I would like to install PHP on a RaQ3. I downloaded a tutorial for it, which advises me to unpack the source to the root directory.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to the root directory. Is there an other way to do it?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

You will need root rights to install php. If it is a dedicated server you should be able to get root rights. On a cobalt box most of the time the root password is the same as the admin password. So do the following:

Login as admin

type: su
Enter Password: XXXXXXX

And you then have root access.

This may not work depending on what circumstances you are in with your server.
