Installing Joomla 2.5
Step 1: Download Joomla 2.5
In this tutorial we will show you how to:
1. Upload the files to the server. Unzip them.
2. Create a database for the installation. And start the installation.
FTP
use and FTP program or the host's server control panel to upload the distribution to the server.
In the illustration above you see ftp is being used to upload the complete package to the public html folder on the server.
Step 2:
On some servers this is actually called public_html or www and typical full server path to this directory looks similar to this /home/testusername/public_html or on any Godaddy or shared server with shared directories it may be a bit longer. Like this /home/content/a/b/c/testusername/html.
Alternately you can extract all the files to your computer and then upload all the unextracted files to your root folder on the server.
Step 3. Extract files on server
If you used the first method in Step numb 2, uploading a compressed file to your server, then you need to uncompress it on the server.
Tip: Most CPanel servers allow access by going to yourdomain.com/cpanel. For Godaddy servers you have to log in to your account, go to hosting accounts, click Launch, and then find the file manager.
Step 4: Create a database
On cPanel there are two ways, manually with the MySQL Databases icon or a little bit of a shortcut using the Database Wizard.
On GoDaddy go to Databases on the Hosting Dashboard and click the MySQL icon to create any database
Step 5: Config files should contain right information in configuration.php file
You will need this info to fill in the data base connection when you go through the install screens. As you create the databases, be sure to record.
1. DB name
2. DB user
3. DB User password
4. DB HOST
On a cPanel server it will look something like this:
Host Name: localhost
Database Name: username_one
User Name: username_one

On a Godaddy server it will look something like:
Host Name: abc1010003333..6006667.hostedresource.com
