Installing RocketLauncher template over Fantastico install - Joomla 1.x
Posted 16 years 11 months ago-
Hello everyone,
I am new to the site and forum and have yet to make a post, but I think I may have come up with a solution for those that want to install RocketLaucher over their current Fantastico installation. I have searched the forum for this many times, and it maybe out there, I could just not find it. I used this method to install the Equinox RocketLauncher on Joomla 1.x. under a HostGator hosted site.
1. Install your new Joomla site as normal with the Fantastico installer. You can put the sample data in if you like.
2. After the installation is complete, go to the install directory and copy down the configuration.php file.
3. Delete ALL the files in the directory that you just installed with Fantastico.
4. Upload the RocketLaucher template files into that directory.
5. Go through the normal steps to install the RocketLauncher template and when you are prompted for the DB settings (user, password, db name, etc.) just refer to your original config.php that you saved.
6. BE SURE TO CHECK THE BOX TO DROP EXISTING TABLES
6. Continue the installation and complete by deleting the installation directory.
7. Your Done!
This may seem to be more work for some, but for newbies that have the trouble creating the databases and knowing what params go where, this is a quick 10 minute solution to get up and running without a lot of hassle.
I am assuming this would work with Joomla 1.5 and I will try this next and put out another post with the results.
