And best of all is that the new features are awesome!
Joomla 3 is the latest major release of the Joomla CMS, with Joomla 3.2 the third standard-term support release in this series. Please note that going from Joomla 3.1 to 3.2 is a one-click upgrade and is NOT a migration. The same is true is for any subsequent versions in the Joomla 3 series.
require( '/home/USERNAME/site.conf' ); ?>Make sure to replace USERNAME with your cPanel username. Then upload the new file to /home/USERNAME/public_html/configuration.php. At this point your site should still function normally. Next, we need to make the file unwritable by the server. Most FTP programs allow you to do this. Right-click on the /home/USERNAME/site.conf file and select the option to edit permissions (normally 'Permissions' or 'Info') andlets the server read the file without any problems, but it will not be able to edit the file. If you ever need to edit the file you will need to change the permissions back to 644 before making your changes. In Joomla 1.5 and newer you can do other things to archive the same result.
define('JPATH_CONFIGURATION',JPATH_ROOT);Replace it with this:
define('JPATH_CONFIGURATION',JPATH_ROOT.DS.'../design2-files');If Joomla has been installed in a subdirectory under public_html ( public_html/subdirectory/ ) then replace it with this
define('JPATH_CONFIGURATION',JPATH_ROOT.DS.'../../'.DS.'design2-files');
define('_JDEFINES', 1); define('JPATH_BASE', dirname(__FILE__));underneath the defined('_JEXEC') or die; line.
define('JPATH_CONFIGURATION', JPATH_ROOT);To put the configuration file in another location, move the file to its new home and specify the new path. As an example, if your files were in /home/exampleuser/public_html and you wanted to put configuration.php in /home/exampleuser/configuration.php, you would change the JPATH_CONFIGURATION define line to:
define('JPATH_CONFIGURATION', '/home/exampleuser');Make this change in both files, move the configuration.php file and you're done.
