To run the web server on your computer,you need to install a localhost web server on your computer.Here, i am using WAMP.WAMP runs Apache, PHP and MySQL on your computer,which are the needs to install Joomla on your PC.I am installing Joomla 1.5.

(1) First, install WAMP on your PC.Here, i am using WAMP5 1.7.3.It will create a folder C/wamp/www ( My Window XP is in C drive).
(2) Now, put the WAMP online.
(3) Then,open a browser and type localhost and press enter.Following page would appear:

(4) Then,Download Joomla 1.5 and unzip the Joomla package.
(5) Then,give any name to the unzipped folder of joomla package.Here,i am naming it "Joomla" .Paste this "joomla" folder into the "C/wamp/www"(www folder in wamp).
(6) Then,open the browser and navigate to the location of all the localhost/Joomla. You will see the first installation screen "Choose Language".Choose your language and click next.
choose language

(7) Then, "Pre-installation Check" window will appear,click next.

(8)"License" window will appear.click next.

(9) "Database Configuration" window will appear.This is the main part of the installation.In basic settings,for joomla 1.5, Database Type will be msql.Hostname will be localhost.

(10) Open the browser,go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ .In phpmyadmin,go to "Reload privileges" and add a new user with Hostname localhost and with database name.
(11) In "Database Configuration" window, write the User Name,Password and Database name.click,next.

(12) "FTP Configuration" window will open.No need to do any thing with FTP settings, because you are working on local server. Click next
.
(13) "Main Configuration" will open.Enter, Site Name,Your E-mail,Admin Password.


This window also have a option "Install Sample Data", click on that if you are new to joomla.This installs the default joomla content.After installing sample data, click next.
