After enabling the service we need to secure root password for mysql database

[root@linuxhelp ~]#mysql_secure_installation
NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MariaDB
      SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE!  PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!
In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current
password for the root user.  If you've just installed MariaDB, and
you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
so you should just press enter here.
Enter current password for root (enter for none): 
OK, successfully used password, moving on...
Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MariaDB
root user without the proper authorization.
Set root password? [Y/n] y
New password: 
Re-enter new password: 
Password updated successfully!
Reloading privilege tables..
 ... Success!
 By default, a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
to log into MariaDB without having to have a user account created for
them.  This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
go a bit smoother.  You should remove them before moving into a
production environment.
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y
 ... Success!
Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'.  This
ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] y
 ... Success!
By default, MariaDB comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can
access.  This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed
before moving into a production environment.
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] y
 - Dropping test database...
 ... Success!
 - Removing privileges on test database...
 ... Success!
Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far
will take effect immediately.
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y
 ... Success!
Cleaning up...
All done!  If you've completed all of the above steps, your MariaDB

Once it completed install php 7.0

Move the file to the Apache document root directory.

[root@linuxhelp ~]# mv joomla /var/www/

After completing this step we are going to create database

[root@linuxhelp ~]#mysql –u root –p

MariaDB [(none)]> create database joomla1;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

MariaDB [(none)]> create user 'joomlauser'@localhost identified by '123456';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

MariaDB [(none)]> grant all privileges on joomla1.* to 'joomlauser'@localhost;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

MariaDB [(none)]> flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

Next we need to change the ownership and permission of the file.

[root@linuxhelp ~]# chown -R apache:apache /var/www/joomla

Create a new virtual host configuration for accessing a Joomla CMS application.

[root@linuxhelp ~]# vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/joomla.conf

<Virtualhost *:80>
	Servername www/linxuhelp1.com
	Documentroot /var/www/joomla
</Virtualhost>

Now we need to configure the host entry.

[root@linuxhelp ~]#vim /etc/hosts
192.168.7.227  www.linxuhelp1.com

After completing the following steps we need to restart the apache services.

[root@linuxhelp ~]#systemctl restart httpd

Now you can proceed the further installation and configuration from the browser by navigating to the following URL name.

we need to configure the Joomla setup as follows. First set up the user account details.

And then you need to configure database configuration.

After configuring all the setup, finalize your configuration and click on install to start the installation.

Now click on the administrator to log in as admin user.
