That's what I figured. Thanks.

Hi, can we add plugins to squirrel mail on a user account level, or this only something an admin can do for the entire server? I would like to be able to view and compose emails in HTML format and there are plugins to do so. Thanks

Yes, I was just wondering the same thing. I'd absolutely love if Ruby was installed!!!

Thanks, you guys rule.

Thanks, I'm still investigating some options. Can I manually create a sgi-bin in another directory, say one of my subdomains also? Or is it only the specific one in public_html work. Thanks, Rich

Thanks, I know how to set unix permissions, I'm a long time linux user. I am trying to modify the access control list for specific users which goes above and beyond normal linux permissions. But as I see now, they are not fully supported in your build. Thanks.

From the Moin Moin Installation help ( http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/HelpOnInsta...nstanceCreation ) Normal users, on the contrary, need to broaden the permissions of the files, so that the web server can read and write them. On recent Windows versions, and on some versions of Unix, Linux and other systems, access control lists can be used to that effect. They are, however, powerful and complicated, much beyond the scope of this document. Ask a knowledgeable person about them. Without them, normal users have to allow everybody to access the instance directory. This is the only way the web server can enter it and do its work. This is, of course, VERY INSECURE, since any other user and program on the server can read the directory. You should not use such a setup for a wiki open to the public. On Linux, the following commands will open the instance directory to the whole world: chmod -R a+rwX $INSTANCE Note: * it is also possible to put the web server and the normal user in the same group, and then only open the instance directory to the members of that group. This is a bit more secure (depending on who else is in the group), but you need the cooperation of the server administrator; he is the one setting up groups. * the best other possibility is that the server administrator sets up suexec to execute CGI scripts in user directories under the user id of that user. You don't need to give world permissions that way, so it is a quite secure setup, but you also need cooperation of the administrator. I am most interested in the first option, the access control lists. setfacl can accomplish this, and is present on the servers, but it gives the feedback "operation not supported".

Thanks, but can I set up the access control list of that directory? I only want the specific user nobody (or whichever user apache belongs) to have read and write access, I don't want to enable it for everyone. getfacl command work, but setfacl gives me the feedback: operation not supported. I am wondering if I have the command syntax wrong, or user just can't use setfacl. Thanks.

Hi, I'm not sure which forum to post this. On the servers, which user is apache run under? I assume it is root. I am trying to install the Moin Moin wiki on a subdomain. I need to grant access to root so that the webserver via (cgi scripts) can read and write files to a certain directory. I dont want to grant access to everyone for security reasons, so I'm trying to use the setfacl command to only grant write access to root. Here is the command I am running from the crontab: setfacl -m user:root:rw- <directory path> the output from the command is : setfacl: <directory path>: Operation not supported (I have replaced the actual directory path in the command with <directory path>) Is setfacl permission disabled for users, or is there another option I need to pass for this command to execute? Thanks for you help, Rich

Thanks all. I have to be in a certain directory when I run a script. How can I format the command for a cron job? Can I have two commands execute? One to change to the necessary directory, and then execute the script there?

Hi, I need to run some cron jobs at a specific time(I am in eastern daylight time), but I'm not sure what timezone server36 is on. Is that info available somewhere? Thanks!

Hi. I noticed that the version of Python running on the servers is currently 2.2.2. Are there any plans to upgrade to 2.2.3 or 2.2.4 anytime soon? 2.2.2 is a little buggy, and 2.2.3 or 2.2.4 is recommended by some third party software that I plan to install (although 2.2.2 will still be compatible). Just curious. Thanks!

Thanks, Bruce! I figured. It will be a hassle with cron, but I'll make do.

Hello. I have been using TCH for awhile. I love you guys and your service. However the lack of SSH is really beginning to make me look elsewhere for a host. Is there anyway through cpanel that I can get some type of access to a command prompt? For certain software I need to install and run, I need to execute scripts from time to time, and various other commands to maintain it. I don't want to contact support and get them to run my scripts every time I need to do this. I guess my only other alternative would be cron jobs? Thanks!
