| what we support |
|---|
|
server-side includes (*.shtml)
can insert the contents of one file into a page when loaded, allowing many pages to insert a common copyright notice, etc. A shtml file can also execute a cgi and insert the output. Many more functions exist, see the official documentation here for detailed instructions.
|
|
apache's mod_rewrite
very powerful regular-expression based url rewriting and redirection, used in .htaccess. Official documentation is here.
|
|
password protected directories
restrict access of subdirectories with a username and password, used in .htaccess
|
|
cron jobs
run a command or script at a certain time on certain days, highly configurable
|
|
perl interpreter
latest version, used to run popular cgi scripts
|
|
ftp resume
our ftp server supports resuming aborted uploads and downloads, if your client can do it
|
| what we don't support |
|
apache's mod_perl
Anything run by mod_perl runs under the web server's username, and environment variables and functions remain active in the web server even after your scripts have exited. This can open the possibility of trojans or privacy leaks, and is unacceptable for a multi-user environment. You must use the external perl interpreter as usual.
|
|
apache's mod_php
Again, everything is run as the web server's username, which is not secure. You should use the external shell instead, and run your php as CGI. (We do support PHP using the external shell interpreter)
|
|
Frontpage sub-webs
Sub-webs are rarely useful, and are difficult to configure. They also can mess up your web site if not used properly. Instead of creating a sub-web, just create a normal subdirectory.
|
|
Windows NT
Including ASP, Access databases, ODBC, Microsoft SQL
We do not support Windows NT on the server side in any way. |
