Is there any way i can install joomla extensions by just uploading files and manually insert things in database using xml file.
i mean what joomla does in backend , i want to do that using shell script
Properly coded extensions will have an SQL file that can be run through your DB manager. The rest of the files need to be uploaded to the proper location. It's pretty simple really.

Currently I will upload a website to a server, but before I upload it I want to run this website on my localhost (I'm using XAMPP).
They gave me an archive containing the website files, based on the structure of the webfiles I realize TYPO3 is used.
Since I never tried using TYPO3, I tried installing it I followed this steps:
here
After the installation I run the sample, so far I don't have a problem running it on my web browser.
But when I tried to run the website that I need to upload
I'm getting an error.
here are the files inside the archive.
Here is after I extract it. As you can see I wasn't able to extract typo3_src which is the target location of index.php, t3lib and typo3 file that are all both in .symlink type.
And also the typo3 is not in folder type unlike the sample I run.
I'm not sure if the archive is broken/corrupted or I need something to do first before it will work. Can someone please help me regarding this issue?
You do not need to deal with those unix symlinks at all.
Just figure out or ask the person who provided you with that system, which version of TYPO3 you need to use.
Then go to https://sourceforge.net/projects/typo3/files/TYPO3%20Source%20and%20Dummy/ and download the appropriate zip package.
Decompress the package, delete all symlinks (typo3, t3lib, index.php) and just copy the corresponding resources from the package.
You then need to deal with the database and database connection settings in typo3conf/localconf.php or typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php.
If it all works, you can then upload it like this to the server without using any symlinks.
I am working on a moodle based project, which I inherited from someone else. Having copied the files into htdocs folder and started MAMP, the files still don't show in the browser. Instead, the browser automatically initiates a download. I might be required to change the config file, however, since I do not have much experience with php and SQL I am not sure what exactly. My part of the project is to develop html and css, but need to be able to run it locally first.
What do I need to do to get the files run locally? The route I use is localhost:8888/whatever/whatever/index.php
In case someone else runs into the same problem - Apache downloads php files instead of reading them - here is what helped me.
.htaccess file may need changes if the application has changed servers.
Delete (at least rename if you don't want to remove it) config.php and run the application through the browser. It should initiate install automatically.
To run php and SQL I used MAMP.
I want to make my php project distributable like .exe file.
is it possible to customize wamp or xampp to inclue my project folder in that so i can ask client to install that wamp/xampp and my project will be automaticall setup on their system
Check out phar for creating a php archive.
Using uWamp server we can bundle php project with mysql and distribute it easily. Check this
I am trying to upgrade joomla 1.5.15 to 1.5.23
I have downloaded the Joomla_1.5.15_to_1.5.23-Stable-Patch_Package from the joomlacode.org.
While trying to install this package from my administrator, the error will be displayed "Error! Could not find an XML setup file in the package.".
Or
Shall I extract this zip file and upload the files to server directly through FTP?
Please advise me..
Any help appreciated.
I would recommend a 3-step process personally to ensure the best possible outcome.
First - backup your site (I LOVE Akeeba Backups 1-touch backup solution); download the backed up site and install on a local host or development server.
Second, do your upgrade there (extract the files from the .zip and put them in the localhost/dev server installation).
Make sure that the upgrade didn't break anything, that everything still works appropriately and as expected and create a backup of the localhost/dev server site.
At that point you know the upgrade won't break anything.
Third, upload the unzipped files from version 1.5.23 via FTP into your root joomla directory (complete the upgrade as listed HERE.
Doing these steps will ensure the best possible outcome and will show absolutely ZERO disruptions on your live site in the event something you're currently using doesn't like the jump from .15 to .23 - which is a large jump and a lot of things are different (including which version of mootools is included!) So take caution and TEST FIRST!
I would advice you to do this::
Assuming you have access to all the files of website.
1.Now download directly 1.5.23 or 1.5.26 version(last update patch of this series.)
2.Extract the files and open them,you will notice them you need to only replace 4-5 files in that patch.
3.Copy each file and replace them with the current files in the existing websites.
Hope this helps.
I need a php installation script for a Joomla (or whatever) site, like fantastico or softaculous.
The problem is, I don't need a standard installation. I want to add some extensions and add some settings to the installation.
Where can I find a good base for this?
Thanks
I think softaculous itself has custom scripts support :
http://demo.softaculous.com/index.php?act=customscripts
http://www.softaculous.com/docs/api
Softaculous also supports custom scripts support, you can try that.
Otherwise, just create a simple PHP script which just copies your Joomla script into a directory with preconfigured configuration files (Like wordpress has wp-config.php). and write a script to import database which joomla provides. This is what every Script installer does.
Let me know if you need further info.
