Hello everybody, happy thanksgiving 
Today I try to explain how to install Joomla. I’m also long time user of Mambo that transform to Joomla. Why I choose Joomla in this post because I have mail from a reader, ask me to show how to install Joomla locally.
If you in researching stage you might want to see these posts :
Ok. lets continue with Install Joomla at localhost :
Get latest version of Joomla from this address.
Save and extract to C:\wamp\www\joomla
I’ve ever use pmachine long time ago and I like it very much. Today pmachine replaced by expression engine as they offer more dynamic feature but still in simple user GUI for end user.
This time I’ll show how to install expression engine in localhost with help of Wampserver.
Fake Domain I’ll use is : dariawal.com
Friendly URL for search engine needed too.
Enough, I’ll continue the tutorial in the form by step by step :
For domain setup I use the same way as I set fake domain for cms based wordpress and cms based drupal.
Open HostExpert and add new domain.
Click “Add Line” and you’re done.
Open file C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf
and add these lines :
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin alam@batikweb.com
DocumentRoot “C:/wamp/www/EECore1.6.8″
ServerName dariawal.com<Directory “C:/wamp/www/EECore1.6.8/”>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory></VirtualHost>
Save file.
(EECore1.6.8 is folder name of expression after extracted).
In previous post I have talk about fix ereg() problem that show up when I use wampserver that utlize php 5.3.0.
I’ll continue with vhost feature in Wampserver that asked by a reader via contact form. I try to explain that thing first.
VirtualHost is a special feature in apache that allow us to host multiple domain in single IP address.
I’ve set 2 domain in the past :
those url use same IP which is : 127.0.0.1
First URL (winhows.net) don’t add a entry in httpd.conf or httpd-vhost.conf but second URL (batikweb.com) available after add entry in httpd-vhost.conf .
