Joomla¶

The OpenLiteSpeed Joomla One-Click app is based on a standard CyberPanel image, but includes several great performance enhancements, including LiteSpeed's popular LSCache plugin. This Joomla + OpenLiteSpeed + LSCache image tends to be much faster than a regular Joomla image!

CyberPanel provides a One-Click installer to automatically install OpenLiteSpeed, LSCache, WordPress, Prestashop, Joomla and git. It also automates the initial setup for components like Mail service and DNS, to reduce the time it takes to get set up for hosting.

Quick Start¶

Step 1.¶

Step 2.¶

From a terminal on your local computer, connect to the server as root, like so:

ssh root@use_your_server_ip

ssh username@use_your_server_ip

# Instead of using "username" to SSH with, you can find the right username here: 
# Google Cloud Platform > Project > Compute Engine > Metadata > SSH Keys > Username

ssh ubuntu@use_your_server_ip

Be sure to substitute the server’s public IP address for use_your_server_ip. You can also use Cloud Console if the platform supported

Step 3.¶

Setup your account and first Joomla site by command line

Create website:

cyberpanel createWebsite --package Default --owner admin --domainName example.com --email support@example.com --php 7.4

cyberpanel installJoomla --domainName example.com --password yourpassword --siteTitle "Demo Site"

cyberpanel issueSSL --domainName example.com

Be sure to substitute the domain for example.com and password for yourpassword

Step 4.¶

Visit the Server’s IP or Domain in your browser to see the joomla site http://Server_IP/ on your browser and you should see Sample Blog.

You can also enter http://Server_IP/administrator/ to get the Joomla administration page
