• Unpack ZIP file to a folder under /var/www on the web server (such us en for English, or es for Spanish). Eg:

  % mkdir /var/www/en
  % cp audina-v3.tar.gz /var/www/en
  % cd /var/www/en
  % tar xzf audina-v3.tar.gz 

• Create database in MySQL:

  mysql> CREATE DATABASE `audina_joomla15_en`; 
  mysql> CREATE USER 'joomlausr'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY  '***';
  GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO  'joomlausr'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY  '***' WITH MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 0 ;
  GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON  `audina_joomla15_en` . * TO  'joomlausr'@'localhost';

• Import data from SQL script into database. Eg:

  mysql> SOURCE audinadata.sql

• Edit file site/configuration.php. Eg:

  <?php

          var $ftp_pass = '';
          var $ftp_root = '';
          var $dbtype = 'mysql';
          var $host = 'localhost';
          var $user = 'joomlausr';

          var $MetaDesc = 'Audina Hearing Instruments.';
          var $MetaKeys = 'Audina, Hearing Instruments, Hearing Aids, Custom, BTE, OTE, RIC';
          var $offline_message = 'This site is down for maintenance. Please check back again soon.';
  }

• Setup htaccess file with some basic security. This how .htaccess in the root folder in Joomla should look like:

  # Deny all PHP pages
  <Files *.php>
  deny from all
  </Files>
  # Allow only these PHP pages
  <Files ~ "(^index.php|^index2.php|chrono_verification.php)$">
  allow from all
  </Files>

• Point the browser to website URL, and test.

• Home page Title should have keywords.
• Description Metatag should have relevant site summary for Google to display it.
• Images in Home page should have descriptive alt descriptions.
• Switch on Search Engine Friendly URLs (Global Configuration).
• Switch on Apache mod_rewrite (Global Configuration).

• Install mod_rewrite support for apache.
  • Enable it:

    % sudo a2enmod rewrite

    or

    % cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
    % ln -s ../mods-available/rewrite.load rewrite.load

  • Enable AllowOverride for apache: Edit file /etc/apache2/sites-available/default (or whatever the virtual site is using) and set it to AllowOverride All. Eg:

    <Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        #AllowOverride None
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
        # Uncomment this directive is you want to see apache2's
        # default start page (in /apache2-default) when you go to /
        #RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
    </Directory>

  • Restart apache:

    % /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

• Create test script. Sample test .htaccess file:

  RewriteEngine On
  Options +FollowSymLinks
  RewriteRule ^joomla\.html http://www.joomla.org/? [R=301,L]
  RewriteRule ^link([^/]*).html$ rewrite.php?link=$1 [L]

  Test script rewrite.php (open in browser, and test links being displayed):

  <html>
  <body>
  <h2>
  <?php
  if($_GET['link']==1)
  {
    echo"You are NOT using mod_rewrite";
  }
  elseif($_GET['link']==2)
  {
    echo"Congratulations!! You are using Apache mod_rewrite";
  }
  else
  {
    echo"Apache mod_rewrite Test Tutorial";
  }
  ?>
  </h2>
   
  <p><a href="rewrite.php?link=1">LINK1</a> = rewrite.php?link=1</p>
  <p><a href="link2.html">LINK2</a> = link2.html</p>
  <p>How this works: both links are for this same page, but each calls the page differently:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>Link1 is without the mod_rewrite. It shows the php file.</li> 
  <li>Link2 is using mod_rewrite. </li>
  </ul>
  <p>
  With mod_rewrite, we are mascarading the php file into an html file. Any extension can be used (eg: .htm, .shtml etc.). Make sure it is reflected in the .htaccess file</p>
  </body>
  </html>

• Rename and test Joomla's htaccess.txt to .htaccess
