Creating a New site
- Download the latest Joomla install package (<packagefile>)
- On the server:
- cd /var/www/html/joomla
- mkdir <newsitedir>
- Using ftp, copy the install package (<packagefile>) from the HD to the <newsitedir>

- In the installation folder,
- touch configuration.php
- chmod 777 configuration.php
- start phpmyadmin
- Get the password from the secret admin wiki
- click on home and under "create new database" type a new <dbname> (make it up)

- Steps 1-3: NEXT
- Step 4: (Database Configuration), type or select the following:
- mysql, localhost, root, <mysql password>, <dbname>
- Step 5: NEXT
- Step 6: type in the following:
- Site name (can be same as <dbname> for ease of remembering), email, make up a NEW password (type twice)
- NEXT (do not install sample data)
- Remove installation directory
- rm -rf installation
- Run batch file joomlaScript which should be in ../joomla, by typing
- ../joomlaScript (while being in the <newsitedir>)
