Q:Can I have CGI and ASP and Perl on my Website?

A: Spirit Hosting will set up your account to have custom CGI abilities. But since this is running in an NT or Windows 2000 environment, you need to obtain CGI-Script written for specifically NT or Windows 2000.

Also supported is ASP, ASP.net (in some packages) and Perl Script.

Q: Do my scripts require e-mail authentication?

A: Yes, all of our SMTP servers require authentication:

SMTP: Use smtp.youraccountdomain.com

Authentication example:

Mail.Host = "smtp.youraccountdomain.com" ' Specify a valid SMTP server

Mail.Username = "admin@youraccountdomain.com" 'Specify the valid use account here

Mail.Password = "xxxxx" ' Specify you actual user password here

Q: What are the paths to set up scripts for my Website?

A: Supported are both CGI and Perl Scripts:

Unix:

remember perl and cgi is run under /cgi-bin folder and you will run the scripts residing in the secure directory referenced to the regular CGI folder.

#!/usr/bin/perl

full path: /home/webuser/domainname.com/cgi-bin

full path: /home/webuser/domainname-com/public_html

Unix URL is http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/ or ./cgi-bin

Sendmail Path: /usr/sbin/sendmail

NT:

NT Physical Path
/home/webuser/yourdomain.com/cgi-bin
or
e:/webuser/web/yourdomain.com/

NT URL is http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/ or ./cgi-bin

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

Sendmail not available with NT
