Plesk 11.x / Windows :: Can't Install Joomla Properly
Apr 21, 2014I registered my domain yesterday and the company where I registered (Webstekker) forwarded me to this website where they obviously have there websites. I wanted to start immediately with my website. I can install Wordpress properly, so will it show easy fast made html text files.
Joomla is the one I want and need to use. I tried to install it via the application tab in either httpdocs and httpdocs/joomla. I tried custom install via the application tab, but didn't work.
Then I tried to copy the files myself via FTP to the server and tried to install it again. Made MySQL databases, but I get stucked on the last installation page where it did ask me if I wanted to install some examples. Whatever I choose it won't go further. Nvm, when I go back to the domain itself, it says I have to delete the installation map (as it should ask when install is actually finished). When I delete the installation map, my domain has no content, nothing. I can however, login via the domain/administrator
So there is something installed, the back end is working, but a website also needs some frontpage right?
The domain we are talking about is[URL]
Hosting For Joomla
Jun 15, 2008I am going to start a new personal / business website which will feature articles along with pictures and few videos, all managed through Joomla. I recently visited the official Joomla forum and found a thread which posted guidelines on choosing a proper Joomla hosting.
forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?t=95678
3. The most security conscious hosts turn PHP's Register Globals directive OFF by default. The next best allow you to turn it off in local .htaccess or php.ini files. A host that requires you to run a site with Register Globals ON should be avoided. This is true for any PHP enabled site, whether or not you are running Joomla!. There is a legitimate argument to be made by hosts for keeping Register Globals ON for PHP4 sites. This is that it would break too much legacy code. This argument should not be accepted for a PHP5 installation. Beginning with PHP5, the official PHP recommendation was to keep Register Globals is OFF. Note that beginning with PHP6, there will not even be a Register Globals setting, so don't get caught in a Register Globals backwater. Modify your code to work without Register Globals, and choose a host that encourages such practices.
6. Be sure users on your shared server can't view each other's files and databases, for example through shell accounts and cpanels.
7. Choose a host that provides real information about security compromises, rather than simply shutting your site down. Check their user forums for evidence of how they've responded to cracks in the past. A good host may for example, inform you immediately that a security breach has occurred and will quarantine the problem file for you, while leaving it there for further investigation. A poor host will shut your site down and provide very limited information on why. Watch out! All too many do this.
8. Be sure you have access to raw server logs. Reading these logs is a vital part of site security and recovery.
9. Choose a host that limits the number of users per machine and the average CPU load per machine to some reasonable number (depending on hardware). Be sure they proactively move user sites as needed to balance load. Check the number of domains on a server using reverse IP lookup.
10. Choose a host that manages it's own data center. Check the data center infrastructure, such as redundant Internet access, hot swappable backups, full daily backups, environment and access controls, emergency generators, etc.
11. Check that your host is not at risk of having its IP addresses blocked because it hosts porn or SMAM sites.
What alarmed me was #3, #6-#11
My Question is, how the hell am I supposed to check for these flaws? I thought I was going to settle down with Hostgator or Hostmonster, but now I am not sure.
If Hostmonster or Hostgator do not meet these requirement, can someone be kind enough to suggest some?
I don't expect that much of traffic, so I want to keep the budget minimal: below $8. I know that by limiting this budget, I am limiting the quality of hosting, but I am not ready to commit my resource to my first site: just an experimentation of my limits.

Feb 18, 2013I have a problem. I am running Plesk 11 with Windows 8. I installed wordpress and joomla. If I want to make one update from joomla 3.0 to 3.0.3 I get the error Internal Server error 500.
In Wordpress I get a error, too: By the update from 3.5 to 3.5.1 i get the error: The directory is write protect or not available.
In WordPress I instert in the wp-config.php following.
define( 'WP_TEMP_DIR', ABSPATH . 'wp-content/' );
Now, does the updates to WordPress and plugins work.
My question is, I am running not only one website with WP. How can I make the settings for all WP instances running on the server? And How can I fix it with the Joomla update?
Free Hosting For Joomla
Nov 2, 2008I'm hungarian and my english is not very well. So I'm looking for a free hosting with the most space (for videos etc.) and in which Joomla can run correctly. I've been looking for a hosting like this for weeks now but I couldn't find any. I would be really grateful if anyone can show me a hosting like that.

Apr 17, 2009I am in the process of creating a site for my family, which is spread out around the world. I am using Joomla and have built my site on Siteground as my host.
My site will have low traffic, for family only, but I want my family to be able to post pictures, chat and blog.
I am very happy with Siteground but it has come to my attention that even though they offer 750gb of space I can only have up to 5gb of picture files (gif, jpg, etc.) I feel that I will eventually exceed this and being new at the whole site creation, I do not want to risk data being lost (database, files, etc.) when the time comes to transfer to a new host.
The site is not active yet as I am still working out the kinks and adding more pages. I figure if I am going to make a move to another host now would be the best time.
So I guess the question I have is what hosts, in your opinions, would be the best for the site I explained and still be able to work in Joomla.

Good Hosting Site For A Joomla Based Environment?
Jun 3, 2008my friend and i are working on some web-based-commerce ideas and at current we're at godaddy.com. i can only imagine the vitriol they've rightfully earned here, as we decided to be done with them when the $30 SSL license they told us we could get one night quickly became $78 because there was a new "turboSSL server" package we needed, nevermind the guy the first time said with our hosting options we only needed to go through them for the SSL license, so basically, either the first guy lied to us or the second guy tried to hustle us, either way, i dont like companies whose sales model is revealed like the plot in a horror movie, so we're looking to go elsewhere.
basically we're looking for a virtual private server setup, although actually another question i'd love to ask someone is if joomla is better served on unix/linux or windows, with a few dozen accounts needed, and by accounts i mean domains and whatnot, as right now it's basically the blanket idea that you grab the names you need, or might go to if you change your mind on company names...
so basically, with all the people here talking about bad experiences with places, are there any good experience type places where someone can get competent tech support, no hustling in sales pitches, and quality service at a nice solid price?
again, sorry to show up and start asking for things, but i'm not necessarily well versed in these arts yet... rest assured once i have some information i shall contribute to the community and help others who are in my position now

Best Host For Joomla
Jan 30, 2009I am currently on a host that is offering unlimited bandwidth, however they are not that great as the site keeps going slow.

May 10, 2009I am in charge of making a website for a charter school. Where I stand right now is I am going to use Joomla, and I assume Fantastico. Now where I am still stuck is with a webhost. Every time I locate one that sounds good (editor's picks, and such), I read the feedback comments and find tons of complaints. Can someone recommend one please. Under $10; user friendly; accepts Paypal would be very helpful. I went to get Bluehost, as an example, from some reviews I read, and then I read the feedback section. I don't think I understand the terms enough to make a choice on my own,

Dec 9, 2008I currently have a VPS in the UK that I host my clients joomla sites off and the specs of this VPS server are as below:
- 20 GB SA-SCSI Disk Space
- 350GB bandwidth
- Full root access / Parallels/WHM/cPanel
- 2 Dedicated IPs
- 384 MB SLM RA
I am now running around 10 joomla based sites off of this VPS, 5-6 of which are Ecommerce based sites. Whilst I am probably only using 10gb of the overall disk-space so far, in terms of performance, should I continue to add clients to this server or should I keep the more hungry sites on this server and move some of the less resource intensive non-ecommerce sites to another VPS? Or would it be in my best interest to upgrade to a Dedicated server where I will have all my own resources?
Joomla VPS Host
May 20, 2008I have a joomla site running on a new unmanaged VPS at FutureHosting.biz and it is performing very poorly.
I am not a server admin but i copy the same CMS and database to a shared account i have access to and the site runs much faster. That shared account happens to be a SiteGround server which if possible, i would like to stay away from.
I have had bad experience with SG so i am contemplating, MidPhase, as an option for VPS support.
I was also considering LunarPages and HostGator but their recent datacenter problems and poor reviews i want to stay away from them as well.
I really want to find a quality host who has experience managing large joomla based sites.

100% Joomla Compatible VPS
Dec 4, 2008I currently have a VPS server and I run a lot of joomla based sites for my clients and having done a bit of research, mediatemple has come up as being a well-recommended hosting provider for joomla based installations in the sense that the servers are all ready and configured for joomla, where chmodding does not need to be done once a joomla installation has been done - something I find very tedious after each joomla install.
Can anyone recommend a Manage VPS provider that would fully support Joomla from the point of when its first installed and its ready to go like I have said above and also be able to keep the joomla sites running optimal performance.
Performance And Joomla
Sep 30, 2008I was a victim/winner due to slashdot yesterday. My site, www.electricalengineer.com runs Joomla hosted through Rackforce's dds-400l package. We thought we were under attack yesterday, but later found it to be the slashdot effect. Anyhow, google analytics show ~5700 visitors. This doesn't seem like it would be enough to slow the server to a halt, but it did. Rackforce suggested that we upgrade to a more powerful package. I'm not sure though that the following should have slowed us down: Dual Quad-Core Xeon
1GB DDR2 ECC 667 RAM
30GB on SAS/SCSI
10Mbps Dedicated Unmetered
anyone else have performance issues with Joomla?
Joomla Site
Jul 15, 2007I have a big joomla no profit site on a shared host.
Actually the site has 1500/2000 unique at month with 10.000/12.000 pages at day.
Not to much the consume of bandwith.. we have not viedo or heavy images or audio files.. so we consume 12/13 gb at month.
Probabily in the next month we cold grow for ten times... with 15.000 or more unique at day.
So in this vps must be only one site.
How much much ram could be necessary? 512?
Two things that we use.. Cpanel or Plesk ot manage this site and a daily backup on the server but we need to download a backup even 3 or 4 days in our local pc.
Best Webhost For Joomla
Feb 15, 2007I'm getting ready to upgrade my site to Joomla and am learning all these things about security issues. For example, the register globals on my webserver is turned on and I can't turn it off unless I go to a dedicated server and pay 3X per month of what I'm paying now. And there's other things too about this particular webhost.
Just wondering if anyone can give any input from experience on who is a good webhost for a Joomla site with regards to security, etc.
VPS JOOMLA Memory Issue?
Apr 23, 2007I have a VPS account that keeps going down. I am on VPS account with 7GB and 128MB/192MB. I have one site running a Joomla manged website. The other site just host pictures, and receive emails. So about a two site for emails. One site for pictures and one Site serving Joomla based website. The control panel is CPANEL/WHM. I asked my provider why this keeps happening and they are stating CPANEL is a memory hog and would recommend I go to there next available plan that has 256MB. My question is does this sound like the memory should be an issue for such a small VPS Server. I plan on adding more sites and possible some E-Commerce. BUt there next plan up seems like it would be to small 12GB 256. I was thinking of ging with GODADDY Vps account.

Joomla Wrapper And Redirection
Apr 16, 2007I am using joomla and a script called Olate Download for my site. So I have made olate to display in a joomla wrapper.
what i want to know is how to redirect the olate pages to the joomla wrapper. the pages when indexed in google etc are linked directly to the olate without the wrapper. so what i would like to do is redirect all the incoming olate links to the joomla wrapper ( i understand it will be same page) but also want the search engines to index the olate pages without any problems.
i think this can be done using htaccess. so someone please tell me how to create such a rule. it should redirect all the users which is not reffered from my site to the joomla wrapper except search engine spiders.
