2. Installation: Getting Joomla Up and R... > Time for action — running the Joomla...
You have got all the Joomla files copied to the web server and you have got a database ready to be filled. Let's finally install Joomla!
- Enter the URL for your site (for example, http://www.example.com) in your browser. The installation screen will come up.
- Select the language you want to use during the installation.
- Click the Next button. Joomla will now verify if all web hosting settings are correct.
Tip
If any of the settings in the top row doesn't meet your requirements, you can correct them and click Check Again. If
configuration.phpis not writable, this really means that Joomla can't add or change any files in your install directory. This way, Joomla won't be able create the requiredconfiguration.phpfile during installation. To make the installation directory writable, use your FTP program to change directory access permissions. After installation, you can change permissions back to their old (safer) value. To read more about file permissions, checkthe Protect files and directories section discussed in Appendix A,Keeping the Site Secure.
