How to install Mambo (Now it is Joomla) CMS?

INSTALLATION
————

1. DOWNLOAD Mambo

You can obtain the latest Mambo release from:
http://mamboforge.net/projects/mambo.

Copy the tar.gz file into a working directory e.g.

$ cp MamboVx.x.x-Stable.tar.gz /tmp/Mambo

Change to the working directory e.g.

$ cd /tmp/Mambo

Extract the files e.g.

$ tar -zxvf MamboVx.x.x-Stable.tar.gz

This will extract all Mambo files and directories.  Move the contents
of that directory into a directory within your web server’s document
root or your public HTML directory e.g.

$ mv /tmp/Mambo/* /var/www/html

Alternatively if you downloaded the file to your computer and unpacked
it locally use a FTP program to upload all files to your server.
Make sure all PHP, HTML, CSS and JS files are sent in ASCII mode and
image files (GIF, JPG, PNG) in BINARY mode.

2. CREATE THE Mambo DATABASE

Mambo will currently only work with MySQL.  In the following examples,
“db_user” is an example MySQL user which has the CREATE and GRANT
privileges.  You will need to use the appropriate user name for your
system.

First, you must create a new database for your Mambo site e.g.

$ mysqladmin -u root -p create Mambo

mysqladmin -uroot -p<password> create test123 —–working

MySQL will prompt for the ‘db_user’ database password and then create
the initial database files.  Next you must login and set the access
database rights e.g.

$ mysql -uroot -p<password>

Again, you will be asked for the ‘db_user’ database password.  At the
MySQL prompt, enter following command:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON Mambo.*  TO nobody@localhost IDENTIFIED BY ‘<password>’;

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON Mambo.*  TO jayhelp@localhost IDENTIFIED BY ‘<password>’;

where:

‘Mambo’ is the name of your database
‘nobody@localhost’ is the userid of your webserver MySQL account
‘<password>’ is the password required to log in as the MySQL user

If successful, MySQL will reply with

Query OK, 0 rows affected

to activate the new permissions you must enter the command

flush privileges;

and then enter ‘\q’ to exit MySQL.

Alternatively you can use your web control panel or phpMyAdmin to
create a database for Mambo.

mysql mysql -uwebsoft -p

show databases;

create database LSMambo;

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON Mambo.*  TO nobody@localhost IDENTIFIED BY ‘ ‘;

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON Mambo.*  TO websoft@localhost IDENTIFIED BY ‘<password>’;

commit;

http://www.lightsql.com -> Main Site

http://www.lightsql.com/administrator -> Admin

3. WEB INSTALLER

Finally point your web browser to http://www.lightsql.com where the Mambo web
based installer will guide you through the rest of the installation.

4. CONFIGURE Mambo

You can now launch your browser and point it to your Mambo site e.g.

http://www.mysite.com -> Main Site
http://www.mysite.com/administrator -> Admin

You can log into Admin using the username ‘admin’ along with the
password that was generated or you chose during the web based install.

MAMBO ADMINISTRATION
———————

Upon a new installation, your Mambo website defaults to a very basic
configuration with only a few active components, modules and templates
(CMTs).

Use Admin to install and configure additional CMTs, add users, select
default language and much more.

Note that additional community-contributed CMTs and languages are
available at http://mamboforge.net.
