Put something like the contents of the virtualhost into an .htaccess
file.  It works since 2.0 but I don't have a current example handy.

There are two ways to install without make install (which is allowed
on some commercial hosts like Bytemark and ContextShift - please
contact me if you'd like to order from them and benefit my
co-operative):-

1. mount your web space with curlftpfs or similar and run make install
on your local workstation;

2. make install on your local workstation, then edit the configuration
files and copy the tree across to your web space.

If the hosting provider is too restrictive, zebra, the cron jobs and
z39.50 access (ports 210 and 9990 UDP) may cause problems too.

BTW: I think this thread should be on the main koha list, not -devel.

Hope that helps,
