Please repost it at % drupal-support. I was just whining about the lack of an install script that lets me install drupal without a shell. I will go over to drupal-support when I have the time to work thru the problem. At the moment, the install has been tabled until I get a block of time. The real point of the message was to outline the specific problem with having to recompile php, which is part of this same problem of assuming that people have root shell access on the machines. ----- John Sechrest .
