Topic: Install joomla to an ibay folder

[hawk]

read the manual  haha just kidding

i use winscp to upload all my install files, that way i don't have to mess with FTP / securities etc. chmod etc
just a note here to increase my security i have changed the port from 22 to something like 52919.

use winscp to copy the template folder (unzipped) into /joomlaint/tmp
then in your backend use "Extension Manager: Install"
"Install from Directory"
you will see something like
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/joomlaint/html/tmp

add "/templatefoldername"
and install

hope this helps.

1. had to chmod the ibays/joomlaint/html dir from drwxr-s— to 777 (so setup settings will save)

that's bad.. you shoul never use 777 perms.. 755 or 644 should be enough

2. Mysql wasn;t saving setup data, so
mysql -e “GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,ALTER ON *.* TO 'joomlaadminuser' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';"

you are granting many priviledges to joomlaadminuser to ALL the databases.. are you sure?

Thanks Stefano
1. good point: I must toughen up my security thinking
2. another good point: yes its ok on this occasion as it is my internal test server,
but your points are very valid for others reading this (and I will try to post better suggestions next time)
Cheers Robert

It did - thanks very much.
(I have my server access on my LAN, so just open Windows Explorer and drag the downloaded zip across and unzip:
of course it didn't work straight up - not until I figured out to turn ftp off in Global settings)
