How to Host Joomla Based Website in web-server or localhost(use if u want to create backup in another computer)
1-> upload all the files related to your website to your webserver or local server(for backup)
2-> take database dump for website from your mysql server by using phpMyAdmin in your
localhost through export option
3->create the database with relavant name which best suits to represent the website in your
mysql server and import the database backup file .
4->Configure :
Up to now, if you try to access your website, you will probably be given an error. This is because the configuration.php file you had on your local server does not contain the information related to your hosting account details. As stated previously, if your host has already installed Joomla for you, you should leave the configuration.php file created unchanged. Otherwise you will need to change the following critical details:
Joomla 1.5
var $host = 'localhost'; - this is the address of the server which is hosting your MySQL database
var $user = 'sqluser'; - this is the name of the username which will be used to access the Joomla MySQL database
var $password = 'p@ssw0rd'; - password for MySQL database
var $db = 'j15stable'; - MySQL Joomla database name
var $log_path = '\home\logs'; - the path where any log files will be stored
var $tmp_path = '\home\tmp'; - the path for tmp files
for localhost do changes in $db and $password
