[Mapbender-users] How can install Mapbender to a standard cPanel account - withouth root access

[Székely Dénes]

Thanks, Connor, but this is not helping me. The server in case is a 
shared hosting environment, and the sysadmin does not grant me extra 
privileges and turned me down to offer support above what they usually 
give to their customers.

What I have access to is this:

I can access the WEBROOT directory where the clients domain is pointed, 
I can put there anything I want, I can create and configure the 
database, add a database user and tweak his privileges, I can tweak the 
PHP environment (PHP version, config items) and basically here's the end 
of story.

Basically can't touch the webserver otherwhise than what is allowed to 
me to do by .htaccess commands

cPanel is basically a shell to assist the clients to manage their 
allocated webserver space, withouth access to command line and obviously 
withouth root level privileges. It is the de facto standard in shared 
web hosting.

So, basically I am wondering, if it is even possible to install 
mapbender by using these.

Right now from web you can see this:

The mapbender package is there, here should go the final, working 
MapBendet installation.
