Hmm. <wondering out loud> Would it make more sense, in the long-term, to develop Koha as an FTPable application? After all, something with the ease of install/update of WordPress would be a game changer. </wonder> --- Steven Santos Director, Simply Circus, Inc.

If you have another similar-enough Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 server handy, you can install Koha there with the right settings and then FTP all parts to the school server, but it will be tedious and probably difficult to debug some problems with it. If you don't have permission to install packages, you'll need to build them from cpan to install in your target user's /home account and change the PERL5LIB lines to include that directory too. Without some way to add VirtualHosts to the webserver configuration, it may be impossible.
I did an FTP install once with 2.0 or 2.2 but even then I could reconfigure the webserver enough to make it work. I don't think it was ever as good as a configurable server, though.
So I'd get another server or rent a good hosted Koha because it would probably make things so much quicker and easier that it is worth it.
