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

[Thorsten Hildebrand (WhereGroup)]

Hi Dénes,

your Mapbender installation is already working:
http://satelitnt.ro/mapbender/web/app.php
http://satelitnt.ro/mapbender/web/app.php/application/mapbender_user

However, you must ensure that the configuration files and code are not 
publicly accessible.

Best regards,
Thorsten
