Hi,
I've been trying to install Groupware Webmail Edition on my webhost 
account, but I've run into a problem.

To configure the database backend I need to run the setup.php script. 
However, the webhosting account I have doesn't have any sort of shell 
access so I'm not able to run the script.  The closest thing I can think 
of is running command line instructions through PHP via a PHP shell. 
However since this method won't work with scripts which require input 
while running, which, unfortunately, setup.php is I'm rather stuck at 
this point.

Can anyone suggest a method where I can setup Groupware Webmail Edition 
without shell access?  Maybe manually editing configuration files is an 
option, but it seems the settings are spread out among a number of files 
and I can't seem to locate the majority of them.  However even if I find 
those files, executing the database creation scripts without shell 
access would be a problem.

As a side note, I would great if a web based PHP setup script was made 
available in future release for those of us without shell access.

Thanks in advance

Ken
