Hi danskweb,
It is fine. Here is the detailed content of my tutorial. You can try to follow the steps and perform your quickstart again:
—————————————————————-
It was over 10 months since the first stable version of Joomla 3.x came to existence with new features comparing to its LTS version Joomla 2.5.x (security improvements, responsive with Twitter Bootstrap integration, tags support on J3.1.x …) and nearly same period of time since Joomlart released the first Joomla 3.x quickstart package of our JA Templates which, as you know, allow you to have a new Joomla website look like our template demo basing on the demo sample data of the contents and extension’s settings; The rising requests on how to install these Joomla 3.x quickstarts on the remote server, have still been coming to us from JA members, especially the Joomla 3 newcomers.
In this tutorial, I intend not to guide you to upload and install the quickstart directly on your remote server because I know you, guys sometimes can get stuck in installation failure in case, the quickstart can’t extract the sample content into available database or the not configuration.php file existing.
On other hands, we will go around a little bit by extracting the quickstart on our localhost firstly, then moving all installed files and database to the remote server’s storage. Not to be shown off, but this method always ensures the success to 98% requests of our Joomlart quickstart installation service.
A. Working on the localhost
1. The first and most important step is downloading the exact Joomla 3.x quickstart version of our template, that you want to get installing.
2. You need to install and activate a simulated web server which allows the Joomla website to run on the localhost. My favorite choice is Xampp – is a free and open source cross-platform web server solution stack package.
3. Create an installation folder (i.e ja_telineiv) in the xampphtdocs on your hard disk and extract the quickstart package into this new folder.
4. Using a browser to create a database for new Joomla installation in localhost phpMyadmin.
5. Start to install the quickstart by entering the selected folder path (i.e localhost/ja_telineiv/) on the address bar of browser.
At this step, you guys can see how beautiful the installation interface of Joomla 3.x is, I love it. Well, fulfilling the required info is only thing you need to do, please pay attention to my marked arrows. Make sure that you did note all admin infos or can remember them.
6. Compressing all installed files of folder into a .zip file to be uploaded to remote server.
7. Coming back to phpMyadmin to export the installed sample data into a .sql file.
Let have a coffee or even beer to make sure that you are perky enough to follow the rest steps !!!
B. Uploading the files and sample data to remote server.
1. In this step, it will be easier for you to upload the installed website quickly if you have the Cpanel account on hand. If you don’t know what Cpanel is, read here and make a call to the hosting provider!!! Just joking. You can check this: http://docs.joomla.org/Using_an_FTP_client_to_upload_files
2. Upload and extract the compressed .zip into the root folder of your website domain.
3. Go to phpMyadmin of remote server and import the exported data into the selected database.
4. Back to the root folder and edit the configuration.php with the new info of host, database name that you already imported the data into.
That is all ! Enjoy the new Joomla 3.x quickstart !
Note: This is just a sample method on installing a Joomla 3.x quickstart on a website domain, i know many JA members, you guys know exactly how to handle this prerequisite task on various amazing methods. All your comments and shared notes/tips are welcome here. Thank you !
