VirtueMart 1.1 Installation Tutorial
9
Manual Installation is a little bit harder than the automatic installation.
1. Download the Manual Installation Package (this is just another Package Form of VirtueMart).
2. Unpack the archive file VirtueMart_x.x_Manual-Installation-Package.tar.gz
you have downloaded in Step 1 to a local directory using Winzip or Winrar.
You should now see at least four directories. The directory structure in those directories is the same
as in your Joomla! / Mambo site:
/administrator
/components
/mambots (/plugins for Joomla! 1.5)
/modules
3. Open up an FTP Connection to your site, navigate to the root directory of your Joomla!/Mambo
site and upload the directories.
Tip
The FileZilla FTP Client [http://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client] is a
fabulous FTP client (Open Source!) and reports transfer errors, so you know if everything
has been successfully uploaded or not.
You will probably have to confirm overwriting some existing files in these directories.
4. Login in to the Backend (Administration) of your site (http://www.your_site.com/
administrator/).
5. When having logged in, you see this URL in the address bar:
http://www.yoursite.tld/administrator/index2.php
In Joomla! 1.5 it's http://www.yoursite.tld/administrator/index.php
6. Now just add "?option=com_virtuemart" after index2.php, so it looks like this in your
browser's address bar:
http://www.yoursite.tld/administrator/index2.php?
option=com_virtuemart
and hit Enter.
7. You should now see the "Installation was successful..." Screen. There you can click on "GO TO
THE SHOP >>" or "INSTALL SAMPLE DATA >>" (when you want to have some sample
Products and Categories in your Shop). That's it for the first.
8. To install the Modules and Mambots/Plugins for VirtueMart, follow the instructions of the
Automatic Installation, Step 6 and Step 7. If this doesn't help you, because NO automatic
installations are possible, you can manually upload the files (you have probably already done this
in step 3).
Modules and Mambots/Plugins require entries in the tables jos_mambots/jos_plugins and
jos_modules before they can be used.
You need to add these entries by uploading an SQL file (using phpMyAdmin [http://
phpmyadmin.net]) that contains all necessary queries:
/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/sql/
virtuemart.installation.addons.joomla.sql
