Now that we have set up our SQL Server it's time to set up Joomla. Start your WampServer, click on the the icon in your task bar, then choose Localhost. From here the install process for this quite simple, really all you have to do for the first three steps is just answer a few questions.

It's when you come to step four that you have to start looking at what's going on. In step four you are asked if about your database type, host name, user name and password. Your database should be set to mysql. Since we are setting this up on the local machine the host will be set to localhost. The username and password are the ones you set up when created the database.

The next screen you see should be the Main Configuration. In this screen you will give your site a title, email address, and admin password. Once you have finished that you're done. Now all you have to do is start building your site.

Good luck.
