Has anyone installed without shell access ?

I never done it myself but it's entirely possible. Chmod can be done on every reasonably sane FTP client. The only thing that might get you into trouble is cronjobs.

It seems that most of the information about installation is centered around, an installation on a local drive. This creates a void for installation on servers where access may be restricted.

Personally I evaluate programs on a regular basis and have found that the PHP.ini file
For many web servers may be radically different what may work on one server may not work on another. I am very interested in testing this program out to see if it is a viable, (real world); application, I was intrigued by the possibilities of this application, however relying on a local installation to evaluate any given software is not really a reliable way to test the ability of this software to serve a purpose or to be useful.

I tried it out on my local machine and it performed very well after some adjustments.

Now to suitably impress me, I would need to see it in operation on a server, since approximately 40 percent of small websites are running on virtual hosts; it would be a good idea to cover this information if at all possible, also it is a good ideal to remember that for every one yahoo or Google there are hundreds of thousands of other much smaller websites! I feel this would be a good area to explore and frankly I am surprised that there is a sizable lack of information on this topic.

Setting up the database using PHPmyadmin would be a good area to cover.

I am going to attempt to set up on a virtual host and see what happens, I would be happy to share any information with you or anyone else should there be an interest and if you have successfully set up a working version of this software on a virtual host please do share any tips you might find helpful.

uploaded ALL the files from the ZIP version (NOT installer version)
went to www.mydomain.com/index.php
did the installer test thing.... had to chmod a few of the permissions with my FTP program. That's where you changes folders or files to allow writing and reading etc. (read about it on web if need to)

then I went :

www.mydomain.com/index.php/admin

typed in adimin and publish for pogin and password... VOILA.... my eyes almost popped out!

My hosting co. doesn't even have imagemagic on there and it works great!

um, Things are looking VERY tgood for ezpublish...
The community here is really perking UP!

ALSO, if you've got the cash just buy the desktop version...
You'll be GLAD you did!!!!!!
