CMS Made Simple Forums

How do i go about installing CMSMS when the host do not allow me to set write permissons to files and folders like config.php and the tmp and upload folders?

According to the host the only folder they allow write permissions is their cgi-bin directory outside root!

So somehow i need to move config.php, tmp folder, upload folder etc. to the cgi-bin folder and set CMSMS to use that directory instead - How do i do that?

What if you put entire CMSMS in a different folder where you can work and than do a url-forward from the root to the new folder. This might not be the best solution, as I'm no technician.

I've installed the entire CMSMS in the cgi-bin folder with succes, but sadly all request for the site have to be redirected to the cgi-bin folder. So now my url is www.domain.dk/cgi-bin/ 

Not an ideal solution but it works - the question now is only what drawback besides the url i will find if any. I'm most concerned about security now when the installation resides outside the root folder in the cgi-bin!

If you use pretty-url you can trim the cgi-bin part and even more of your URL. Check the forum how to use "Pretty URL". There is also a topic on this in "Tips and Tricks".
