    Installing a Joomla! Test Environment in Windows - Installing the JSAS package.


    (Page 2 of 4 )

    Double click the downloaded binary to start the standard Windows installation.  Press next and then choose to accept the license agreement.  Continue pressing next to use all of the default settings.

    After you have installed the JSAS package, you will find a JSAS shortcut on your desktop.  This will open the JSAS Control Panel where you can control your Joomla! installation and sites very easily.  The first time you attempt to launch this you will be presented with the message below.

    After pressing the OK button, all of the Joomla! files are extracted in your web root.  You will now need to do a bit of basic configuring to your new installation.

    You will be asked to choose a drive letter for JSAS to use.  This driver letter will be used to map a virtual drive to your “server” root.  The default is W.  Unless that drive letter is in use there is no real need to change it.

    Once the drive letter is assigned, JSAS will need to restart to make the changes.  Click the OK button on the dialog box.  JSAS will exit and then restart itself for you.  This time the control panel will open.

    The second time the JSAS control panel is opened, it launches the Apache and MySQL servers.  If you have Service Pack installed on Windows XP, you may be presented with the dialogs below.  Alternatively, your own firewall program may prompt you with something similar.

     

    Regardless of what firewall solution you are using, make sure that you choose to unblock or allow access to these programs.  They require the use of certain TCP/IP ports in order to function properly.
