To get the installation file of Mambo Open Source CMS, go to http://www.mamboserver.com or http://www.mamboforge.net Mamboserver.com is the homepage of Mambo and all new announcements are made there. On the other hand, Mamboforge.net is the official storage site where the latest releases of the base Mambo, aditional components, modules and templates are hosted. When you go to the Mamboforge.net homepage, look at the box on the right side. It has the latest releases listed. Now you are just one step away from actually installing, you are about to download the Mambo base. Click on the latest release (version 4.5.2 as of today) and download it to your PC. Now log on to your cpanel/FTP client and create a new folder named mambo or something like that. Upload your Mambo base tar.gz file and extract the contents. Now, before proceeding further, you have to go the PhpMyAdmin section of the cpanel of your host site and create a new database and give all permissions to a user with a password. Now, go the http://www.yoursite.com/mambofolder/ Now it is a cakewalk, just follow the instructions... you need to give the name of the database, username and password and then everything will be smooth. Then go to the administration section and play around. Download and install more components, modules and mambots... You will just enjoy it. If you need any help, you may either post here or go to http://www.mambers.com which is a forum of Mambo users where common problems are discussed and sorted out. |
