Joomla for SME Server
Maintainer

mailto:dietmar@berteld.com
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/.
Installation and Uninstall
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
You can ignore the yum-comments signal event post-upgrade and signal-event reboot.
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 Redirection Tutorial.
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 /
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
