This step-by-step guide shows how to install Joomla on Uniform Server V5.0-Nano Uniform Server is inherently portable however Joomla uses absolute paths preventing true portability this is easily resolved after installation see [[#Portability | '''portability section''']].

Copy the above to a USB memory stick and run on another PC. If a host PC is currently running another server it will prevent UniServer from running. To resolve this situation either stop, the host servers or preferably install your UniServer on different ports by moving the server. Before installing Joomla its worth reading how to [[#Move Servers |'''move servers''']].

Joomla’s configuration file is a list of variables contained in a '''class''' named '''Jconfig''' to set these variables dynamically we use the class constructor as follows:

Add this to the end of the class (just above the last curly brace) hence when the class is instantiated new paths are calculated and appropriate variables updated.

The plugin V55_Joomla_1_5_15a.exe automatically tracks the MySQL port hence no need to manually configure this when moving the servers. Plugin uses the following constructor:
