[campsite-support] Root access?!
  • Hello,

    I would like to install Campsite, but on my webhost I do not have root access (it is shared webhosting).

    1) So it means that I need dedicated webhosting or my own computer to install Campsite?

    2) Can you recommend me some good webhosting, which is able to host Campsite?

    3) Is the root access necessary only during the installation, or will I also need it later?

    Thank you,
    Peter

  • Hi,

    It is possible to install Campsite as non-root but it's more complex and you
    will not be able to use all it's features. So I strongly recommend to install
    it on a hosting provider which allows root. In case you're interested Ondra
    could help you with this, he hosts Campsite based sites.

    Regards,

  • Dear all,

    Some (most?) shared webhosting providers won't allow processes running continuously. I was wondering whether there were any plans about porting the parser to PHP. Shared hosting is nowadays the standard entry point for web publishing (blog providers notwithstanding).

    Regards,

  • Hi Armando -

    We are planning to port the parser to PHP in version 3.0, due out
    sometime next summer. There are people on this list who will gladly set
    up a campsite instance for you...let me know if someone doesnt get in
    contact with you soon.

    - Paul
