[root@linuxhelp1 ~]# cd /var/www/html [root@linuxhelp1 html]# mkdir joomla [root@linuxhelp1 html]# cd [root@linuxhelp1 ~]# cp Joomla_3.5.1-Stable-Full_Package.zip /var/www/html/joomla/ [root@linuxhelp1 ~]# cd /var/www/html/joomla/ [root@linuxhelp1 joomla]# ls Joomla_3.5.1-Stable-Full_Package.zip [root@linuxhelp1 joomla]# unzip Joomla_3.5.1-Stable-Full_Package.zip Archive: Joomla_3.5.1-Stable-Full_Package.zip inflating: LICENSE.txt inflating: README.txt creating: administrator/ . . . inflating: templates/system/index.php inflating: templates/system/offline.php creating: tmp/ inflating: tmp/index.html inflating: web.config.txt
If you extract the files into a folder named as " Joomla" , then your site will be accessed at yoursitename.com/Joomla.

Apache Server Configuration
If you are going to host only your Joomla website under Apache server, then create a separate host for your Joomla site.
Open the Apache configuration file with your editor
[root@linuxhelp1 ~]# vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
And search the directive as follows and change it appropriate.
ServerName www.linuxhelp1.com:80
User and Group must be apache
Restart and enable the Apache service using the following command.
[root@linuxhelp1 ~]# systemctl restart httpd.service
[root@linuxhelp1 ~]# systemctl enable httpd.service
Verify the httpd is running and listening the request on port 80
[root@linuxhelp1 ~]# netstat -antp | grep httpd
tcp6 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN 14665/httpd
To create Joomla Database
Login with root to MySQL interface and create the database.
[root@linuxhelp1 ~]# mysql -u root -p Enter password: Welcome to the MariaDB monitor. Commands end with or g. Your MariaDB connection id is 80 Server version: 5.5.47-MariaDB MariaDB Server Copyright (c) 2000, 2015, Oracle, MariaDB Corporation Ab and others. Type ' help ' or ' h' for help.
