I will be moving a client's website from my subdomain to their servers - and I was a little worried about how to go about it. I do hope they have Linux servers, though. :'( - Linda Mon, 04 Aug 2008 20:39:28 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/17/3/#comment-922 Dear Cory, I really find your tutorial detailled as compared to what the hosting company says...But despite about 3 days trying to make it work , I keep getting error messages.

Thanks a zillion. . . YE is Here! - YE is Here Wed, 09 Jul 2008 22:24:53 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/17/3/#comment-904 Hey Cory, I've been using your guide faithfully and it's really worked well. Thanks! I recently however came across a Joomla backup component called "JoomlaPack". Automates everything and makes it so easy to clone sites. You may find more details of it here: http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,1606/Itemid,35/. The best part is that it's free and open source! - Lohita Wed, 09 Jul 2008 12:56:38 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/17/3/#comment-857 this is my error ,can u just help me in solving this,i hav designed a joomla website thats in my local drive,i need to upload to web,can u say the procedure - yuva Mon, 23 Jun 2008 09:38:32 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/17/3/#comment-856 Warning: main(home/web/htdocs/www.exitus.org.uk/public_html /includes/version.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /web/htdocs/www.exitus.org.uk/home/includes/joomla.php on line 71 Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'home/web/htdocs/www.exitus.org.uk/public_html /includes/version.php' (include_path='.:/php/lib/php/') in /web/htdocs/www.exitus.org.uk/home/includes/joomla.php on line 71 - yuva Mon, 23 Jun 2008 08:53:18 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/17/3/#comment-793 Thanks very much for this. It made something I had expected to be very difficult turn out actually to relatively easy. I didn't follow precisely all of the steps and there were some bits I got stuck but there was enough info to allow me to work it out. Thanks. I am new to Joomla but have in last month created a localhost site. I wanted to test whether I could back it up and move it to another machine (my laptop) before going live on the hosted server. My variation was that I found that I didn't need to use SQL/PHP tools at all to export/import the database. All's I did was to copy the db directory from the main PC to the laptop. I am using wampserver so for both machines structure was same. I found the database was in (this took a little looking for): C:\wampin\mysql\mysql5.0.51a\data\MySiteDatabaseDirectroy I had also copied over the main Joomla directory under: C:\wamp\www\MyJoomla15Files Also had to remember to install wampserver on the laptop. I was so suprised when the site just came up first time. I expect problems! Thanks for your guide.

Someone had written a comment with a string that was too long for the width of the box. I have now fixed this. - Cory Sat, 19 Apr 2008 20:40:40 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/17/3/#comment-764 Hi, just let you know. I used mac and firefox 2.0.0.14 as browser. the right side of your site is cutted off, i mean, your content not really floated to the right side, so i couldn't read every line completly. at least it make difficult to understand your tutorial. just like cut off on the right side. maybe template case. Regards, Haris - Haris Sat, 19 Apr 2008 16:01:38 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/17/3/#comment-763 this is a great tutorial thank you but its hard to read since the text has to be reduced very small to read all of it,. - Sakeenah Sat, 19 Apr 2008 12:10:26 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/17/3/#comment-757 Thank you! There is a more detailed tutorial over here: http://www.joomlaspots.com/Tutorials/Smart-and-Fast/Joomla-Tutorial.html - Makis77 Sun, 13 Apr 2008 16:50:09 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/17/3/#comment-755 How would one add a marker or link to a content item so that when a user clicks on that item the page scrolls down the page to the apporpriate item? I am aware how to create a link but I am not sure that is what I am looking for. Thanks - williee Fri, 11 Apr 2008 16:09:44 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/17/3/#comment-751 Perfect, it worked great! - John Fri, 04 Apr 2008 16:23:20 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/17/3/#comment-736 I know my issue is username/password related. But could you also do a tutorial like this for Joomla 1.5.1 Stable? The config.php file structure is different than 1.0. - Shawn Mon, 24 Mar 2008 15:48:52 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/17/3/#comment-725 Well this looks useful but one problem Im getting is in regards to servage. No one at Joomla forums seems to have an answer: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=430&t=272408 - M Mon, 10 Mar 2008 13:05:13 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/17/3/#comment-715 Thank you for this tutorial... It's very useful :) - Hosting Fri, 29 Feb 2008 19:31:07 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/17/3/#comment-712 Thanks really helped me - Sharath Tue, 26 Feb 2008 09:22:57 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/17/3/#comment-695 Hi sayeed, To install multiple instances of Joomla on the same server, you simply upload your Joomla files to separate folders and install them like normal. If you are using the same database for each site, you will need to use a different table prefix for each. You should see that option when you are installing. Good luck! - Cory Fri, 15 Feb 2008 07:16:33 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/17/3/#comment-694 I just installed joomla with apache, mysql and php, it works fine for a single website. I got three different websites and would like to have separate joomla for each website. Can someone please help or redirect me to some online tutorial.
