If you have the typical apache/mysql/php stack installed on your machine Joomla is pretty easy to install. 1. install apache/mysql/php if you haven't already 2. create a database for it in mysql 3. extract the joomla zip file to your web-root folder (often /var/www/html) 4. fire up a web browser to 'http://localhost' assuming you're running it on your own machine. 5. follow the prompts. For any of the above that isn't obvious Google is your friend :) On 06/03/2012 11:29 PM, Michael Havens wrote: > WHY DIDN'T i THINK OF THAT? > > On Sun, Jun 3, 2012 at 5:57 PM, Patrick P > wrote: > > The easy way is to pay for it ;) > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Date: Sun, 3 Jun 2012 16:45:50 -0700 > Subject: joomla > From: bmike1@gmail.com > To: PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us > > > > I just bought a joomla book and so now need to d/l the program > (couldn't beat the price.... it was a dollar).
