==Installing Joomla! 3 on SME Server 9.0==
===Overview===
[http://www.joomla.org/ Joomla!] is a powerful, flexible content management system (CMS) that is in wide use across the Internet. This How-To will cover configuration of the SME 9.0 server to support Joomla! 3, and installation of Joomla! 3 on the SME 9.0 server. It will not cover configuration or use of Joomla! itself; those subjects are covered by the Joomla! documentation and many other sources.
As of this writing, the most recent version of Joomla! 3 is 3.3.6. This version requires PHP 5.3.10 or greater, which is a greater version than installed by default with SME 9.0. You can either upgrade PHP following [[Upgrade php/mysql|these instructions]], or install Joomla! 3.2.7, which will work with the stock version of PHP.
Installation of Joomla! involves creating an ibay to house Joomla!, creating a MySQL user for Joomla!, downloading and extracting the Joomla! package, and going through the Joomla! web setup.
===Create the ibay===
Create an ibay for Joomla! to live in. You can call it anything you want, but I'll use joomla for this example. I used the following settings:
[[File:joomla_ibay.png]]
===Create the MySQL user===
You should set up a database user just for Joomla!, rather than using the root user. To do this, log in to your SME server as root and do the following:
[root@e-smith ~]# '''mysql'''
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 110981
Server version: 5.1.73 Source distribution
Copyright (c) 2000, 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
Oracle is a registered trademark of Oracle Corporation and/or its
affiliates. Other names may be trademarks of their respective
owners.
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.
mysql> '''grant all on joomla.* to joomla@localhost identified by 'password';'''
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.05 sec)
mysql> '''flush privileges;'''
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
mysql> '''quit'''
Bye
You should, of course, replace 'password' above with a secure password.
===Download and extract the Joomla! package===
Download the Joomla! package (either version 3.2.7 if you have chosen not to upgrade PHP, or the most recent version if you have upgraded PHP) to joomla/html and unzip it. You can do this from the command line like this (substituting the link for the most recent version):
[root@e-smith ~]# '''cd ~joomla/../html'''
[root@e-smith html]# '''wget https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/releases/download/3.3.6/Joomla_3.3.6-Stable-Full_Package.zip'''
[root@e-smith html]# '''unzip Joomla_3.3.6-Stable-Full_Package.zip'''
[root@e-smith html]# '''rm index.html'''
===Configure Joomla! using its web installer===
Using a web browser, browse to http://yourserver/joomla. The installer is pretty self-explanatory, as shown below:
[[File:joomla_installer1.png|960px]]
[[File:joomla_installer2.png|960px]]
[[File:joomla_installer3.png|960px]]
[[File:joomla_installer4.png|960px]]
Since the Joomla! package was extracted as the root user, the web server can't remove the installation folder. Thus, if you click on the "Remove installation folder" button, you'll get an error message. You'll need to remove it from the command line, like this:
[root@e-smith html]# '''rm -rf installation'''
Now you can browse to your Joomla! site at http://yourserver/joomla. It should look like this:
[[File:joomla_site.png|960px]]
You can go to the administration backend at http://yourserver/joomla/administrator. Once you log in with the admin user and password you specified in the installer, it should look like this:
[[File:joomla_backend.png|960px]]
===Security===
I wanted to restrict access to the administration backend to my LAN, so an outside user couldn't even get to the login page. To do this, I created an .htaccess file like this:
[root@e-smith html]# '''nano administrator/.htaccess'''
The contents of the file look like this:
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 192.168.x.0/24
