How To Create Joomla Website

 

Do not worry If you have never installed Joomla! before. QNAP NAS installs the Joomla! via QPKG package automatically for you. The QPKG installation procedure is absolutely simple and easy. Please refer to the step-by-step guide below for the first time Joomla! installation:

Activate the web server and the MySQL database server

Login to the administration page and then go to ‘Network Services‘ > ‘Web Server‘. Tick the checkbox ‘Enable Web server‘ and click on ‘Apply‘.

Next go to ‘Applications‘ > ‘MySQL Server‘ and tick both ‘Enable MySQL Server‘ and ‘Enable TCP/IP Networking‘ checkboxes then click on the ‘Apply‘ botton.

Download the Joomla QPKG package for installation

Ok, we have now enabled both the web server and MySQL database server. Let’s begin the Installation of Joomla! QPKG by going to the ‘Applications‘ > ‘QPKG Plugins‘ section. Now click on the ‘Get QPKG‘ button to bring up a pop-up window that contains a list of all the QPKG software applications available for installation. Expand the accordion menu says ‘Joomla‘ will show the details and the download link. Since Joomla is written entirely in php therefore it’s not hardware dependent so simply click on the download link says ‘All NAS Models‘.

The zip archive contains the .qpkg file required for installation so once downloaded to your PC unzip it and go back to ‘Applications‘ > ‘QPKG Plungins‘ > ‘Installation‘ to browse the .qpkg file then click on ‘Install’ to begin. That’s all you need to do to install Joomla, pretty simple isn’t it?

Start the Joomla step-by-step installation guide

Choose the language to display during the installation process and click on ‘Next’ to proceed.

The pre-installation check should return Yes on all the settings required so simply click ‘Next’ to continue. (Note that the ‘Display Error’ might sometimes shows ‘On’ it does not affect the installation nor the site operation. So you may simply ignore it)

You can quickly have a look through the license information of Joomla and click on ‘Next’ to proceed.

On the ‘Database Configuration’ page under ‘Basic Settings’ enter the information of your MySQL server. (Please note that the default user name and password for MySQL is root / admin but it’s strongly suggested to change it using phpMyAdmin.)

The FTP Configuration is optional and you may choose to configure the settings as below or simply click on Next to continue. (Please note that the user accounts in FTP is the same as the NAS system uses therefore the default password for admin is admin and it’s strongly suggested to change as soon as you log on.)

Specify a ‘Site Name’ of your choice and your contact ‘E-mail’ and ‘Admin Password as below. First time users or beginners are recommended to install the Sample Data in order to get some ideas. Once done simply click Next to continue to the last step.

If you can see the screen as below we’re almost there! One more thing before it’s done we have to remove the installation folder inside the Joomla! root directory.

If you have previously mounted the Qweb share directory in the Windows please go to the directory where you just installed your Joomla!. In my case it will be under Qweb > Joomla. Please delete or remove the installation directory before you can start using Joomla!.

Now point your web browser to the address below and you should see the following page. http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Joomla/ (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. denotes your NAS IP address).

For Joomla! Administration just go to: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Joomla/administrator/ (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. denotes your NAS IP address) and enter your admin user name and password. (default: admin / admin)

This is the Joomla administration backend.
