Hi all, I am trying to install setup Koha for free public library in a Shared hosting environment. My hosting environment is on Linux OS and it runs Perl version 5.8.8. I have gone through the installation document and I realize that I first have to create the make file and then install it with super user privileges.
I have contacted my web hosting providers to grant me the access to terminal so that I can run the make file and install Koha. The webhosting providers denied stating that the shell access is not granted in shared hosting environment, I would have to opt for a VPS hosting which is almost 12 to 15 times more than what I pay now (depending on the plan we choose). So, is there a way to install it directly without the shell access and the setup mentioned in the ReadMe documentation? I have tried to directly run the web-installer which is in the location *http://my_web_domain/koha/installer/install.pl* but that throws 500 internal server errors. The corresponding error logs look something like these: *[Sun Mar 24 11:56:38 2013] [error] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] script not found or unable to stat: /home/my_shared_web/public_html/cgi-bin/koha [Sun Mar 24 11:56:38 2013] [error] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] File does not exist: /home/my_shared_web/public_html/favicon.ico [Sun Mar 24 11:56:38 2013] [error] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] script not found or unable to stat: /home/my_shared_web/public_html/cgi-bin/koha * Is there a way we could still install Koha successfully without going through the Shell method etc.? We really like Koha and would like to somehow install it successfully for the free library which we are doing. Help in this regarding highly appreciated.
