 | View Full Version : Install SquirrelMail in Shared Hosting environment silhouette 04-28-2004, 02:57 AM Hi All, Can any kind soul shed a light on this(a detailed tutorial would be nice): **I want to have my own webmail interface. I want to set up SquirrelMail. **I am on shared hosting plan, NO root access. Can this be done?? silhouette 04-28-2004, 10:57 AM No one??:) szarts 05-03-2004, 10:27 AM impossible! if u want using SquirrelMail, you must have root access, because u must set up the system and apache. BTW, if u using shared hosting plan, that is no any sense for install mail system. normally, web-mail system install for provides mail service. dan_erat 05-05-2004, 02:52 PM Why would it be impossible? Squirrelmail's just like any other program written in PHP... Unpack it and follow the installation instructions. As long as you can access your mail server via IMAP, you shouldn't need anything else. NE-Adam 05-05-2004, 04:20 PM I am not sure about Squirrelmail but I know Horde can be installed without root access. Also I think Horde is better. ;) silhouette 05-05-2004, 10:24 PM Originally posted by dan_erat Why would it be impossible? Squirrelmail's just like any other program written in PHP...

I look through the installation guide...but seems it uses root access for installation... dan_erat 05-05-2004, 11:12 PM What trouble are you running into? I just glanced through the INSTALL file from 1.4.2 and didn't see anything that would require root. Granted, you'll need to install it within your home directory instead of /var, but that's a given. silhouette 05-05-2004, 11:26 PM Originally posted by dan_erat .....you'll need to install it within your home directory instead of /var, but that's a given. i will try with that...thks |
