It is possible to configure Apache for name-based VirtualHosts, such that you don't necessarily need the ports all to yourself. Apparently Bluehost is doing this (or less likely, assigning separate IPs). You can familiarize yourself with these configurations in the Apache documentation:
<br> <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/">http://httpd.apache.org/docs/</a><br><br>The lack of root access is a more serious consideration, since it would require coordination with the host to ensure required components are installed (and installed correctly). Your next question would be "what components?", at which point we would refer to the Koha installation documentation.
<br><br>You may benefit from installing a test version of Koha on your own local debian system, just so that you can see what it is that a host would have to accommodate. <br><br>-joe<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

I have a problem with <a href="http://Bluehost.com">Bluehost.com</a> that neither they allow their customers<br>to have root access to their servers nor provide dedicated ports. As it is<br>required for librarian interface and webopac.
<br><br>Can anybody suggest better way to get koha installed on any of the<br>webhosting services provider's servers? We are desperately need of<br>constructive suggestions, this will decide our future course of action on
<br>installing/using koha for our union catalogue. There are 25 theological and<br>religious libraries in Bangalore would be joining to provide their<br>catalogues for union catalogue project.<br><br>Look forward to hear from you ASAP
