» [NOTE] Apache VS16 (VC15 & VC14 backward compatible): VS16 is backward compatible to VC15/14 and VC15 backward to VC14. That means for example, a VC15/14 module can be used inside a VS16 binary (for example PHP VC15/14 as module).
1) Extract the main directory, let's say JS2GO.XXXXXX, included, using 7-Zip to the ROOT of any logical partition or HD available, let's say E:\JS2GO.XXXXXX or F:JS2GO.XXXXXX... or, if no 'data only' drive or partition available, to C:\JS2GO.XXXXXX. Note that to use the system drive or partition may need to set 'Administrator Rights' giving 'full control' to user 'everyone' to the main directory C:\JS2GO.XXXXXX on some MS Windows systems to be able to install extensions or to use some components like AkeebaBackup within your Joomla! Project. Recommended to use the root of any other logical data partition or hard disk to around the mentioned potential Windows 10, 8+, 7 requirements in some particular systems.
WARNING: DO NEVER USE DEFAULT WINDOWS LOCATIONS LIKE 'DESKTOP' OR 'MY DOCUMENTS'... RUNNING JOOMLAS2GO! FROM DESKTOP WINDOWS DEFAULT LOCATION WILL MAKE MYSQL SERVER TO FAIL TO WAKE-UP AND/ OR TO RUN PROPERLY.
2) You may wish to rename the main directory as you wish but always with as much short name as possible and without blanks (on this guide, renamed E:\JS2GO.XXXXXX to E:\MyJoomla)
3) After extraction, you will see inside the new main directory, let's say E:\MyJoomla a singlejoomlas2go.exe file as follows:
- joomlas2go.exe: This file is the one you must run to start-up the servers and the preset Firefox Portable 'SpeedDial' browser window as your Desktop Development Environment with all your Joomla! Projects mapped in.
4) To shutdown the server or to access the UwAMP server GUI, close the browser window first and right-click on the new Light-Blue U icon located at the system tray, located close to the Windows clock at the down-right side of your screen and left-click on 'Stop Server‘ before to exit the UwAMP GUI
IMPORTANT: Subject to what Joomlas2Go! Pack and what Apache (1) (2) version It has bulit-in, you'll need to have one of the following Visual C++ Redistributable packages already installed in your PC:

Where My Joomla! files are located?
Your Joomla! files are, by default, located at: \joomlas2go\www\joomla**\
Where the MySQL DB tables are located?
Your MySQL DB's are, by default, located at: \joomlas2go\bin\database\mysql-x.x.x\data\
Are there specific rules or directives to take into consideration when installing a fresh Joomla! Project?
Yes! Just keep in mind the following configuration.php settings for j39+:
- To grand access to MySQL when installing Joomla!:
public $dbtype = 'mysqli'; public $host = '127.0.0.1:7188'; public $user = 'root'; public $password = 'root'; public $db = 'joomlaXXdb'; public $dbprefix = 'pr3f1x_'; public $cache_handler = 'file';
- Fixing external /logs and /tmp folders into the preset C:\\_Js2GoTMP/ folder will allow you copy or duplicate your main Joomlas2Go! folder, let's say C:\ MyJoomla to E:\MyProject01, without losing its absolute paths. Don't worry about them, those hidden folders are being deleted and recreated automatically at every joomlas2go.exe run:
public $log_path = 'C:\\_Js2GoTMP/logs'; public $tmp_path = 'C:\\_Js2GoTMP/tmp';
INFO: While working with MySQL 5.7.x, 5.6.x and even MySQL 5.5.x your DB tables may be handled through InnoDB engine... And innoDB engine needs the default \joomlas2go\bin\database\mysql-x.x.2x\data\ibdata1 that manage your DB tables structures. Just don't delete it and keep always regular backups of that file married with your DB tables.
On May 25th, 2018 the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) law came into effect. The EU GDPR required us to review and modify or Privacy policy and the following changes were, are being or are going to be made primarily in preparation for our conpliance with the new EU’s privacy law.
The GDPR call us to automatically and irreversibly delete inactive/ abandoned user accounts and their data, from our online system after a reasonable period of inactivity that we have fixed in 1 year (365 days), then ...
- Inactive account rules ...
If you have an active BASIC, SILVER or GOLD license, your account data and member rights will be kept in this site during 365 additional days from your license due date or 365 additional days from your last logged-in date, considering as the valid one the latest 'date' reference of both options.
If you have an active PREMIUM [endless] license your account data and member rights will be kept alive in this site, waiting you to return, by 365 additional days from your last logged-in date.
If you have not logged in to our site within the last 365 days (1 year), your account, member rights and any linked license(s) related data, surely were automatically deleted, as we are legally obliged by the GDPR EU law.
If you want to keep your existing account and your current member rights alive, just comeback and simply login, at least once, every 364 days.
- Your rights to be forgotten ...
On other hand, accordingly to the GDPR you have the right to directly delete your current account, your registered data and your license(s) history at anytime ... Just keep in mind this action is irreversible and can't be undone.
Your right to be forgotten ...If you wish to directly delete your account at anytime simply look for the DELETE MY ACCOUNT sub-menu under the YOUR ACCOUNT top menu, click on it and follow the given guidelines there (note you'll need to be logged in to see it).
- The HELP FORM: Our provided help form just transfers the content of your submitted FORM to our support email box and doesn't record, collect or book the data in this website or database. That eliminates any question about its GDPR compliance ;)
The GDPR ask us to facilitate to our users to set, delete, manage and/ or to export their private data we may have booked from them to provide the subscribed services if any and call us to record or log the users decissions in a timeline manner ...
This website is built on top of the Joomla! CMS, currently running a ≥ 3.9.+ version, that calls to be GDPR compliant then, we have now all its new GDPR related features enabled by default but, still some built-in add-ons (sub-processors) may need some time more, to be updated to them by their developers.

Our current system doesn't allow us to easily meet the new EU e-commerce VAT rules that took effect January, 1 2015 by applying the tax % as per the donor country location plus to correctly create its corresponding invoice automatically. Due to that tech. limitation in our current system and as the first step, we had no other choice than to limit Joomlas2Go! to be only available to non EU countries from January, 1 2015. As 2nd. step, we are still discussing internally the convenience to implement the big changes to this website to meet the new EU VAT rules by assuming its involved development cost or even considering if the best could be just to close the donation system and don't allow new members to donate and be booked. > No matter what the final decision could be, this site and latest Joomlas2Go! Packs will be punctually updated when needed and will remain available to all our current members with an active license at least till end 2021. We'll update this notification as soon as new information become available. > Many online articles arose recently about the new 2015 EU VAT rules. Just google for EU e-commerce VAT rules 2015, watch the YouTube video: How the new EU VAT rules and MOSS will affect you and if still with doubts or questions feel free to Contact us.
