Toolserver:Web hosting

The Toolserver provides web hosting to users. Your files should be placed in $HOME/public_html/, and they will be accessible from the Internet at  http:// toolserver.org/~ /.

For CGI scripts, there are two options: plain CGI and FastCGI. If possible, you should use FastCGI, since it's faster, and reduces the load on the web server. However, if you have already-written CGI scripts, you can use them unmodified if you don't have the time to convert them to FastCGI.

To use FastCGI scripts, place them in $HOME/public_html/, with the extension .fcgi, and make sure they're executable.

To use plain CGI scripts, place them in $HOME/public_html/cgi-bin/. They do not need a particular file extension (like .cgi), but they do have to be executable.

PHP scripts (which must have the extension .php) can be used anywhere in your public_html.

Access and error logs are located in /var/log/http/</tt> on hemlock</tt>.
