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 :
Download Joomla
Get latest version of Joomla from this address.
Save and extract to C:\wamp\www\joomla
Create Database for Joomla
Open phpmyadmin and create new database. I create database with name ‘joomla‘
Set New Domain
I want to try new subdomain for this Joomla installation. (See this post for example add new domain)
I pick name :
Add VirtualHost entry
Open file C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf
Add these lines :
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin alam@batikweb.com
DocumentRoot “C:/wamp/www/joomla”
ServerName joomla.batikweb.com
<Directory “C:/wamp/www/joomla/”>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
