Joomla is a free and open source platform Content Management System (CMS) written in PHP. It enables you to create dynamic web pages and applications with ease. It includes an easy-to-use design that allows you to get the most out of its features and functionality.<\/p>\n

What you need to install Joomla<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Before you proceed, you need to have LAMP installed on your instance. Check out our latest guide on how install LAMP server on Rocky Linux 8<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s hit the ground running.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Install Additional PHP Modules<\/strong><\/h3>\n

After LAMP stack is installed, proceed to install the below PHP modules with the command:<\/p>\n

$ sudo dnf install php php-gd php-pear php-xml php-soap php-mbstring php-intl php-ldap php-curl php-mysqlnd php-json php-zip php-opcache <\/strong><\/pre>\n
Now head over and modify the php.ini<\/strong> file:<\/p>\n
$ sudo vim \/etc\/php.ini<\/strong><\/pre>\n
Change the following parameters:<\/p>\n
memory_limit = 256<\/strong>\r\n\r\noutput_buffering = Off<\/strong>\r\n\r\nmax_execution_time = 300<\/strong>\r\n\r\ndate.timezone = Asia\/Dubai<\/strong><\/pre>\n
Once done, be sure to save the changes on your command-line editor.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Create a database for Joomla<\/strong><\/h3>\n
With the installation of PHP and the configuration of the php.ini<\/strong> configuration file out of the way, we are going to create and configure a database for Joomla.<\/p>\n
So, login to MariaDB server<\/p>\n
$ sudo mysql -u root -p<\/strong><\/pre>\n
Next, create the Joomla db:<\/p>\n
$ CREATE DATABASE joomladb;<\/strong><\/pre>\n
Then , create a database user and grant all the privileges to the joomla user and database.<\/p>\n
$ GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON joomladb.* TO 'joomlauser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'Pass@2023!<\/strong><\/pre>\n
After that is done, save and exit MariaDB.<\/p>\n
Step 3:Download and configure Joomla<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Download the latest Joomla archive file from the official site using the below wget command:<\/p>\n
$ wget https:\/\/downloads.joomla.org\/cms\/joomla4\/4-0-5\/Joomla_4-0-5-Stable-Full_Package.zip?format=zip -O joomla.zip<\/strong><\/pre>\n
Next, unzip the file as shown:<\/p>\n
$ sudo unzip joomla.zip -d \/var\/www\/html\/joomla<\/strong><\/pre>\n
Next, grant ownership to the Joomla folder located in the webroot directory to Apache user.<\/p>\n
$ sudo chown -R apache:apache \/var\/www\/html\/joomla\/<\/strong><\/pre>\n
Next, configure the directory permissions as follows and provide global users access rights to read and execute the contents of the Joomla web files.<\/p>\n
$ sudo chmod -R 775 \/var\/www\/html\/joomla\/<\/strong><\/pre>\n
With the permissions and ownerships on the Joomla directory in place, we can now setup a virtualhost file.<\/p>\n
Step 4:Set up an Apache virtual host file for Joomla<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Now we need to configure the Apache virtual host for Joomla. For that, we will configure a virtual host file that will tell the server where to access the website files.<\/p>\n
$ sudo vim \/etc\/httpd\/conf.d\/joomla.conf<\/strong><\/pre>\n
Next, append the following lines to the file. For the  ServerName <\/strong>directive, feel free to use the server\u2019s Public IP or domain name.<\/p>\n
<VirtualHost *:80><\/strong>\r\n\r\n ServerAdmin admin@mysite.example.com<\/strong>\r\n\r\n DocumentRoot \"\/var\/www\/html\/joomla\"<\/strong>\r\n\r\n ServerName mysite.example.com<\/strong>\r\n\r\n ErrorLog \"\/var\/log\/httpd\/mysite.example.com-error_log\"<\/strong>\r\n\r\n CustomLog \"\/var\/log\/httpd\/mysite.example.com-access_log\" combined<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<Directory \"\/var\/www\/html\/joomla\"><\/strong>\r\n\r\n DirectoryIndex index.html index.php<\/strong>\r\n\r\n Options FollowSymLinks<\/strong>\r\n\r\n AllowOverride All<\/strong>\r\n\r\n Require all granted<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<\/Directory><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<\/VirtualHost><\/strong><\/pre>\n
Save the virtual host and restart Apache web server to apply the changes to the virtualhost file.<\/p>\n
$ sudo systemctl restart httpd<\/strong><\/pre>\n
Great, the last step is to finalize the installation of Joomla from a web browser.<\/p>\n
Step 5: Wrap up Joomla installation from the web browser<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Launch your preferred browser and browser the address:<\/p>\n
$ http:\/\/server-ip or domain_name<\/strong><\/pre>\n
You will be taken to the following page. Provide the required information then click \u2018Set up Database Connection\u2019.<\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n
Next, fill out your database details and click \u2018Install Joomla\u2019.<\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n
Wait for the installation process to complete. If the installation is complete and successful, you will see the output below:<\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n
Then pick ‘Open Administrator’ as your login option. Finally, the Joomla login page will come to view as shown. Provide your logn credentials and hit that \u2018Login\u2019 button.<\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n
Finally, Joomla\u2019s dashboard will be displayed as follows:<\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n
And that\u2019s it. We have managed to successfully install Joomla on Rocky Linux 8.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
