-==Description==
+===Description===
 With this RPM you can use the popular Content-Management-System (CMS) Joomla on your SME 7.x. You can install it as one single package in a very comfortable way. For more information see ''http://www.joomla.org/''.
-==Download==
+===Installation and Uninstall===
-You can download this package at ''[http://ftp.surfnet.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/distr/smeserver/contribs/dberteld/joomla/smeserver-joomla-1.5.1-2.noarch.rpm]'' . If you would like to save it directly on your SME Server, you should give this command at a linux-prompt
-  wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/dberteld/joomla/smeserver-joomla-1.5.1-2.noarch.rpm
+Initially check the current version available from
+http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/dberteld/joomla/
+which at the time of writing is
+smeserver-joomla-1.5.1-2.noarch.rpm
+Download and install using the following commands
+(Please remember to replace the version number in the command with the currently available version number or the download will fail)
+ cd /tmp
+  wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/dberteld/joomla/smeserver-joomla-1.5.1-2.noarch.rpm
+ yum localinstall smeserver-joomla*.rpm
+For uninstall use the following command
+ rpm -e smeserver-joomla
-==Installation and Uninstall==
-For installation just hit the following command
- yum localinstall smeserver-joomla-1.5.1-2.noarch.rpm
-For uninstall just hit the following command
- yum remove smeserver-joomla
 You can ignore the yum-comments ''signal event post-upgrade'' and ''signal-event reboot''.
-==Use==
+===Use===
 You can find joomla in the ''/opt/joomla'' directory. For using Joomla start your browser with the URL ''http://servername/joomla'' and logon with the user ''admin'' + password ''admin'' as administrator.
+===Redirection===
+If you want to redirect your joomla installation to your favorite URL, use this [http://wiki.contribs.org/Web_Application_Redirect_Tutorial Redirection Tutorial].
 {{Warning box|For security-reasons, change your admin-password after your first login !}}
+===Configuration===
+Initial configuration (in the Joomla control panel) requires permissions on the configuration.php file to be made web accessible. This should only be done temporarily as anyone can have access to the file when it is in web accessible write mode.
+cd to the folder where configuration.php is located eg if in /opt/joomla then do
+ cd /opt/joomla
+or if installed to an ibay
+ cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/joomla/html/
+to see the current permissions (and you should make a note of them)
+ ls -al configuration.php
+to TEMPORARILY change to a suitable value to allow Joomla control panel to make and save changes
+ chmod 770 configuration.php
+Then make & save your changes in Joomla
+Then you MUST change permissions back to safe values to prevent anyone from accessing the config file eg
+ chmod 640 configuration.php
 Have much fun with Joomla as your preferred CMS !

+===Search Engine Friendly URLS - SEF/SEO===
+In order to use Joomla SEF URL's you need to do the following:
+ mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
+ cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
+ cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/92joomla 92joomla
+Now edit 92joomla and add a line for the AllowOverride directive as below
+ $OUT .= "<Directory /opt/joomla>\n";
+ $OUT .= "    order deny,allow\n";
+ $OUT .= "    deny from all\n";
+ $OUT .= "    allow from $allow\n";
+ $OUT .= "    AllowOverride all\n";
+ if ($pass)
+ {
+     $OUT .= "    AuthName \"$joomla{'Name'}\"\n";
+     $OUT .= "    AuthType Basic\n";
+     $OUT .= "    AuthExternal pwauth\n";
+Close and save the file, then
+ expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
+ sv t httpd-e-smith
+Now assuming joomla is installed in /opt/joomla
+ cd /opt/joomla
+ mv htaccess.txt .htaccess
+Edit .htaccess
+Uncomment the Rewritebase line and change it to
+ RewriteBase /joomla
+Save and close the file.
+This assumes that the 92joomla template fragment also set
+ Alias /joomla /opt/joomla
+If you have set and wish to use a different URL by
+ config setprop joomla URL foo
+you will need to set
+ RewriteBase /foo
+Equally if you have redirected a VirtualDomain to point to your joomla application directly (www.virtualdomain.com instead of www.virtualdoamin.com/joomla) you will need to set
+ RewriteBase /
+{{Note box| You will only be able to use whatever URL you set RewriteBase to in .htaccess even though other aliases might exist. For example if you have redirected a virtualdomain and set RewriteBase to /, /joomla and /foo won't work correctly. You may get to the home page but after that the SEF rewrites will fail}}
+Now, in Joomla Administration go to ''Global Configuration - Site'' and set
+ Search Engine Friendly URLS - yes
+ Use Apache mod_rewrite      - yes
+Save the page, exit Administration and reload your Joomla site
