    I am curious if there is a tutorial on how to install on a shared host.

    I have SSH access and have looked over the manual. I just seem stuck at the starting line. I am currently using VIVVO and would love to switch over to Newscoop.

    Thanks for any help I can get

    Hi:

    The "easy" way of installing Newscoop on a shared box is to just upload all the files via FTP, create a Mysql Database and then open yourdomain.com/folder/ in your browser. If you are lucky, you will see the install screen. If you are not lucky, you will see a blank page meaning that something is wrong and needs to get cheked (php version or some other requierement).

    If you encounter errors or blank page during install, you can check the error_log file in the yourdomain.com/folder/install/ dir.

    Since you are on a shared environment, you can't modify your php.ini but
    you can do it via htaccess, depending on the error you get.

    Best luck
