1. Do you support Perl or other scripting languages?
The MicroRack servers come with the PHP5, PHP7 and Perl5 pre-installed. The Systems also support PHP4, SSI (Server Side Includes), csh, sh, and other popular UNIX scripting languages.
In addition you have access to the pre-installed C/C++ compiler GCC.
2. What is the path of 'perl' on the MicroRack systems?
The perl path is:
/usr/bin/perl
3. What is the location of my php.ini file?
The php.ini file is located at:
/etc/php.ini
However, there is no default php.ini file on the servers and accounts. PHP is running with the compiled in default values. If you need a php.ini, just create one.
4. Is PHP running in safe mode?
PHP is not running in safe mode.
5. Where is Sendmail located?
On the MicroRack system the location is:
/usr/sbin/sendmail
The Sendmail location on the Standard and Pro hostings account is:
/bin/sendmail
6. PHP Scripts are displayed as source code rather than being parsed.
If your PHP scripts are not being parsed by the PHP engine, but rather are being displayed as text files (thus revealing the PHP source code), it is likely that the PHP option is not activated for this domain in the HERA VS or MicroRack SiteManager.
7. Do you support ASP?
Currently ASP is not supported.
8. Do you support Java servlets and Java server pages (JSP)?
Yes. A Java implementation based on jsdk1.1.8/JSDK 2.0/ApacheJServ/GNUJSP is available for the MicroRack systems.
The FreeBSD Project has signed an agreement with Sun to offer a newer Java version, but they have not released a native installation package so far. Our support team can install the jsdk1.1.8 based ApacheJServ package on your server.
9. How can I install additional software and perl modules on my MicroRack server?
On FreeBSD systems all additional software is installed in the /usr/local directory.
You can compile software from the sources, but the best way to install additional software (and Perl modules) is to telnet or ssh to your server and use the FreeBSD system installer located at /stand/sysinstall while logged in as root.
The FreeBSD Ports and Packages Collection offers a simple way for users and administrators to install applications.
Example session for installing additional perl modules:
Login as "root" via SSH or login with your admin name via telnet and "su" to root.
Type
/stand/sysinstall
Select "Do post-install configuration of FreeBSD"
Select "Install pre-packaged software for FreeBSD"
Select "Install from an FTP server"
Select "USA #2 ftp2.freebsd.org"
Now choose the packages you want to install.
Perl modules are located in the sub-section
"perl5 Utilities/modules for the PERL5 language."
10. How can I accept credit cards on my website?
Credit cards must be processed through a merchant who has a "merchant account". While these are fairly easy to obtain in the United States, they are usually offered for a fee or by companies that charge a monthly fee to process transactions, on top of a per transaction fee.
The simplest and fastest way to get launched is to sign up for payment processing through a service that offers "third party merchant accounts". PayPal. is one of the pioneers of internet third party credit card processing, As they no longer require your customers to create an account, PayPal is the easies and most trusted choice for third party payment processing.
With PayPal, there are no setup charges, gateway fees, cancellation fees, or monthly charges. With the quick and easy setup and site integration, you can start collecting payments in minutes. You can accept credit cards immediately and transfer funds into your bank account electronically, rather than waiting for money orders and checks to clear. Your company name will appear on your customer's credit card statement, international merchants are welcome and multiple currencies are supported.
