L Further Information: For security purposes, you can amend the admin username after you have
completed the installation process. See: Chapter 7: Managing Users
The file permission settings are essential whilst installing Joomla! itself, by the Joomla! add-on
installers, and by the Media Manager. If you are unsure what flags should be set, leave the
default settings for now. You can change these flags later in the site Global Configuration.
Click the
Next button.
Installation:Step4
The final page allows you to copy information for the configuration.php file.
Figure 12: Installation Step 4
Copy the configuration file data.
You can either paste it directly into the
configuration.php-dts file on the server and rename that
file
configuration.php, or create a separate configuration.php file and upload it to the Joomla! root
directory. You only need to copy and paste the data if the installation has not created the
configuration.php file for you. However, it does no harm to keep a note of this information in a
local file for future reference.
Note: Ensure that the configuration.php has write permissions correctly set.
WARNING!: Do not forget your Super Administrator login name and password, as it is not
possible to enter the Administrator Control Panel (Back-end) without this. If you
lose this information, you must restart the complete set up procedure.
Caution: For security reasons you must delete the installation folder. In fact, until this is done,
you will not be able to view your web site (Front-end) or login to the Administrative
Control Panel (Back-end).
WhatisNext?
You then have a choice of two buttons. One will take you to your Joomla! Site (Front-end); the
other to the Site Administrator Login screen (Back-end). If this is your first installation, we
recommend that you click the
View Site button.
