7.3.3 Installing Joomla!
More research was done, and Joomla was finally picked to serve as a content management system software for building the Batterjee's portal. Before installing Joomla, there are a couple prerequisites that need to be met to install successfully. These are:
Hosting:(This will be done locally and after the website is build it will uploaded to an online host).Regardless of the hosting method used, the host should have PHP and MySQL installed.
Locally, as shown above with WebMatrix, both were installed.
MySQL BenchWork was used to create a database. The following credentials were saved:
DB Name
Host Name
Username
Password
FTP Client: This will be used at the very end of the development process to upload the website from the local host to an online host. Filezilla was used to do that.
