Problems With Installing Joomla On Ubuntu 9.10 Please Help!?
February 2, 2010 under FAQ
I am currently trying to install Joomla for ubuntu 9.10, following instructions given to me by a friend on a site he found. The next step is to extract the file, but when i try to extract it is says: unzip: cannot find or open Joomla_1.5.15-stable-full_package.zip, Joomla_1.5.15-stable-full_package.zip.zi… or Joomla_1.5.15-stable-full_package.zip.
Many thanks.

One other thing, you may need to use sudo in front of the command depending on where you are unzipping it. Example /var/www/
I would check the dir you are in and make sure you have unzip installed
sudo apt-get install unzip
try unzip FILENAMEHERE.zip
(Make sure to change FILENAMEHERE.zip with the joomla zip file.
There is this walkthrough for 9.04, I can’t see it being much different for 9.10http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t…
I am not sure but I think your problem is your site path: On command line try this:
which unzip //This will show you the path to unzip executable if it doesn’t then you need to have the path set for unzip//
cd /{Folder Where you have DOWNLOADED Joomla}
unzip ./Joomla_1.5.15-stable-full_package.zip
The above command will extract the packages into a folder at the current directory.
Also if you don’t have LAMP stack installed then you need to do that as well. LAMP stands for Linux Apache Mysql and PHP but that’s beyond the scope of this discussion :)
Good luck!!!
