPP without checking the Mercury installation.
Of course, the module shows-up in the XAMPP Control panel but is disabled and there is no mean to install it from there. How should I do without re-installing the whole XAMPP package?
For who would be interested (that applies to any not-initially-installed module of XAMPP package):
create a folder inside xampp, e.g. \xampp\mercury. In windows it should be "MercuryMail".
download mercury from here: http://www.pmail.com/downloads_s3_t.htm
during installation, point to the \xampp\mercury\ folder.
edit the file \xampp\xampp-control.ini:
[EnableModules]->Mercury=1
[BinaryNames]->Mercury=mercury.exe
Reload XAMPP Control panel
That's all!

joomla extensions zip then uninstall then install

I have been writing my own joomla extension and I am finding it annoying that every change I make, I have to zip my package up again, then uninstall the old one, then install my new package. I know I can edit in the joomla directory but is there a better way? Has someone already written something to take care of this? Thank you
This is Joomla 1.5
You can install your extension once and then can make changes in code in files of your extension. You need to not to uninstall or install it again.
Or
use <install type="component" version="1.5.0" method="upgrade"> this line of code in XML file of your extension installer. Then you need not to uninstall the extension, just install it over existing. It will over-write the files of installed extension with new one.
Once your component is installed Joomla puts your component files in the correct directories. You just need to replace those files with the ones you have made changes on either via FTP or on your local computer if you have Joomla running locally.

Magento: which folder can I see my installed extensions?

I have installed an extension in magento 1.5. Just wondering where it is on my server because i want to write an include file to it. Thanks
typically in [MagentoFolder]/app/code/community/[SomeCompanyName]/[SomePackageName]
(otherwise, instead of "community" it could be "local").
For the location of Magento itself on your server, that depends on where you installed it! :)
The extension can either be in one of the following directory:
[YourMagentoFolder]/app/code/local/
OR,
[YourMagentoFolder]/app/code/community/
Here is the list of folder structure for all the files that can be in a Magento extension:- Magento Folder Structure
[magento folder]/app/code/community
You can find your installed extensions in :
your mail folder -> app/code/community
or
your mail folder -> app/code/local
Some of the extensions will be installed in local folder as well
You can find all in code folder
