CGI, Perl, Sendmail

Can I create a CGI script that stays resident in memory or forks processes?

We do not allow any type of program that stays resident in memory or listens to a port number or forks multiple processes, because of the shared nature of the server.


Can I use flat file database driven forums?

We do not allow the use of flat file database driven forums such as UBB or YABB bulletin boards. Use of these boards for large or very active forums, results in system performance degradation, and cannot be allowed in our shared server environment. We suggest using VBulletin or phpBB (found within control panel) as a more efficient, database-driven alternative to these bulletin boards. Busy sites with large forums and data bases are not suited to a shared server environment.


Can you help me troubleshoot my script?

Our support team would be more than happy to help you with any problem you encounter. However, we will only provide free support for our system and services. We will help you with basic problems associated with getting scripts running, but if you need help with third-party software, contact the authors of that software.


Do you allow CGI to run on your servers?

We do allow running of cgi scripts on the servers, however they must conform to our acceptable usage policy. If we deem that a script is using an excessive amount of server resources, it will be disabled.


Do you have mod_rewrite?

Yes mod_rewrite is enabled on the servers.


Do your servers have cURL enabled?

Yes, all of our Linux Cpanel servers have cURL enabled.cURL is located here: /usr/bin/curl


Do your servers support Python?

Yes. It can be found at the following location: /usr/bin/python 


Does your company have any limit about CGI scripts?

We don't have a limit on how many you can install. There are some scripts that we do not allow. In general, you are free to install scripts as long as they do not use too many server resources, cause the server to become unstable, create a security breach, harm the server or other users, etc.


How can I troubleshoot an \"Internal Server Error\"?

Method 1. Log into your control panel, there should be a link called "View Error Log". This will show you the last few entries of any errors which occured with your script.Method 2. Log in to your account with SSH and test your script. To do this, go into the directory in which your script is located, then execute the script.simply type "/usr/bin/perl myscript.pl"


How do I set file permissions with WS_FTP?

Just highlight the file you want to set, and right-click on it. A menu will pop up, then select CHMOD.


How do I setup Hit Counters, Guestbooks, etc?

We have a collection of CGI scripts that are already pre-installed on your hosting account. Some of these CGI scripts include: A hit counter, web clock, Guestbook, FormMail, Search Site and more! You can find these scripts within your control panel.


I am unable to delete CGI related files...

If you have any files or folders that were created by a cgi script running on your account, you will be unable to modify or delete these files because they were created by the user 'nobody' (the webservers itself). To get these files deleted please send in a support ticket.


I keep getting a 500 Internal Server Error. Why?

There are many different possibilities. If you have a problem, misconfiguration, or syntax error in you script, you will probably be able to find it by checking your error logs which can be found in your your control panel under "Statistics -> Show Error Logs". Although this is generally caused by a problem within the script, many times it is caused by incorrect file permissions either on the script itself, or another file or directory used by the script. You should also verify the that the...


The paths to commonly used programs for CGI scripts, mySQL and others are...

Commonly used paths -Perl: /usr/bin/perl Perl 5: /usr/bin/perl5.00503 Sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail Date: /bin/date PHP: /usr/bin/php mySQL: /usr/bin/mysql ImageMagick: /usr/bin/convert OR /usr/local/bin/convertDocument Root: /home/username/ WWW Directory: /home/username/public_html/ CGI Directory: /home/username/public_html/cgi-bin/


What are the basics of installing CGI & Perl scripts?

1) Be sure the file permissions are set correctly on the cgi that you are trying to run start with 755. 2) Always upload and download a cgi in ASCII transfer mode.


What directory do I upload my CGI scripts to?

CGI scripts are executable from anywhere within your "public_html" directory. They do not need to be placed in a CGI-BIN. However for safety reasons we recommend you place them in the public_html/cgi-bin/ subdirectory of your account. Most scripts are then generally CHMODDED to 755.If you use Microsoft FrontPage, it is recommended that you put them within your /cgi-bin/ directory so FrontPage will not change your permission settings on these files.


What file permissions should I use?

All scripts as well as the directories that contain them, should be set CHMOD 755.


What is CGI?

CGI, Common Gateway Interface, includes programs that run on the server to enhance the quality and functionality of a web site.CGI extended definition: A set of rules that describe how a Web Server communicates with another piece of software on the same machine, and how the other piece of software (the 'CGI program') talks to the web server. Any piece of software can be a CGI program if it handles input and output according to the CGI standard. Usually a CGI program is a small program that...


What is Perl?

Practical Extraction and Reporting Language, a robust programming language frequently used for creating CGI programs on Web servers because it is faster than UNIX shell script programs, it can read and write binary files, and it can process very large files.


What is the exact physical path to your root directory on the webserver?

The path to your root directory is: /home/username/ Obviously, substitute "username" with the login you were assigned when you first received your account details. Also, keep in mind that when you configure your CGI, that your /public_html is included in your path. For instance, if you have a guestbook.pl script in your /cgi-bin, the exact physical path to that file is: /home/username/public_html/cgi-bin/guestbook.pl 


What is the path to Perl?

The path to perl is: /usr/bin/perl


What is the path to Sendmail?

The path to Sendmail on all of our servers is: /usr/sbin/sendmail  


What version of Perl are you running?

As of this writing all of our servers are currently running Perl version 5.8.1. (Note: We always run the latest stable build of Perl).


Why am I getting a 403 Forbidden Error?

A 403 Forbidden error occurs when the web server finds itself with insufficient permissions to run your script. Make sure you have given the script proper permissions. In SSH, this is accomplished with: chmod 755 scriptname.cgi If you are uploading via FTP, your FTP client probably has some facility for setting file permissions. You want to make sure that all choices (user, group, and other) have execute permission.


Why Does My CGI script give me a Permission Denied Error?

CGI scripts need to be set executable. You need to change the mode, or permissions, of your programs with your FTP program, and make them 755, or rwxr-xr-x. Note: A lot of scripts out there will tell you need to make them 775 or even 777. This is not good! It means anyone on the server can write to your script, and since its executable and executes as you, it could delete all your files!


Why doesn't my CGI work?

Make sure when you upload the CGI file DO NOT upload in binary mode, instead use ASCII mode. Uploading in binary will cause the server not to recognize the scripts as executables. Most FTP clients will upload .pl or .cgi files in binary mode by default so you will need to change this. You will need to upload the scripts into your cgi-bin directory for security reasons, however they will execute from anywhere within your account. The last step is to set the file permissions. This is otherwise...

You can also contact support to find out the correct nameserver info.)


How do I transfer my site to you? (quick steps)

What is domain pointing?

Domain pointing takes domain parking another step further by allowing multiple domains which resolve to different index pages or directories on the same hosting account. Domain pointing would come into play if one wanted to maintain TWO distinctly different web sites while paying and maintaining only one hosting account (aka a "twofer" deal). Example:www.apples.com -> http://apples.com/index.htmlwww.oranges.com -> http://apples.com/oranges/index.htmlWith domain pointing the addition...


What is domain propagation?

Propagation is the period of time, or delay, involved in sending your domain's address information to all the various name servers in the world. Name servers intentionally keep track of addresses for domains in their memory for a specific period of time (defined by the administrator of the name server).

Can my software application maintain state when switching from normal HTTP (non-secure) protocol to HTTPS (secure) protocol?

When you change from non-secure (HTTP) to secure protocol (HTTPS), any cookies or client variables you are using with one protocol will not be recognized from one state to the next. This is true since the web server views activity under each different protocol as completely different user sessions, so it does not maintain variable state between the two different protocols. This is true whether or not you use a shared or dedicated SSL certificate. Because of this, it is best to use HTTP protocol...

What is a digital key? What is a certificate?

SSL uses a public key - private key system for its encrypting. The public key is used to encrypt the information. However, only the private key can be used to decrypt this information. This allows the public key to be known to all so that encrypted information may be sent to the server. The server can then use the private key, which is kept secret, to decrypt the information. In this scenario, the certificate is the public key. A certificate signing authority such as Thawte or Verisign issues...

Why do I get the message 'some items are insecure'?

For a server to serve a page securely all items, including graphics, must be accessed using the https:// protocol. If you are receiving a message stating some items are insecure then you have at least one item that will be served unsecurely.


Why do my pages load more slowly when I use SSL?

SSL pages are slower because of the overhead needed to encrypt and decrypt the data. The web server must spend extra time encrypting the data before it is transmitted to your computer. Likewise, your computer must then decrypt the information. The same applies when you securely submit information from your computer to the Web server. All this requires your CPU and the Web server's CPU to work harder and therefore might cause pages to load more slowly.

How do I get around not having \"bandwidth negotiation\"?

While encoding, if you set the target audience to 28 K modem, you will be able to reach the largest audience possible. If you want your higher bandwidth connection visitors to receive better quality recordings, you can always create a second link to a RealMedia file that is encoded with a target audience of a higher bandwidth connection.

I am trying to use a SSI call to invoke a cgi script, but it is not working..

When using a SSI call to invoke a cgi script, the first thing to check is the path that you are using to call the cgi-script. By default, the server assumes that the the directory root is the web root, and does NOT require the absolute path. For example, if you were calling a test.cgi file in the cgi-bin directory, the path would be /cgi-bin/test.cgi, NOT /home/virtual/domain.com/var/www/cgi-bin/test.cgi.


I can't connect via Telnet! Why?

Telnet sessions are not encrypted, therefore hackers are able to "sniff" your username and password as you log in. Because of this, we have instituted SSH in it's place. SSH is very much like Telnet, however it is encrypted. It does require a client program, and we recommend Putty. It is available for free at: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ You will need to change the default SSH version to 2 also as our servers will not accept version 1 due to some security holes.

I uploaded my files, but I don't see my page? Why?

If our default "Welcome to your new Web Site", index.html, has not been replaced by another index page, then anyone going to yourdomain.com will still see that page instead of some other home page. Just delete the index.html file and upload your own. Note: "home.html" will NOT show up as your home page. You would need to rename it as aforementioned. In addition, you need to place it within the mainwebsite_html folder.

Depending on how regularly you check email, 10-15 days is usually sufficient.
