How to integrate magento sample data with magento? - magento-1.7

I have installed magento on ubuntu using magento-1.7.0.2.zip. I have also downloaded magento sample data magento-sample-data-1.6.1.0.tar.gz . But I can't integrate this sample data with my magento installation.
Please somebody help me.
Thanks

Here is a guide on how to install it
Main thing that you should know that you need to extract magento sample data (.sql file and media folder) then put media folder into your magento installation and import .sql file into your empty database before you will run Magento installation wizard, otherwise you won't be able to successfully install sample data

This is simplest ways i checked out all of above answer are complicated
1.install the sample database (mysql) file from sample data.
2.copy catlog folder from media in sample data and paste into your magento project.
3.if on windows no problem of folder permission other have to check for there specific way .

Magento New Installation - Backend is working however frontend points to the old URL

Tried the recommendation on several threads. Here is the issue. The admin is working and updated the new DB fine. When you view the site from the frontend the product data, images, and links all point to the original site.
I Began by creating a new DB and importing a back up of the other Magento DB. The DB has a different name, the login and pw are different as well.
I modified the secure and unsecure URLs in the core_config_data table. I then installed a fresh copy of Magento (same version as my old site ver. 1.7.0.2).
I emptied the log tables which contained the old URL as well.
I looked at the local.xml file which had the correct settings.
Please keep in mind I have not added any source files from the old site. The olny thing that is from the old site is the DB.
Any other advice would be huge! Thanks in advance.
I never could get to the bottom of it. I simply uploaded fresh install of Magento and imported the data and it worked.

Below is the error message, which is i got from netbeans.
magento\app\design\adminhtml\default\default\template\catalog\product\attribute\js.phtml
This is my first try of Magento test automation tools. i don't know what was went to wrong.
Any help my appreciation.
Perhaps you can try changing a bit the directory structure
From
magento\app\design\adminhtml\default\default\template\catalog\product\attribute\js.phtml
To
magento\app\design\adminhtml\default\template\catalog\product\attribute\js.phtml
In my experience, Magento directory structure changes across its versions.

How to install Facebook Ignited in a codeigniter app?

Trying to install https://github.com/Necromnius/Facebook-Ignited/ into codeigniter.
I'm new to the framework, how should I go about installing this, copying the files into
my project seems a bit heavy handed, is there another way?
Unless your installing a Spark (http://getsparks.org/), you'll need to manually copy the files into your project. The instructions for installation don't list the created/modified files so you'll have to browse through the repository to see which files need to be copied to your project.
Facebook Ignited has minimum package downloads which include only the files that you need to upgrade Facebook Ignited. You can find them in the Downloads Page with the latest version v1.1.2. I haven't created a Spark for it but that may be something worth looking into later on if interest is high enough. Hope that helps!

Run a symfony project on hostgator

I have been trying to run a symfony project I created recently using symfony 1.4.
But pointing to the url (xyz.in) simply shows up the directory structure of the application
In the CPanel I have edited the document root to be upto app/web/ directory
After doing this all I can see is a blank page and nothing else.
What might be wrong? What are the necessary steps for deploying a symfony project to a shared hosting?
You can check the rights on cache and log directories, Apache needs write rights. Ther are many problems with symfony and shared hosting, but it's not an impossible task.
