Manual installation of Typo3

To install TYPO3 manually, please, download the latest version from http://sourceforge.net/projects/typo3/ and upload the archive on your server. Using the File Manager from your cPanel extract the contents to a directory or to the root folder if you want TYPO3 to be accessible at yourdomain.com.

Make sure that you've created database, user and that you've granted privileges to that user from the "MySQL Databases" function in your cPanel. (Please, take a look at SiteGround Joomla tutorial for more detailed instructions about how to create MySQL database and MySQL user and how to grant the proper permissions)

If you have installed TYPO in /test directory open http://www.mydomain.com/test/typo3 to continue with the TYPO3 Install Tool.

Type in the username and password for the MySQL database you've just created. Leave "localhost" as Host and click Update localconf.php. On the 2nd step select the name of the database that you have created and click Update localconf.php. On the 3rd step click Import database and you're done!
