1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
This is my control panel, the cPanel control panel located here at BlueHost.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,000
cPanel is an open source control panel that many, many Web hosts use, and

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000
BlueHost is a fairly popular Web host.

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,000
You can use any one of a number of hosting places for hosting Joomla

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Web sites. Lots of people host Joomla

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,000
sites here a BlueHost. SiteGround is another one, Rockin', HostGator is very,

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000
very popular, WireTree is popular as well, so these are some places you can go

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,000
to host your Joomla Web site.

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Here in the control panel, we are going to start by uploading the zipped

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,000
file that I generated; all of the Joomla

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,000
files that are compressed together, and I am going to upload these to the server.

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,000
So I am going to scroll in down to find my Files section of the control panel.

13
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,000
This may be in different places depending on which Web host you are using. I

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,000
am going to click on the File Manager icon, and I am going to go ahead and open

15
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,000
this, and I am going to locate the place where my Web hosting is located.

16
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Mine is a little bit different here with BlueHost, because this is a

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,000
multi-account configuration. Generally speaking, when you login to the control panel

18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,000
here, and you go to your file structure for your Web site, you will be looking

19
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000
for a folder called public html, or www, and usually that's where you're going to put your Web site.

20
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:24,000
So I am going to scroll on down here, and find my folder. So here I am.

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,000
This is where my Web site is going to live, right here, and as you see, I have a

22
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000
bunch of files that are located here by default.

23
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,000
If you really wanted to, I suppose you can hang on to these, but they're not

24
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,000
really doing anything right now. It's just showing that there's a placeholder

25
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,000
for this Web hosting.

26
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000
So I am going to delete everything that's here.

27
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000
You can leave the cgi-bin folder, but delete everything else. Go ahead and hit

28
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000
the Delete key, and delete those files.

29
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Now I can go ahead and upload my zipped Joomla

30
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,000
file, so I am going to click on my Upload button, and I am going to browse to my

31
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Desktop to find the Joomla

32
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,000
zipped file, and say Open, and this is going to go ahead and start uploading for

33
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000
me, and that will take just a second. Great!

34
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
So my zipped file is now uploaded.

35
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,000
I can close this tab, and if I hit reload, I'll see my zipped file right here

36
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,000
inside of my Web hosting.

37
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:17,000
If I select that now, and say Extract, this will extract this file right into my

38
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Web hosting directory.

39
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,000
So I am going to go ahead and say Extract files, and this is going to go

40
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
ahead and do that for me.

41
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000
There you go. Now all my files are extracted; I can say Close.

42
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Remember to hit reload, and that will show you that we have Joomla's

43
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000
file structure here in place.

44
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,000
So we have got our files. The next thing we need to make sure we have in

45
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,000
place is our database, so I am going to leave the File Manager open; don't

46
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000
close it. Switch on back to your control panel tab, and find the database

47
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,000
portion of your control panel.

48
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:50,000
We are going to click on the MySQL Database Wizard icon, and we are going to walk

49
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000
on through the process of this particular Web site.

50
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,000
So here, we are going to enter a name for this database, and then I am going to go

51
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,000
to my next step. That will create an empty database for me. Then I am going

52
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000
to enter a database Username and Password.

53
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Remember, over on MAMP and WAMP, our database Username and Password were root,

54
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:16,000
and -- nothing on WAMP, and root, and root on MAM. And that's not necessarily a good thing.

55
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,000
That's very insecure.

56
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000
It doesn't matter when it's running on a computer that's in front of you, but of

57
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,000
course, when these sites go online, it's very important to make sure you have a

58
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
secure Username and Password.

59
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,000
So I am going to go ahead and enter that here, and Generate Password. Then I am

60
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,000
going to go ahead and say Create User.

61
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,000
And so this is confirming that I have created a database, a database username,

62
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000
and a database password.

63
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:45,000
My last step, I'm going to assign ALL PRIVILEGES to the database user.

64
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Check this off, and say Next Step, and it will tell me that, Hurray!

65
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:54,000
You have added a database user to a database.

66
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,000
So everything is good.

67
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Now what I need to do is go to phpMyAdmin, and import the information to the

68
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000
database that I just created.

69
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,000
So I am going to go back to cPanel, and I am going to scroll down to the database

70
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,000
section here in cPanel, and I am going to go to phpMyAdmin.

71
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Go ahead and click that, and this is going to ask me for a Username and Password.

72
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Some Web hosts do this, and some Web hosts don't. It depends on your Web

73
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,000
host whether you will be asked for username and password or not.

74
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,000
But either way, you will wind up on the screen in phpMyAdmin. Find your Joomla

75
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,000
database over here in the left column, and click on it, and when you click on the

76
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,000
name of that database, what you should see is absolutely nothing.

77
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
It should tell you that there are no tables found in the database.

78
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,000
So what we are going to do now is import that information to this database.

79
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Very, very simple. We'll click on the Import tab right here, and we are going to

80
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Browse on our computer for that Joomla.sql file, so find that, and say Open, and

81
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,000
then we are going to go ahead, scroll down to the bottom, and say Go. That

82
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:02,000
will import all of the database directly here into our new database, and you can

83
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,000
see all of the tables are listed over there on the left column. Okay, great!

84
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,000
So we have all of our files in place, we have our database, it's populated with

85
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
information; we are good to go, right?

86
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Well, not quite yet.

87
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,000
When we were in our WAMP and MAMP environment, we had a different database name,

88
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,000
database username, and database password than we do now, and so we need to make

89
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,000
sure that these two entities can talk to each other; Joomla's

90
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,000
files, and Joomla's

91
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,000
database, and that is done through the configuration.php file.

92
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,000
So last thing we have to do is edit that.

93
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:38,000
We will go ahead and close this tab for phpMyAdmin. Back here in the File

94
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Manager, I told you to keep it open, what we were going to do is we were going

95
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,000
to scroll here, right here in the root of your Web site, right in the public

96
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,000
html, or the www folder.

97
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,000
If you scroll on down and find configuration.php, click on that, and then click

98
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,000
on the Edit button, and say Edit.

99
00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:00,000
The configuration file is really just a long string of variables, and we are just

100
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,000
going to edit some of these variables now; specifically we are going to edit the

101
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000
user, the password, and the database.

102
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,000
They are right here; these three lines.

103
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,000
MAMP people, you may have a password. WAMP people, you probably don't.

104
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,000
So now we are going to go ahead and edit this, and change it to the information

105
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000
that you just created. And you did save that information, right?

106
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000
This is a great time to open up that password manager, and make sure that you

107
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:28,000
have entered all of the information that you need to run this Web site. Someplace

108
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000
secure; I like Passpack.

109
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:35,000
All right, so I am going to Edit this now, and when you're done editing, go ahead

110
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,000
and say Save Changes, and then Close.

111
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Now, if all has gone well, if you've entered the correct database username,

112
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,000
database password, and database name, which sometimes is harder than you might think,

113
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,000
when I open up a new tab here, and I go to the URL for my Web site, which in this

114
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:58,000
case is joomla.kineteco.inc.com, my Web site should come right up for me, and I

115
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,000
should be able to navigate right on through this Web site.

116
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Everything is all good and available here. Hurray!

117
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:11,000
There is one change I need to make after the fact, and that is down here on my

118
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Login. If I click on this, I am going to log in to the Web site; I am going to

119
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:26,000
log in as joe, with my Password of 123456, and I am going to hit the Login button,

120
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,000
and notice what has just happened here.

121
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Do you see the URL at the top of the screen?

122
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:39,000
I just went from my external Web site at joomla.kineteco.inc.com, and I have been

123
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,000
redirected to localhost.

124
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,000
What just happened?

125
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:48,000
Well, what happened was when we put together the Login configuration in ACL,

126
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,000
we specified an absolute path back to localhost.

127
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,000
We need to make sure that we fix that right now.

128
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000
We can see the Web site here,

129
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,000
right here on our screen, but nobody else will be able to.

130
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,000
They will get a 404 error when they try to log in.

131
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,000
So to do this, I am going to hit my Back button, and make sure I am back at

132
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,000
joomla.kineteco.inc.com.

133
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,000
I am going to open up another tab, and I am going to go to, once again,

134
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,000
joomla.kineteco.inc.com/administrator, and I am going to log in with my revised

135
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:24,000
User Name, and Password, and now I am going to go to Menus > Footer Menu, I am going

136
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:29,000
to go to my Login, and I am going to change the URL here under Advanced Options

137
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,000
for my Login Redirect

138
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:38,000
from localhost to joomla.kinetieco.inc.com, and I am going to say Save & Close.

139
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:44,000
So now when I go to my Home page here, and now when I scroll down to click on

140
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Login, and I log in to the Web site -- it looks like I am actually logged in here, so

141
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:56,000
let me log out real quick. And I log into the Web site with joe, and my Password

142
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,000
123456, and I hit Login,

143
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:04,000
now I am in fact redirected to the distributor's page. It is the correct the URL,

144
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:09,000
and I have my For Distributors page, and I have my Edit your profile link.

145
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,000
I am going to leave joe here as a log in, so if you want to come to

146
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:18,000
joomla.kineteco.inc.com, you can log in as joe, 123456, and you can see

147
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,000
Joe's account here.

148
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:24,000
But I am going to turn off the Edit your profile link, so that you can't change

149
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Joe's information, and Joe's Password, which you would be able to do if you

150
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,000
logged into this Web site.

151
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,000
So congratulations! You have just launched your first Joomla web site.

152
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,000
I hope you feel as good as I do.
