I have not yet written about Joomla!, but it’s time I do. It’s one of my deep held secrets because it works, and it works well as a CMS. I won’t go into it here, just keep an eye open for more articles on the subject. This one is about a backup utility for Joomla! that you can use to move Joomla! powered sites around. Even from your local computer’s WAMP or LAMP lab, out to a live site on the internet.
Just a quick note, but I came across something I have not yet, because I have not sat down and read the documentation on 2007 and 2010 yet! Shame on me, but experience is a great teacher… That said, I was sitting out at the ferry dock on Boingo Wireless the other day, and noticed a certificate warning. Well, I already have a UCC cert in place since I’m hosting for two domains on IIS and using host headers, both mail and remote (SBS server). So what was going on was, I did not yet sign into Boingo, so all my requests were being dumped to their default page, and of course, Outlook can’t connect until you log in. So I also found that I got the same thing from home, and had not yet registered autodiscover.domain.com. Just added it to the UCC, and made sure that all my external facing sites were correct under the client hub, and all was good, autoconfiguration when setting up a new mail account works flawlessly, including RPC over HTTP settings. Awesome!
I have always followed CookIT services guide on installing Big Brother as a guideline, and it has worked very well. It’s intended use is for Solaris, but it gives you what you need for a successful installation. Regarding the section to install RRDTool and LARRD, there are some differences and things to note.
