[Koha] Newbie question - Installating KOHA on a share hosting

[Octavian, Yuan (CIFOR)]

Dear all,
I finally manage to install KOHA on my local PC using win.XP as the
operating system. Right now I'm trying to install KOHA on a share hosting.
Since I don't have the super user access I'm trying to install KOHA using
the manual on how to install KOHA without root. There are several questions
that I like to ask:

1. The share hosting did not have several perl modules which are needed by
KOHA, is there a way to solve this problem?

2. The manual ask me to arrange for a user called opac and set the user in
the OPAC virtual host. Could anyone explain what kind of user? Is it a mysql
user or a user on the share hosting (linux user)? I can only access the
hosting using Cpanel + FTP, I have no SSH access, so I don't think I have
the access to create a user. Is there a way to solve this problem?

3. The manual ask me to Copy koha distro koha\* into /pathto/cgi-bin/oadmin
(including C4 directory and its contents). I get confious because the manual
never ask me to make /pathto/cgi-bin/oadmin, the manual ask me only to make
/pathto/cgi-bin/koha and /pathto/cgi-bin/koha/C4. And what does it mean by
distro koha\*, does it mean the whole directory and file extracted from the
koha-1.2.3.tar?



cheers,
