Software installation requests are answered in the order received, and response time varies depending on your request and individual hosting account.
I have a VPS and I already install Jira Software and Jira Service Desk but yesterday stop working and I don’t know why. Can some one help?
Sorry to hear about the problem with Jira. We would need more information about the install if it’s on our servers. My recommendation is that you contact our live technical support team to see of the issue is server related. You can find the contact information for our live technical support team at the bottom of the page.
Suhosin link goes to a down page.
Try this link for the SuHosin Configuration page. It also links to documentation and other information. Apologies for the URL change.
do you have any advice for installing the Symfony framwork on our VPS servers? It’s not listed on your installable software, but I was wondering if you had any advice, anyway.
We have a Managed Hosting team that can cover a wide variety of special requests.
i have a VPS hosting, i want to install ffmpeg. is there a safe and quick guide to this. i want to test video conversion to GIF format on my website using php.. any help?
We do not have a dedicated guide, but it is well documented on the ffmpeg website. If you are uncertain about any of the steps feel free to submit a ticket to our Live Support team.
Can I install Apache SOLR on VPS? if yes, is there any guideline available?
Regards,
Hello Ben,
While you are able to install SOLR on your VPS, we currently do not have any guides or support articles to help.
Kindest Regards,

You want to use either my current Amp password, or the last 4 digits of my current credit card to verify my account, but you want me to use an insecure mechanism (email) to send it to you. Do you have a secure way to verify my account so I can request a software installation?
Hello ToBeFrank,
Thank you for contacting us. You can securely submit a verified ticket directly from your AMP (Account Management Panel).
Also, keep in mind you can setup email to connect securely using SSL settings. This is covered in our Email Getting Started guide.
Thank you,
John-Paul
My VPS miraculously just updated to ImageMagick 7.0.3-0 Q16 x86_64 2016-09-12. Awesome!!! Thanks!
Thanks for the response Arn. Maybe you guys should remove RockMongo from the list of software that can be installed through Softaculous (if it lets you configure it that is).
Thanks,
Tim
Hello Timothy,
Apologies for the problem with the install. We are working with our systems to find a way to at least label the programs that cannot be installed on the shared servers. Apologies again for the frustration and confusion in regards to this issue.
Sincerely,
Arnel C.
I have a Power Share hosting plan with Inmotion. I want to install OpenERP/Odoo v8 on my hosting. How can I do this..pls suggest…as I hv not much knowledge on Linux.
Hello BindasLife,
This software list is only available for our VPS and Dedicated plans. They are unable to be installed on any of the Shared Business plans.
Kindest Regards

Please consider installing SVN and Git on shared/reseller packages. Several web hosts who offer SSH access also offer these.
When your shared hosting packages already offer WP-CLI why not install Git and SVN?
Hello Jesin,
Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately, some of the options may require a level of admin access in order to configure that would not be available in a shared server environment. Additionally, due to security concerns and the possibility of abuse, these options are only available in a VPS or Dedicated server account.
Kindest regards,
Arnel C.
Hi Arn,
Thanks for the quick response!
Can this be done? https://wiki.paskvil.com/index.php?title=Setup_a_SVN_Server_on_a_Shared_Hosting
Hey Scott,
Who needs wget when you have the cURL command 😛
Hello jesin,
You can certainly use that as well. While we cannot stop anyone from attempting to install SVN on their account, we just cannot support the process due to policies placed by our Systems team. As long as you can get it to work via SSH without needing additional access and not cause resource overuse and still stay within the terms of service, then it should work.
Kindest Regards,
Scott M
Hello jesin,
Unfortunately those installation instructions will notwork on our servers as they do not allow wget. Our VPS and Dedicated servers do allow it, however. If you definitely need the SVN you may want to check into an upgrade when you are ready.
Kindest Regards,
Scott M
I installed RockMongo through Softaculous on our website voscorp.com/mongodb but when I try to use it I get the error “To make things right, you must install php_mongo module. Here for installation documents on PHP.net.” (link is https://www.php.net/manual/en/mongo.installation.php). Is this something I can install or does an InMotion admin you need to do it on the back end?
Hello Timothy,
Our apologies, but the php_mongo module cannot be loaded on a shared server account. You would need to upgrade your hosting plan to either a VPS or dedicated server in order to use it.
If you have any further questions or comments, please let us know.
Regards,
Arnel C.
