This document explains how to add support for dynamic web
pages, including:
CGI Scripts
To add CGI support, it will suffice to create a CGI alias
or, in other words, to specify a CGI file extension and a
CGI handler for it, for instance Perl. For example, you can
specify that all *.cgi files must be treated as executable
Perl scripts.
To add a CGI alias, do the following:
- Select Domain info in the Domain Settings
menu.
- Click the Edit icon in the Web Service
field.
- On the Web Service page that shows, scroll down
to find the
CGI-dir option and turn it on. Now all files in the
cgi-bin directory will be treated as CGI executables. This
is the directory to place all your cgi scripts.
- On the Web Service page, scroll down to find the
CGI option and click the Add icon on its
right.
- Enter an extension beginning with a dot and select the
handler from the list:
PHP scripts
You can add support to your own PHP scripts. As of May 1st
2002, the highest supported version is PHP 4.2.1.
To add PHP support, do the following:
- Select Domain info in the Domain Settings menu.
- Click the Edit icon in the Web Service field.
- On the Web Service page, scroll down to find the
PHP option and turn it on.
- Agree with the charges.
- Skip this step if you are using a Windows-based plan.
At the top of the Web Service page, click the
Apply link for the Server configuration to change.
The changes will take effect within 15 minutes.
- On the Web Service page, click the Add icon that has
appeared next to the PHP option.
- On the page that appears, enter an extension for your PHP pages beginning
with a dot, for instance .php4. Select the MIME type from the list.
- Skip this step if you are using a Windows-based plan.
At the top of the Web Service page, click the
Apply link for the Server configuration to change.
The changes will take effect within 15 minutes.
ASP
To add support for ASP (Active Server Pages) in a
Windows-based account, do the following:
- Select Domain info in the Domain Settings
menu.
- Click the Edit icon in the Web Service field.
- On the Web Service page, scroll down
to find the
ASP option and turn it on.
- Agree with the charges.
ColdFusion
To add ColdFusion support in a Windows-based account, do
the following:
- Select Domain info in the Domain Settings menu.
- Click the Edit icon in the Web Service field.
- On the Web Service page, scroll down to find the
ColdFusion option and turn it on.
- Agree with the charges.
- If you need to add custom file extensions to be handled by ColdFusion,
click the Add icon that has appeared next to the PHP option:
- On the page that appears, enter an extension
for your PHP pages beginning with a dot.
Note: If your account wasn't created from the control
panel, default extensions won't be added when you enable
ColdFusion.
Server Side Includes
You can add your own SSI aliases or, in other words,
specify SSI file name extensions. For example, you can
specify that all *.ssi files must be treated as server side
includes.
To add an SSI alias, do the following:
- Select Domain info in the
Domain Settings menu.
- Click the Edit icon in the Web Service
field.
- On the Web Service page,
scroll down to find the
SSI option and click the Add icon on its
right.
- Agree with the charges, if any.
- In the window that appears, enter your SSI file
extension beginning with a dot:
- Skip this step if you are using
a Windows-based plan.
At the top of the Web Service
page, click the
Apply link for the Server configuration to change.
The changes will take effect within
15 minutes.
