***REVISION!!! “Site Name” setting at 3:15 should be set to match your company or domain name. This value is used when members of your site receive emails from from your site, including welcome emails. You can also set this manually at any time after installation in Administration: Site - Global Configuration - Site Settings - Server Also - go to Site - Global Configuration - Site Settings - Site and configure the Meta Description and Meta Tags right away as it takes weeks for google to index these values. Meta Description is the summary shown on google results, and Meta Tags are keywords to help your site get indexed. You might have to manually configure the FTP file system access layer after install if you have errors when trying to install templates. Tutorial here: youtube.com If you run into any problems, I suggest watching my tutorial on how to install Joomla on a FREE 000webhost website; If you can install it there, you can install it anywhere: youtube.com Or, if your provider has Fantastico (or similar auto-installer), you can auto-install Joomla, but you might not be getting Joomla 1.5 that way.

Great work Alex - I’ve signed up with the same company and have a question about whether it’s possible once I’ve installed the standard Joomla installation to then import my own mysql database from my local machine over the top so I can upload a pre-configured site over the top of the standard one.
Hope this makes sense!

Thank You Alex
That was very helpful since my hosting provider has some issues with automatic script installer…

Thanks Alex, this was a great step by step, I would have spent probably hours trying to figure this out. The install and set up went just like you demonstrated.
June 3rd, 2010 @15:06
what stops you website visitors coming across all this wand messing with this installation
what if the moment you go to that homepage to set it up other people who visited you old site see this? and arrive
seems very complicated for something thats supposed to be simple
