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.

I recently installed phpList in a folder of my current joomla install (on share server in bluehost). I had to manually install it, and I can access the admin page.
Joomla is installed at the root folder (html_public) and phpList in a folder within it (html_public/phpList).
As said, I can successfully access the admin page of phpList (www.my-site.com/phpList/lists/admin) and configure it.
The problem is: every time I click on "save" to save an updated configuration, then it re-directs me to a 404 - not found throw by joomla (as it redirects to http://www.my-site.com/lists/admin/?page=configure#item_confirmationmessage). My updated configuration is correctly saved, and I can easily go back to it pressing the "back" button in the browser. I notice that phpList is not redirecting to the correct folder html_public/phpList/lists but to an incorrect one: html_public/lists.
I think there has to be some tweak to do in joomla and/or phpList to correctly define the folder it should direct the confirmation message.
I'm fully aware of the alternative of installing phpList to a subdomain's root folder, but at this point I'd prefer (if possible) to fix what I actually have.
This is what I ended doing, if it's of help to people looking for solutions.
It seems phpList is somewhat picky about the folder it's installed to.
In order to avoid conflicts with the already existing Joomla install, I had to create a subdomain and then make a clean re-install of it to a folder called lists within that subdomain. Any other solution (for example installing it to lists within html_public of my main domain) didn't work well, producing errors similar to the one described in the question. So, step by step:
Create a subdomain to your site (mine was "lists.mysite.com")
Install phpList into a folder called lists within that subdomain's html_public folder. Make sure you follow the guide in phpList documentation
Configure and go.
I am no expert in Joomla... :)
On my local station using XAMMP, my Joomla 1.5.22 site is running fine but when I upload it to our server online, my problem began, when I visit the frontpage it pulled out nothing but I can still access its backend. I tried to search all over the net, I did some suggested fix but still failed :(
Look for error log in the root folder of your Joomla install, that will give you a hint on why this is happenning.
Also, instead of copying the files and database manually use Akeeba Backup extension for backing up complete site (all files and database) in a single archive. Then use Akeeba Kickstart script for restoring. Akeeba Kickstart will automatically change all configurations needed to run your site on the new server. The extension and the script are free and the process is very simple, look for Youtube videos that show the backup / restore process step by step.
Good luck.
I just get my site back, I just learned that a depreciated module caused the problem, because our server has been upgraded, so I just disabled all my modules on site then single by single I enable it again and find the module that caused the problem, which I did, I'm now replacing that depreciated module with new extension so that the site will be working back.

Now my site is back, I just found out that GD library is not installed on PHP, that's why it shows blank page in the first place, PHEW!
thanks
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've Joomla 1.7 and lots of component in it.
I'd like to make a "reverse-engineering" of the install of a component.
I've edited most part of it and i'd like to repack this to install in a new fresh Joomla installation.
Any idea?
thanks!
It's fairly straight forward - you download all the related files then zip them up with a new XML manifest. Of course you have to make sure that you get all of the files because they can be located in a couple different places. Luckily, the Joomla documentation has a basic list of all the files you would find in a component.

I have developed a widget and now I want the clients to install it using Magento Connect Manager. How can I do this?
Magento connect is used to download and install free, community modules. If your module fits the bill, please continue.
First, you need to make sure that your widget is setup as an extension. That means that your code should be in a folder in app/code/local (though template files and such will clearly be in other places).
Once you've done that, take a look here for some detailed instructions on how to package your extension. Basically, you're going to select all the files that go with that extension and bundle them into a big blob.
Then, on the Magento website, you'll upload that file bundle to be placed on Magento Connect, where your clients can download and install it like any other community module.
Hope that helps!
Thanks,
Joe
