Hi guys, been reading through the forum and the wiki documentation concerning the installation.

I uploaded all files of OpenKM 4.1-RC1 at my webhoster. I've created a subdomain to run this dms. I am not allowed to use the Shell command.

I have seen in the wiki that there are some configurations to be done for mail etc.

Now, my question, when I open the subdomain URL where all files have been uploaded to, will there be an installer like with other php scripts such as this forum that will guide you through the installation where you then input database name and password ?

Bad news, you need shell access or grants to execute starting up OpenKM. OpenKM comes with an application server ( jboss ) it's not only unzip like a php under exposed web folder, OpenKM is a service like apache ( hope with this comparation you could understand better ).

Here you've got several solution:
1- Virualized or dedicated hosting are normally good solutions ( here you've got some more deep computer control )
2- Some hosting that supporting jboss application server
3- We recomend always if it's possible to run in a computer in your intranet, and expose across router to service outside ( extranet ), normally it's a good scenario. In order to testing purposes we recomend it too.

Remember in your server must have installed java jdk 1.6 or upper as it's explained in quick installation guide http://wiki.openkm.com ( look here for documentation )
