\"howWhat is Joomla?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications.<\/p>\n

What’s a content management system?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A content management system is software that keeps track of every piece of content on your Web site, much like your local public library keeps track of books and stores them. Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, or just about anything you can think of. A major advantage of using a CMS is that it requires almost no technical skill or knowledge to manage.<\/p>\n

To install and run Joomla 2.5 in your CentOS 6 Linux VPS<\/a> you need to complete the following few steps. We assume you have installed and configured LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL and PHP)<\/a> or LNMP (Linux Nginx MySQL and PHP)<\/a> on your system.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Make sure your system’s always up-to-date by executing:<\/strong><\/p>\n

# yum update -y<\/pre>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Download the Joomla 2.5 package\u00a0 to the newly created ‘\/var\/www\/html\/joomla2.5’ directory and change to this directory<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

# mkdir -p \/var\/www\/html\/joomla2.5 && \\\r\nwget -P \/var\/www\/html\/joomla2.5 \\\r\nhttp:\/\/joomlacode.org\/gf\/download\/frsrelease\/17410\/76012\/Joomla_2.5.7-Stable-Full_Package.zip && \\\r\ncd \/var\/www\/html\/joomla2.5\/<\/pre>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Extract the zipped archive to the ‘\/var\/www\/html\/joomla2.5’ directory.<\/strong><\/p>\n

# [[ ! $(which unzip 2>\/dev\/null) ]] && yum install unzip && \\\r\nunzip Joomla*.zip && rm -f Joomla_*.zip && \\\r\nchown apache: -R \/var\/www\/html\/joomla2.5<\/pre>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Navigate to http:\/\/your-ip\/joomla2.5 and complete your Joomla instalation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You may want to create a virtual host directive for your http:\/\/your-domain<\/strong> to serve\u00a0 the joomla you just installed in ‘\/var\/www\/html\/joomla2.5’.<\/p>\n
