Yes. You can install almost any CGI scripts you can get your hands on. We provide access to the standard UNIX shell languages (awk, sed, etc), Perl 4 and Perl 5 libraries, as well as the gnu C/C++ compiler.

2) How do I access the Perl 5 libraries?

When using Perl 5 make sure that the first line of your Perl CGI has the following:

#!/usr/bin/perl

3) Password protected pages?

I am trying to place a members only pop-up password box and would like to know how to do this. Can you help?

Sure. Just email support@drwebhosting.com your domain name, the directory you need to password protect, the username you want for the directory, and the password you want for the directory. We'll set it up for you and email you when complete.

4) Do you supply shopping carts?

I need a shopping cart programs with which to do e-commerce?

Yes, we have 3 shopping cart programs that we can install on your website for your use. Examples of these carts are available at:
http://shop.drwebhosting.com/
Email support@drwebhosting.com and we will set one up for you.

5) Where are the counters, search engines, form mail, and other scripts?

Check out http://www.scriptarchive.com

Check out http://www.beseen.com/

These scripts are all free, as are most Unix scripts.

6) How do I use Server Side Includes?

Use the #include directive to include files into your current html document. The "file=" or "virtual=" elements can both be used. For example, let's say you were trying to include doc1.html into doc2.html. Both documents exist in a directory called "docdir" in your main htdocs area.

Here is how to use either form of the #include server side include in doc2.html to include doc1.html in subdirectory "docdir" in your htdocs area.

<!--#include file="doc1.html" -->
<!--#include virtual="/docdir/doc1.html" -->

Notice that the "file" element is relative to the current document directory and the "virtual" element is relative to the the main htdocs directory.

7) How do I allow server side includes from a directory?

First, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the configuration files for your web server which is based on NCSA httpd 1.4.2 software. An excellent on-line resource can be found at the following URL-

To allow CGI's to be executed from a directory do one of the following:

1. Chmod 755 the file
2. Make it a .shtml file
