Aloha,
I have a virtual unix host but no shell or cron access (the admins will set up cron jobs but I can't do so myself).
If you have shell_exec access via php, you can run gunzip and then tar through the browser. Here's a sample that does something similar: http://tatewake.com/wiki/playground:install-test.php DW has changed much since I wrote the script above, you should only need the gunzip and untarring portions of it now. When you craft your own php file and upload it to do this, I seem to remember having to give the php file and the directory it was in full permissions (777) so that it could create the files and directories. -- --Terence J.
