Take a look at full documentation here <a href="http://docs.joomla.org/Copying_a_Joomla_website" rel="ugc">http://docs.joomla.org/Copying_a_Joomla_website</a><br />
<br />
That takes you through the manual steps if you prefer to do it that way. &nbsp;Doing it via the backup/restore route does it ALL for you, which is why I suggested it. &nbsp;I actually made a mistake in my first response as you do not need to have a fresh install of Joomla (it was over a year ago and forgot). &nbsp;Once you have the backup you use php kickstart and the backup, just start that running and it will do the rest for you. &nbsp;It's very reliable &amp;&nbsp;fast<br />

Joomla is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) for publishing web content. It is built on a model–view–controller web application framework that can be used independently of the CMS. Written in PHP, Joomla uses object-oriented programming (OOP) techniques and software design patterns, stores data in a MySQL, MS SQL  or PostgreSQL database, and includes features such as page caching, RSS feeds, printable versions of pages, news flashes, blogs, search, and support for language internationalization.

Joomla

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.
