Trying to install the Directory Plazza on a Joomla site hosted with Siteground.com

They install templates and modules using the joomla install feature. Is there a way to use the directory_pazza_quickstartJ15.zip file and install it this way. I'm having problems to say the least. Thought I knew the basics but I guess I dont? They also use fantastico to install the joomla files and warn about deleting them? any help would be appreciated

This is a fresh install. If affordable I would be happy to compensate you for your help


Cheers,

Mike

Mike,

Ray here. We use siteground too. It is very easy to do. Here are the steps.

1. Go into the Admin of siteground. "CPanel" (Log in)
2. Uninstall using the Fantastico. This just installs the Joomla 1.5 and or uninstalls.

note:
Pazza_quickstart is Joomla 1.5 with the sample data already in it. (Key Note Here)

3. download the .zip quickstart file and place on your desktop.

4. Watch the two videos below. Follow it to a T, but do not have Joomla 1.5 installed,
be sure that it is a fresh install (use the quickstart for your fresh install)

This guy is so clear explaining this information, it will really help you. The cool thing that I did not know that you could do was upload a .zip and unpack right on the server, it took me about 4 seconds....WOW! Thank God for Server Speed!

Watch this video on YouTube. It taught me how to do this. Very Easy, but be sure to watch closely and do exactly what he does and you will be up and running in really about 5 minutes with all of the sample data in it!

I hope this really help you out. It is very empowering once you learn something that you struggle with, as I did, then help out someone else!

Good Luck,
