Hi. I was wondering if this is something that's compatible with TCH's servers. Could I set up a mysql database and be good to go? I downloaded it to my harddrive and it works great, but I'm not sure how to get it up online...<br /><br />Here's a link to their <a href="http://www.metadot.com/metadot/index.pl" target="_blank">installation guide</a>, which I didn't really understand.<br /><br />THanks for any help you can give.<!--content-->
That link didn't go directly to the installation guide, which is <a href="http://www.metadot.com/metadot/index.pl?iid=2558&isa=Category" target="_blank">here.</a><!--content-->
The minimum requirements for metadot on Linux lists mod_perl as a requirement. TCH servers do not run mod_perl.<br /><br />Also, it appears that metadot requires access to files outside of your account (its configuration file is stored at /etc/metadot.conf), as well as modifications to the server's configuration file (httpd.conf), neither of which I think would be allowed on a TCH shared-hosting server.<!--content-->
Thanks for checking. While we're on the subject, I also just wanted to make sure that that means I couldn't run it off my hard drive and upload it somehow?<!--content-->
I know very little about metadot, but from what I've read, what you're asking is not possible. Sorry! <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
