Once this package is installed, there are a few configuration items which need
to be performed before the application is usable.  First, you need to install
Mysql database and corresponding php modules:

# urpmi mysql php-mysql

Then, you need to establish a username and password to connect to your
MySQL database as, and make both MySQL and Joomla aware of this.
Let's start by creating the database and the username / password
inside MySQL first:

  # mysql
  mysql> create database joomla;
  Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

  mysql> grant all privileges on joomla.* to joomla identified by 'joomla';
  Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

  mysql> flush privileges;
  Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

  mysql> exit
  Bye
  #

Under certain curcumstances, you may need to run variations of the "grant"
command:
mysql> grant all privileges on joomla.* to joomla@localhost identified by 'joomla';
   OR
mysql> grant all privileges on joomla.* to joomla@'%' identified by 'joomla';

This has created an empty database called 'joomla', created a user named
'joomla' with a password of 'joomla', and given the 'joomla' user total
permission over the 'joomla' database.  Obviously, you'll want to select a
different password, and you may want to choose different database and user
names depending on your installation.  The specific values you choose are
not constrained, they simply need to be consistent between the database and the
config file.

Once that's done and the database server and web server have been started, 
 in your favourite web browser, enter following URL :
http://localhost/joomla/  and 
follow the instructions given to you on the pages you see to set up the 
database tables. Then, when required, removed the directory 
/var/www/joomla/installation/.
