Mephisto Install Script
Several of my projects recently have involved Mephisto from Rick Olsen and Justin Palmer, and from time to time I receive requests for help installing Mephisto. I’ve create a quick and dirty bash script to install a trunk version of Mephisto on a shared hosting account using FastCGI. Obviously, this script was made using using a Site5 account, however it should work without modification on any hosting platform based upon Cpanel or DSM. It does assume that the tzinfo gem is already available on your hosting system.
Currently, it only installs mephisto at the top level of an account, but this is a very early version. If there is interest in the community I’d like to develop this into a more robust system with additional options (installing mephisto into a sub directory, etc). Love it? Hate it? Think it’s pointless? I’d love to get some feedback.
You can download it here.

Thank you, will test on dreamhost.com :-)

Let me know

Worked perfectly! I would take out the requirement to give a test database if possible. I basically created a dummy test database just so the script would work, then deleted it.

I’m trying to install this on Dreamhost but was wondering where do you put the file & what CHMOD permissions do you give it as I can’t run it on the web server.
