I'm trying to learn the Joomla content management system (CMS) to create websites.It is by all accounts useful and I know a few people who use it.
First step is install a local version.
So, I must install a local server on my PC using Xampp. Then install Joomla on this local server.
First attempts , using Xampp 1.7.4 and Joomla 1.5 , failed. There is an apparent compatibility issue . Some versions of Joomla will not work with some versions of Xampp.
So, I googled it and saw this:

' I use Xampp 1.7.1 with Joomla 1.5.14. I've even installed them on a memory stick for portability. A bit slow, but works fine.

So , I'm trying that now.
I installed Xampp 1.7.1.
ReplyDeleteSetup - Used the setup_xampp file .
Started Apache using batch file : apache_start.ok.
Started MySQL using : mysql_start. ok
Test localhost:
