Title: How to install roundcube on a host (ipage) without a shell
Post by: Jazzl on January 25, 2015, 01:01:25 PM
Dear All,

When getting my database corrupted now and then, I used to be able to reinstall roundcube via mojo Marketplace onto my domain at ipage, but now it suddenly won´t allow me anymore.
So I started looking for other ways, and thought I´d do it by myself from scratch.
Hence I downloaded the latest 1.0.5, and uploaded to my host where I extracted the files and folders into one folder.
But apparently it´s not as configured as when I did it using mojo, since I get:

DATABASE ERROR: CONNECTION FAILED!

Unable to connect to the database!
Please contact your server-administrator.


Any ideas what I need to do in order for it to be running? Ipage doesn´t support Shell, so there´s no way for me to fire commands on it - just change permissions, rename files, download, upload etc.

Thanks in advance

Best Regards

Jazzl

Thanks, so how will I be executing commands such as "CREATE DATABASE roundcubemail;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON roundcubemail.* TO username@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';" when I do not have any Shell access?

Best Regards

You should have a control panel where you can create MySQL databases and users, you can do that instead of running the commands.
