SobiPro Installation Requirements

• A working Joomla! website (refer to the requirements for the Joomla! version)
• Your server has to meet the SobiPro Requirements

Installation from Web

Another possibility to install SobiPro, is via the Joomla! Extensions Directory (JED). It provides its listed extensions in the Joomla! back-end with the possibility to install it directly from the extension developer's website.

To use the install from Web feature in Joomla!, make sure to have the 'Installer - Install from Web' plugin installed and enabled!

To install the SobiPro from Web, sign in to your Joomla! website administration panel (back-end), click on Extensions from the Joomla! menu bar at the top of the screen, and select Manage ➜ Install.

Once the Extension Manager screen opens, select the Install from Web tab. From the Categories list, select Directory & Documentation ➜ Directory. Find SobiPro (it is the first free directory component in the list), and click on it. In the detail page for SobiPro which opens now, click on Install.

Confirm the installation by clicking again Install.

The next screen you see will be the SobiPro Welcome Screen with SobiPro's system check to check your current server installation for the minimum requirements for SobiPro to function properly. This automated process lists the ...

SobiPro will usually fail to run on servers that have red badges settings! Please contact your system administrator or provider to get these issues solved.

Almost every setting shown in the list must be adjusted at the hosting account server level. If you do not have direct access to your hosting server environment, you may need to contact your hosting account support to make the proper changes to the server, or find another hosting environment that will meet the needs of SobiPro. Please see our recommended hosting provider.

SobiPro comes with English (en-GB) language pre-installed. The Welcome Screen, also informs you about installing other languages. Click on Repository to install a language from the repository or on Application Manager to install a language package file downloaded from our website.

Click on the Next >> button at the top right of the screen after the system check process has completed to go to SobiPro's administration panel.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed the SobiPro component, and now you can start setting up your directories!
