Ah, we were thinking along the same lines! ;)
I had just initiated a local install inside .../www/public when I
received your email, which is in fact the DocumentRoot for this website,
and did:
$ chmod -R www-data:www-data context
So ConTeXt is installed in .../www/public/context.
Now I can source:
$ . .../www/public/context/tex/setuptex .../www/public/context/tex
and it all works.
Many thanks, Luigi, for all of your suggestions.
