Today we will show a short tutorial on how easy it is to get started with Joomla at HelpingHost.com.
First as usual you login to your Hosting account
Once logged in look for our Softaculous Icon and click on it.
Next, click the little blue Icon next to the domain you are working on:
You now are presented with the Softaculous auto installer. On the left side in under the category Portals/CMS you will find two Joomla links.
Currently while I’m writing these instructions there will be Joomla 1.5 and Joomla 1.7 as options. For this example, click on the Joomla 1.7 link:
On the Joomla install page that appears, click on the small install link.
In this last step of the Joomla installation, most fields are self explanatory.
This one you should pay attention to:
“In Directory”
which is the folder name into which you want to install your Joomla.
IMPORTANT: This field should be EMPTY if you want to install Joomla into the root of your website which effectively makes the Joomla install your homepage.
Two fields that you should just ignore are “Database Name” and “Table Prefix”
Table Prefix Setting
Database Name Setting
Last, click the INSTALL Button. A short time later your Joomla install is ready for you to use.
