Trying to set up a joomla test website - can't get beyond database set up.

Hi. I am new to Mac OSX server, and I purchased a mini with 10.6.3 server so that I could build and test some websites locally.
I am trying to install Joomla, and i can not get past the database configuration page.
I am new to Apache / MySQL / PHP / Unix etc... I used Navicat to "create" (I am also new to navicat) a database named Joomla. I also created a user in Navicat called testuser, and gave the user a password. I also THINK I gave that user all privledges. But when I select Next, the page does not give any warnings, it doesn't even seem to refresh, but I can't get anywhere beyond this. I am not even sure what logs to check for errors, or how to get beyond this point. Any advice? Did I not set something up that needs to be set up?

HI franklyhollywood:
Joomla is easy to set up (install) once Mysql and PHP is properly set up. CMS (Content Management
System) websites are the way to go. I am migrating all my sites to CMS, either full CMS or Partial
CMS. The Server Guys (and Girls) can help you get it set up properly. If you don't want the hassle
of configuring MySql and PHP on your Mac, use the preconfigured MAMP setup:
http://www.mamp.info/en/index.html
I am only interested in the final product (the website), so I chose MAMP to handle the database and
scripting language (PHP) chores. MAMP can be Installed, configured and up and running in minutes,
leaving me free to develop and make ready my sites for uploading to their eventual home on my
hosting provider's server.

  • I have tried to download Firefox, and my screen shows Firefox setup 3.6 at the bottom. How do I get Firefox? I can never get beyond the set up and information screen.

    I downloaded Firefox 3.6. It asks me if I want tot save it. I enter save. Then it goes to the introduction to the features of Firefox. How do I go beyond that. Also, if I leave the site, ie-get off the internet, then get back on later, the website again asks me if I want to download and save Firefox 3.6.

    After you download '''Firefox Setup 3.6.3.exe''', you must double click on this file. Usually, you can find this either on your desktop or in your Downloads folder.
    Your Downloads folder is located inside Documents.

  • Just got a new mac computer and none of the music from my old computer's itunes transfered when I transfered the contents of the hard drive.  Now I'm trying to transfer music from my ipod and can't get all the files....help?

    Just got a new  computer and none of the music from my old computer's itunes transfered when I transfered the contents of the old hard drive.  Now I'm trying to transfer music from my ipod and can't get all the files....help please?

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    Have you failed to do this?
    If so, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    You may be able to purchase a third partyn program to get the rest ( not supported by Apple)

    I can't change my Apple ID.  It would mess all my stuff up.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    And, you are sure you have provided the correct username and password for you email account? I'm not familiar with Virgin media, so you might contact their tech support to find out why you are having a problem sending mail but none receiving mail. I assume your mail account has always been POP3 and not IMAP. Typically, the outgoing mail servers are not the same for the different types of account service.

  • Macbook upgraded from 10.5.8 to mountain lion. I lost the update when I tried to restore my old information. How can I get my update back without paying again?

    I took my mac to an iStore in South Africa however my country does not have an iStore. Macbook upgraded from 10.5.8 to mountain lion. I lost the update when I tried to restore my old information. How can I get my update back without paying again?

    Ok, that sounds like a valid approach...but now the question is, when you say you lost the upgrade when you tried to restore, exactly what do you mean?  Restore from a Time Machine backup, or another kind of backup?  What happened to the operating system when you did that?
    If it damaged the operating system, you should be able to recover it by restarting your computer holding either the Option key (should result in a grey screen that shows the macintosh hard drive and a recovery hard drive), or by holding the Command and R keys while starting.
    You can use the recovery hard drive to reinstall Mac OS X either way.  If the Option key restart, click on the recovery hard drive to boot from that.
    Then with either approach you will have a screen with a drop-down that gives you choices, such as install Mac OS X, Disk Utility, Terminal.  You will want to use Install (or Reinstall) Mac OS X...note, you must be connected to the internet from this point on.

    What are the paths to the Starling files and what are the compiler options you are using?
