[support] Error trying to install module in new site.

[Ursula Pieper]

I have my sites on a cloud server, and it's even free for the first year (
http://nephoscale.com). I use a shared hosting account (for which I
foolishly prepaid for a couple of years, before I started using drupal) for
automated off-site backups. Nice, fast, reliable (I have had this setup
since February).

I don't think they have cpanel, and I administer my cloud server (centos)
myself (they gave me an intitial centos 5.5 image, and I have configured
everything myself, run updates every couple of days, also had to upgrade to
Centos 5.6 myself). Since I am an sysadmin, this is no biggy for me, but
might deter others.

I tried the dreamhost vsp for a while, which was also nice and fast, but I
couldn't deal with their meddling with the systems administration.
