Assuming you have already uploaded the Joomla! core pack of files to your Web root directory, be it on your
local machine or a remote host, the next step is to start your Web browser and enter the URL to your Web
site. There are a number of options open to you in this process:
● This may simply be http://localhost/joomla for a local installation, or
www.yourdomain.com
for a
remote installation.
● If you have installed Joomla! in a sub directory of your Web root then you will need to add that
directory to the end of the address for example http://localhost/joomla/test or
www.yourdomain.com/joomla
.
● If you have installed Joomla! as a sub-domain on a remote host this might appear as
www.joomla.yourdomain.com
.
