Joomla! runs on the php pre-processor. Php comes in many flavors, for a lot of operating systems. Beside php you will need a web server. Most of the times Apache is used, but also php can run on different web-servers like Microsoft IIS. Joomla! also depends on a database, for this currently you can only use MySQL.
Many people know from their own experience that it's not easy to install an Apache web server and it gets harder if you want to add MySQL, PHP and Perl. XAMPP is an easy to install Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP and Perl. XAMPP is really very easy to install and to use - just download, extract and start. You can even install it on your local desktop or laptop with Windows XP.
The minimum version requirements are:
- Apache 1.x or 2.x
- PHP 4.3 or up
- MySQL 3.23 or up

No you don't. Versions of MySql lower than 4.1 do not have build in utf-8 support. However, Joomla! 1.5 has made provisions for backward compatibility and is able to use utf-8 on older databases. Let the installer take care of all settings and there is no need to make any changes to the database (charset, collation or any other). |

Well... how about never needing to mess with encoding settings again? Ever needed to display several languages on one page or site and something always came up in Giberish? With utf-8 (a variant of Unicode) glyphs (charcter forms) of all basically all languages can be displayed with one single encoding setting. For example if you might wish to say WELCOME in as many language possible you could do the following: |
