Install GLPI on a web hosting server (like free.fr)
First of all, I would like to inform you that GLPI installation on a web hosting server is not recommended. GLPI is a internal managing tool and may not be available by everyone.
Automated installation does not work. You will need to perform it by hands.
The different steps are described below.
- upload the files into your account on the remote server
- import the database (file mysql/glpi-0.XX-default.sql)
- modify, if necessary, the root_doc field of the glpi_config table. You can access GLPI through http://www.server.com/path_to_glpi,root_doc=/path_for_glpi
- create the config_db.php by hands and upload it into the glpi/config directory. It should look like below (!!!take care that there is no empty line!!!)
<?php class DB extends DBmysql { var $dbhost = "sql.free.fr"; var $dbuser = "my_account"; var $dbpassword= "my_password"; var $dbdefault = "my_account"; } ?>
And it works ;)
Dumps of the databse could not works because of permisions on folder backup/dump.
If you encounter problems with the sessions, you certainly may have to create a sessions folder in the root folder of your account (on the remote server) and give write permission to this folder.
