    How do I....?

    Hello Everyone,

    I want to use Joomla to create a website but I'm not sure what I need software wise.

    I am trying to create a Joomla based site on my 30MB of web space provided by my ISP, but I can't get it to install/work.

    I think I'm missing something.... or I don't know how install it. One of my friends told me that I need an FTP application to get it to work.... something like CoreFTP or similar.

    Thanks.

      After looking at Joomla, I see it uses PHP, and MySQL. Your ISP probably doesn't (I know mine doesn't) have support for PHP, and especially not support for MySQL). I suggest you go with a cheap host that does

          I got it to run locally on my PC last night. I'm gonna see what Joomla can do.... then use it to create a website of some sort...

              You can try it on free Yahoo(Geocities). They run BSD/Apache.

                  I think Apache is only available on the Geocities version that a subscription has to be paid for? I don't think the free version of Geocities offers this.

                      well don't know about Joomla

                      The FTP program is what I use to use to upload the pages pics whatever

                      Stands for "File Transfer Protocol" and is way old but used to work well
                      some freebie sites tend to force you to upload your site (pages etc) via web browser.
                      I use to hate them.

                      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Transfer_Protocol

                      There are quite a few different programs for this, some paid some free some good some crap I suppose
                      I use to use CuteFTP

                      Like I said dont know about Joomla but maybe it has some upload client in it

                      On the web side I suppose as pointed out above it depends on what the server will run and what your ISP will allow to run on there servers.

                      So you would need to check the details of that with them or any servers you wish to have host your site on.

                      I never really got into that, a simple HTML web page said all I needed to say

                      The power of Notepad and HTML Code...I am not that desperate FP did me
                      Ok yeah so real designers were using Dreamweaver at the time

                          who's your ISP? I installed Joomla for my site once. had it all customized but decided it took too much work and used Community Server instead. I think Mambo (the other fork of Joomla) might be easier to install.

                              A2141 (2019 16" MB Pro) Strange macOS install issues. NAND? WIFI? FIRMWARE?
                              by duwane
                              Hi All.

                              Sorry ahead of time for the text wall. This is a strange problem and I have tried to explain it as best I can. I realise this is a hardware forum (mostly), but I am still not sure if this is even a hardware fault! I am hoping that someone more knowledgeable than me in the area of understanding installation logs, or someone that has had a similar issue in the past may have some ideas of what might be causing this.

                              The issue:
                              Unable to do a clean install of any macOS versions supported for this model, even after fully erasing and formatting the internal SSD,...

                              by TrumanHW
                              For years I tried figuring out how to R|W BINs from my CH341x programmer.
                              From FTDI's pkg, Apps specifically claiming they work, I failed for ~8 years.

                              I'd expect many here figured it out (easily), but in case not ...
                              It's one of the few forms of "how-to" remuneration I can GIVE BACK.
