MG Server Install - without root access

[jeffjensen]

Hello MG Users,

 

Do you know if it is possible to install the Linux flavor of MapGuide Open Source without root access?

 

My internet service provider (vegaswifi.net) is similar to other ISPs which give you a linux virtual server. Problem is the account password doesn't give you root (system administrator) access. So, if MapGuide Server install requires root access, is there a list of which files/folders get updated/created? Most system administrators are leery of software installs, especially those packages requiring root access. I would think such a list would help but them at ease.

 

Thanks for the assistance,

Jeff Jensen

You can install as superuser using the sudo prefix if your admins can set you up as such.  You don’t have to be the root user to install.
