One of the interesting feature about CMS is it can be installed fast enough, just a few steps – including Joomla! But the difficult one is – how to upload the installation package to the hosting server? Well, there some ways to do it. You can use fantastico feature in your host server. But if there isn’t? You can upload the archieve file to the server and then decompress it via FTP or HTTP. But if the Internet connection too slow or the FTP is blocked (just like in my campus) or the file manager of the server doesn’t have decompress feature? Well there’s a tool – thanks to the developer – called CMSDownloader. You only have to upload 2 small file and create a folder to do it. OK, I’ll explain it.
- Download CMSDownloader and extract it.
- Go to the file manager of your hosting server and go to the root of the web folder. Usually in public_html or htdocs or www/www.domain.com/
- Upload all extracted file (downloader.php and downloader2.php) and create folder named temp and make sure it’s writable.
- Access: www.yourdomain.com/downloader.php
- Here comes the welcome message.
- Choose Joomla!.
- The first field is the directory of temp folder – you have create it. And the second field is the source file of the Joomla!. Copy the latest version link from Joomlacode.org.
- You can choose FTP or HTTP. I prefer via HTTP.
- Just wait for a second.
- Done! You have successfully upload the Joomla! installation package. Now on your Internet browser, access www.yourdomain.com. And you’ll be in the installation steps.
