How to Install Joomla Using XAMPP?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 7:40 am

If you’re looking to install Joomla on your computer, there are a few different ways you can go about it. One option is to use an online installer, such as the one provided by Joomla! themselves.

This option is simple to use, but it does have a few restrictions. For example, you may not be able to install Joomla on a server with limited resources.

Another option is to install Joomla using XAMPP. This is a popular open-source platform for building web applications, and it includes everything you need to install and use Joomla.

PRO TIP: Joomla is a content management system (CMS) and XAMPP is a software stack consisting of Apache, MySQL, PHP and Perl used for local web development.

Installing Joomla using XAMPP is not recommended for live websites as it is not intended for production environments. Additionally, the XAMPP configuration files need to be modified to work with Joomla. For these reasons, it is recommended that you install Joomla on a live web server.

XAMPP also has a wide range of features and options, so you can customize it to fit your needs.

When choosing which way to install Joomla, it’s important to consider your needs. If you’re just looking to install Joomla and not use it yet, using an online installer is probably the best option.

If you want to use Joomla and also use other tools and applications on your computer, or if you want to use Joomla on a server with limited resources, then using XAMPP is the best option.
