how to run script online without access to PHP

Monday 13 November 2006 2:54:25 pm

Sorry, this is not recommended....

There are a number of dependent issues involved with this subject.
- It is s php-cli script which is different than stock php
- While you might be able to patch or hack the script to run,
I would not trust it as many other issues could cause it to
'timeout' and fail to complete it's task or simply catch a 'fatal' error.

I would urge you to seek a host which provides ssh access to the server as the best solution to reduce time exausted in search of a solution and remove this potential <b>major</b> breakdown in using and supporting an eZ publish installation.

I've been developing with eZ for just about 6 years now and I can't stress the above warning enough.

Your welcome :)

This is a very smart detour indeed!

Though doing this to a production site with uptime requirements, search stats, or other data being created within the eZ publish db when the site is live might pose serious problems of availability, loss of db data during this 'window', etc a problem to this detour dead ends it's usefulness. We each have our own marching orders, sometimes not quite the same.

Still in lower requirements arena this is just the way it's still done (sadly).

This is great to hear 'how long' from another user who's been
hooked up on all things eZ.

<b>Agreed</b>

I have no idea ... I honestly did not follow the context unspoken in how this would happen. Sorry. When in doubt, file a detailed bug report in the issue tracker :\

Shell access, root access, dedicated server environment, co-located hardware ... these are the tools of a craftsman.
