Lets pick an example of a web installer: SugarCRM, there the installer/upgrader is a real mess, OK its easy, but it requires the admin to have all files/directories writable by the UID running Apache, ask yourself, how sane is that? That's the same problem nearly any web based installers have. Or do you run your apache as root? Hope not ;) And for example, I run SOGo on OpenBSD, where Apache is chrooted by default, so it would be impossible to use a web based installer to get SOGo installed in "normal" system locations. cheers, Sebastian > > Thank you for all of your replies.
