How To MANUALLY Install Joomla 1.5 With cPanel - Part 2 of 2

***REVISION!!!
"Site Name" setting at 3:15 should be set to match your company or domain name. This value is used when members of your site receive emails from from your site, including welcome emails. You can also set this manually at any time after installation in Administration:
Site - Global Configuration - Site Settings - Server
Also - go to Site - Global Configuration - Site Settings - Site and configure the Meta Description and Meta Tags right away as it takes weeks for google to index these values. Meta Description is the summary shown on google results, and Meta Tags are keywords to help your site get indexed.

You might have to manually configure the FTP file system access layer after install if you have errors when trying to install templates. Tutorial here:

If you run into any problems, I suggest watching my tutorial on how to install Joomla on a FREE 000webhost website; If you can install it there, you can install it anywhere:

Or, if your provider has Fantastico (or similar auto-installer), you can auto-install Joomla, but you might not be getting Joomla 1.5 that way. Tutorial here:

Hi. I followed all the steps and when I went to the site, all their was was this message: No configuration file found and no installation code available. Exiting...

[alexwestconsulting]

this happens when you delete the install folder too early. at 4:35 i even have an annotation that says to be very careful at that point. there are ways of saving the installation$ at this point, by manually creating the configuration.php file, but trust me when i say that unless you really know what you are doing it is absolutely best to simply start over.

[alexwestconsulting]

the order you did things at that point did not matter so much with earlier versions of joomla 1.5 but for some reason that changed at some point and so you now HAVE TO click the site button before you delete the install folder. sorry for the trouble.

I got right to the part where you have to delete installation and it showed it didnt have a config.php. It gave you the code which I copied and pasted into the public.html but it hasnt worked. It still says no config file. Anyone have any ideas what I do next - Please!
