All,

I am working with a nonprofit and we have decided to go with EZ based on its great functionality and ease of use. However, we have been having some problems hosting EZ at a low cost provider. My question for you all is :

1) Can EZ be installed on ANY Php hosting site? (with Apache/mysql)
2) Does EZ installation require root access?
3) EZ requires 12MB php memory right? How have others handled this with the "cheaper" shared hosting sites where re-starting apache is difficult to do?
4) Does EZ instalation create directories? therefore, do i need to ask for write permissions to special places?
5) anything else?

Thanks
Manu

1) Yes AND no. If php is running as CGI you are looking for trouble. Ask your ISP. ImageMagick is a good thing to have, too.
2) No. Unless the box that runs eZ is standing right by your side, you would never get root access anyway.
3) At least 12MB, yes. A solution that seemes to work, is creating "your own" php.ini and drop it in your eZ root folder. Worked for me.
4) Yes, but you only have to change permissions for the var-directory.
5) Probably, yeah. Setting up eZ (and understanding) is a lot of work! Don't give up.

Make sure your hosting service has compiled php with the GD libraries (the alternative to using ImageMagick). Most likely they won't have ImageMagick installed and probably won't let you install it. Check with them before you commit to EZpublish. As far as I know, if you don't have either one then you won't be able to use images in your site content at all! (I like EZpub a lot, but if you ask me, I think the disadvanatages of this requirement outweigh the advantages.)

There are hosting providers that have optimized settings for ezpublish. You might wanna look for those.
