Install Joomla 3.1.1 on CentOS 6

First install apache and configure to start up upon reboot:

yum install httpd
chkconfig --levels 235 httpd on
service httpd start

Add the iptables rule on /etc/sysconfig/iptables file and restart the iptables (if you have OS firewall enabled):

-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
service iptables restart

Now the MySQL database server:

Install:

yum install mysql-server

Change Startup:

chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on

service mysqld start

Secure installation:

/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

enter for none password

press Y and enter the new root password.

Remove the anymous users

Disallow the root login remotely

Remove test database and access to it

Reload privileges

After that, we need to create a user and a database for joomla:

mysql -u root -p
enter the root password
CREATE DATABASE joomla;
CREATE USER 'joomla@localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'insertyourpassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON joomla.* TO joomla@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'insertyourpassword';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit

The PHP turn:

yum install -y php php-mysql php-xml
service httpd restart

And if your theme requires to upgrade to PHP 5.4.4:

wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm
rpm -Uvh remi-release-6*.rpm 
yum --enablerepo=remi upgrade php-mysql php-devel php-gd php-pecl-memcache php-pspell php-snmp php-xmlrpc php-xml

Visit http://localhost or <ip_address>, complete initialization by entering database information as setup earlier and voila! Pat yourself on the back!
