View Full Version : CGI, SSI, 25+ megs of space...

I need CGI (Perl 5.003), SSI (and editing of .htacces permitted) and 25 or more megs of space.

My scripts always return an internal server error at F2S and HyperMart, NetCabins won't load for some reason, DataBlocks isn't excepting signups. My site isn't very complete so GCSNET.net is out of the question. clawz.com asks for personal info I don't want to give out, and rejects applications that have false info on them.

So, are there any other hosts like that out there?

There's always prohosting if you can deal with those horrid banners.

I'm guessing you're doing something wrong if you're getting cgi errors on all those hosts.

I probably am... but support couldn't help, and a lot of other people couldn't help either... neither could any documentation or FAQs...

Just a suggestion for scripts: Always upload scripts in ASCII mode and images in binary.

I have made this mistake myself.

Prohosting works very good for me, for more than a year (no down times as I know of, scripts work fine, quick, and all these you want ) http://free.prohosting.com/

http://www.netfirms.com - they seem to have all you're after (not sure about htaccess though).

They seem pretty decent to me.

Netfirms is GREAT! They hose foriegn domains, FAST-AS-HELL servers, cgi works good, and ssi.

PHP and a smaller ad banner is the only thing to be desired.

got a question do you guys know how to call up a script useing SSI because the script requires it. here is what the script told me to put in to a page where I want to log some thing. Hope its right. And another question is /cgi-bin/logger/logger.cgi a path or an url I have been pondering about it for a long time.
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/logger/logger.cgi"-->

yep! as far as i know cgi-bin/blahblahblah would be the same as yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/blahblahblah so if you had your cgi-bin hosted somewhere else you would have to put the whole url including http://
and if the path is correct you would insert that tag in your page and it should work
