Definitely a clear and complete tutorial. Congrats for this great job!

It's really crappy to build a tutorial, have people asking questions (Ajax loading error) and not reply to it.

I've got the same problem, I'll know I'll find a solution somewhere but if you're not willing to support your tut/explanation, then the whole value of this tut is worthless.

Support for the tutorial is available in our forum: https://www.howtoforge.com/community/

It seems to be a good tutorial overall.  However, this does not work well.  There is not a clear explaination about the users that MySQL needs and the permissions required for Joomla.  The Joomla management console eventually loads but does not save data and keeps reloading.  Who is www-data?  Does this user need to be added to the server?  Does this user need to be added to MySQL?  The Joomla support community does not seem to be helpful at all.  These issues would not even arise if people would have done as they were supposed to from the beginning.

The MySQL user is created in chapter 2 "Database Initialisation" of this tutorial. The user and password that you add there is later used to setup joomla.

Will this work on Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop instead of 14.04 server?

Why did you include nothing about the apache web container installation? And what the 'www-data' user? This does not exist on my Ubuntu 14.04 install. Please clarify.

Please read chapter 1 of the guide, it tells you to install apache and mysql as shown in this tutorial first: https://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-lamp-server-with-apache2-php5-mysql-on-14.04-lts

I've installed Joomla successfully on Ubuntu 16.10, but when I enter Site Name, Admin Email, etc on http://......../joomla/installation/index.php#, then press 'Next', the values are cleared and I'm informed that Site Name, Admin Email, etc are required fields.

for some reason when i am setting up mysql it says it can't connec to mysql database

I have erred at some point - even though the joomla installation has unziped into /var/www/html/joomla I am receiving a 404 error and I can't solve the issue. It may be that the databases in MySQL have not been properly setup and proper permissions set; however I can't seem to get back to configuring MySQL to add the data bases. I am an old unix user but it has been quite awhile so I am requesting your assistance (i.e. as though I am a complete newbie). I hope you can help. The instructions are really useful and appreciated, I just didn't follow them correctly.  Thank you for your good advice.
