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

Thu Mar 14 05:15:10 PDT 2024

Hello Dénes,

I guess you wil need the cPanel Terminal at some point.

Or you need a service provider who confighures some of the settings for 
you.

https://docs.cpanel.net/cpanel/advanced/terminal-in-cpanel/

The tar.gz donwload package already contains symbolic links to the 
web-directory. But you have to create the Alias for Apache and set the 
ownership for the files.

If that is not a problem you could prepare the postgreSQL  database 
localy and restore it on the server.
