I've already installed it on my local machine. The reason I'm thinking I need a database for each webpage is that I created a link to the webpage's location in /var/www in an experiment to be able to not store the page in /var/www but rather in ~/Documents/<etc> . Then when I went to the admin page it wanted to setup joomla again.<br clear="all">

<br>Take a look at these tutorials <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/tutorial.html" target="_blank">http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/tutorial.html</a>. They should help you understand the what and how of databases, specifically MySql.<br>
<br>Here is some PHP info on how to work with MySql databases <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/set.mysqlinfo.php" target="_blank">http://www.php.net/manual/en/set.mysqlinfo.php</a>.<br><br>I would recommend understanding the basics before trying to install Joomla on your local LAMP install. <br>
