Hi there, i'm interested in you shared hosting plan, i would to know if you can setup phpCGIwrap by default on my account; i must run some php scripts with write permissions on file system.

Thanks

You can actually do this yourself. PHP runs under the user nobody by default, so you would have to chmod all of your directories you need to write to 777 if you wanted to use the default.

The method to make PHP run under your username is as follows:

In your public_html folder, place a .htaccess file with the following...

Then, in your /public_html/cgi-bin/ directory, make a file called php and place the following in it...

Make sure that the /cgi-bin/php is chmodded 755. This essentially creates a CGI wrapper for php that will allow it to execute in your username. Just be careful with your coding. One little exploit would give someone complete access to your entire site, which is the same with CGI.
