Cpanel

CPanel File Location

Sometimes it's easier to cut to the chase and edit your /cpanel files yourself. Anything related to your linux /cpanel is stored in a ".cgiinfo" directory within your root directory. You might not be able to see this within many FTP clients, but while you are logged in to your root dir, simply change directories to ".cgiinfo" and you will reach this location. You can always edit these files via telnet, if you have the ability. This is probably the best way to quickly edit or debug your Bulletin Board, and other components created by your /cpanel.

SSI

1. Renaming the file to .shtml: On our server any file name .shtml will be parsed. So instead of having an index.html file, you would name it index.shtml. This is the easiest way of enabling includes.
2. 
   
   
3. CHMODing the file to 777: With CHMOD 777 you can also mark a file as executable. It is important to only make the files which you want parsed executable. This poses certain security issues, as well as a strain on our resources, as the processor has to work harder to parse a file.

  Reasons for Using SSI: SSI is often used to include something into an HTML page. You can insert the contents of one HTML page into another page. An example of a practical usage for this would be to include your e-mail address at the bottom of each page. If you do this as an include, then when your e-mail address changes, you will only have to update it on one page and not your entire web site. Another usage is to call cgi scripts into action. Many counters, clocks, and other scripts are called using SSI. The command used will most likely be provided in the documentation of your cgi script.

CRON

You can schedule task to be performed automatically by the server at a determined time.

MIME Types / Apache Handlers

A MIME type is basically what tells the web server that a .html document is a web page, and that a .gif doc is a gif image etc.  If you would like to configure a custom MIME type such as making .pictures a gif image file you would enter it here.

Error Pages

This section lets you customize the errors that your users will see instead of the generic server errors. You could setup a 404 page to redirect users to your main web site instead of the default dead document.
