           Summary: installer.pl wants root
           Product: Koha
           Version: 1.9.2
          Platform: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Installation
        AssignedTo: address@hidden
        ReportedBy: address@hidden
         QAContact: address@hidden


If run as a normal user, the following error occurs:-

$ perl installer.pl
Install::mkdir_parents() called too early to check prototype at Install.pm line
397.
You must be root to run this script.

It does not give any reasons why it wants to run as root.  I'm not sure why it
wants root from a quick look at the code of installer.pl.  It is probably a bad
security idea to run the whole process as root instead of su or sudo'ing for
selected parts.

Is a userland installation of koha is possible?  Are there any instructions on 
that?
