Apache Handlers Webspace Hosting
Our Apache
handlers webspace hosting allows you to
control what Apache will do with
certain file types.
When Apache
sees a file, it has an action built
in for that file type, and will
perform that action. If you wish
Apache to do a different action, you
will need to make a handler to tell
Apache to perform that action.
Some apache handlers you may want
to add for certain file extensions:
-
application/x-httpd-php - for
PHP scripts
-
application/x-httpd-cgi - for
CGI (Common Gateway Interface)
-
application/x-tar - for .tgz
compressed files
-
application/zip - for .zip
compressed files
We provide an
easy to use control panel to help
create and manage custom Apache
handlers.
For those web hosts that do not have
an easy method to create and manage
custom Apache handlers, you still may be
able to setup custom Apache handlers
using a .htaccess file.
Example:
Lets say you want to run PHP code in
a .html file.
Step 1:
Create a plain text file using a
text editor such as Windows Notepad.
Step 2:
Add the following text...
 |
| |
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php
.html |
|
|
|
|
Step 3:
Save the file as a plain text
file. Name the file ".htaccess"
Step 4:
Upload the .htaccess file in
ASCII mode to your web space using
an FTP application.
Step 5:
Try it out. Upload a php script
to your web space (script.php).
Rename the php script to use a .html
extension (script.html). Go to the
script in a web browser. Check out our
