Ik that's weird, but i can't do anything about it.

My friend only has a cpanel.

And the code i wrote was in NodeJS, not PHP.

So a cpanel sucks for that.

Basically, my thing uses mongodb and it wont work if i dont install mongodb.

Apparently, you can access the shell like if it was a VPS, but i can't because i login to the cpanel with namecheap, not cpanel itself, so i don't know the password.

If he had a VPS, it would be much easier, but he does not and i don't have a lot of time to do it.

So, what should i do?

Someone once asked for cPanel to support MongoDB. Quoting cPanel staff response: "Due to the changes in MongoDB's licensing we are no longer able to consider this as a potential feature to be added to our product."

 

You can't install MongDB using cPanel itself. You'll need access to the server. Installation steps depend on the server's OS.

My friend just bought the cpanel hosting, he did not really do anything else.

I tried to reset the cpanel password to one i know and then i tried to connect to the remote shell again but there is still access denied.

He bought the cpanel at namecheap.

As Jon said, it is not possible to install MongoDB to CPanel because of the MongoDB Lisencing. If MongoDB's lisencing does change there is a chance that this feature will be released, but I doubt it will happen unless a major lisencing change is made.
