| PHP4 has been configured as an Apache module on Gossimer, LLC Linux Hosting Servers whereas PHP5 has been configured as a CGI. This was a requirement for supporting both versions of PHP on the Servers and allow users to conveniently upgrade their PHP pages to support the newer version.
Configuring PHP as a CGI in a shared hosting environment brings more security, flexibility and less restrictions. It is also easier to track it’s usage and control the resources used by it since CGI scripts run under the website owner’s account and not under the global Web Server account.
Note that the following important features are supported in the CGI version of PHP5 and are not available in the PHP4 Apache module version:
- PHP scripts execute using the permissions of any of the website’s FTP users instead of the user “nobody”.
- World writable folders (chmod 777) are not required for file uploads through PHP.
- PHP scripts need a minimum of 700 permissions to execute. Permission 750 or 770 is recommended. The permissions for all non-executable files such as html, text and images needs to be 774 or 754.
- If the folder that contains a PHP file/script is world writable (chmod 777), it will result in an Internal Server Error. The normal folder permissions can be 771 or 751.
- php_flag or php_value can NOT be used in .htaccess files. This will result in an Internal Server Error.
- The PHP flags that do not work in .htaccess can be moved to php.ini file in the same folder where the PHP script exists. However, the php flag/value will be in the format of php.ini and not that of .htaccess.For example, the following content from .htaccess filephp_flag register_globals off will go the into php.ini file as
register_globals = off
- Apache specific PHP functions do not work under PHP5. Reference >>
- If your .htaccess file contains “Options” directive, it should have + or – with the directive.
IMPORTANT
- The PHP version of your website will be automatically changed from PHP4 to PHP5 on 15th July 2008. In the meantime, you are advised to make your PHP code compatible with PHP5 version.
- You NEED NOT change the permissions of any of your files and folders (as mentioned in points 1 to 4) as those changes will be taken care of automatically when we make the switch from PHP4 to PHP5. However, permissions need to be manually set by you for any new files and folders that are uploaded to your website after the switch to PHP5 version happens.
- If you wish to upgrade the PHP version of your website manually before the announced date, you may do so. Click here to read how >>In such a case, you would need to change the permissions of your files and folders manually in accordance with the points 1 to 4.

MySQL is an open source relational database management system (RDBMS) that uses Structured Query Language (SQL), the most popular language for adding, accessing, and processing data in a database. By relational database management system, it means that it stores data in separate tables rather than putting all the data in one big area. This adds flexibility, as well as speed.
The MySQL database server is the most popular open source database in the world. It is extremely fast and easy to customize, due to its architecture. Extensive reuse of code within the software, along with a minimalist approach to producing features with lots of functionality, gives MySQL great speed, compactness, stability, and ease of deployment. Its setup is such that it is possible to run with very strict control, or with ultra fast disk access, whichever is more appropriate for the situation. Because it is open source, anyone can download MySQL and tailor it to their needs in accordance with the general public license.
MySQL is thus noted mainly for its speed, reliability, and flexibility. Most agree, however, that it works best when managing content and not executing transactions.
For more information about MySQL, refer to http://www.mysql.com.

You can choose to restrict a FTP Users access to a specific directory. Once you define such a restriction then the user will directly land into this particular directory on logging into the server via FTP. The user will not be able to go to the parent directory. Thus, you can create a configuration which ensures that a particular FTP User can make modifications only to a particular section of your website.
To create such a restriction on an existing user follow these steps:
1. Login to your Control Panel and search for the domain name for which you have purchased this hosting package.
2. In the search results view, click on the domain name. This will take you to the order details view.
3. Click on Manage Web Hosting Service in the lower toolbar.
4. In the Website Management interface pop-up that follows, go to Manage Website -> FTP User Manger -> List FTP Users. This would give a list of all FTP users associated with your web hosting package.
5. In the user list view that follows, click on that particular user.
6. In the Home directory field, enter the name of the directory to which you wish to restrict the user’s access. Alternatively, click on browse to choose the requisite directory, then click Select.
7. Click on Submit.

A sub-domain is a subdivision of a Domain Name. While Domain Names need to be Registered with a Registrar, sub-domains are not and an unlimited number of sub-domains can be created through Managed DNS service. For example, a sub-domain news.yourdomain.com can be created on the Domain Name yourdomain.com.
Gossimer allows you to create unlimited sub-domains with your Linux Web Hosting package, by adding a Star (*) Address (DNS) Record for your Domain Name through the Managed DNS Order (that is included for free with your Web Hosting package). When a visitor reaches http://<sub-domain>.yourdomain.com, he is served the content from http://yourdomain.com/sub-domain/. Let’s discuss this with a few examples:
- If someone types http://news.yourdomain.com in the browser, then our web server will try to fetch the content from http://yourdomain.com/news/
So you need to ensure that you have created a folder called news within your website and have an index file (within this folder).
- If someone types http://news.yourdomain.com/php/ in the browser, then our web server will try to fetch the content from http://yourdomain.com/news/php/So you need to ensure that you have created a folder called news within your website and within that folder, a sub-folder called php with an index file (within php folder).
IMPORTANT
If someone typed http://news.yourdomain.com/php (without the trailing forward slash), he would receive a Page not found error.
- If someone types news.yourdomain.com/weather-report.jpg/i/index.html> in the browser, then our web server will try to fetch the content from yourdomain.com/news/weather-report.jpg/i/index.html> So you need to ensure that you have created a folder called news and have weather-report.jpg (within this folder).
IMPORTANT
1. If you are using our Managed DNS Service, then we have already created the appropriate Star Record to allow sub-domains on your Web Hosting package to begin working, once you modify your Name Servers to ours. Click here to find information about which Name Servers to use for activating your sub-domain hosting >>
If you are not planning to use our Managed DNS Service, then you need to add a Star Record to allow sub-domains on your Web Hosting package to begin working. Click here to find information about what DNS Records to add on your own Name Servers for activating your sub-domain hosting >>
2. If you have created an Alias for your Web Hosting package and want sub-domains of each alias to also point just like your hosted Domain Name, then you need to create a Star DNS Record for each aliased Domain Name, to point to your hosted Domain Name.
Example:
Suppose you have a Linux Web Hosting package for yourdomain.com and also a sub-domain news.yourdomain.com. Then say, you decide to set an alias for this package as yourotherdomain.com. To accomplish this, all you need to do is create an Address Record (DNS) for yourotherdomain.com to point to the IP Address of yourdomain.com.
yourotherdomain.com IN A 86400 1.1.1.1 (assuming that this is the IP Address of yourdomain.com)
But say you want news.yourotherdomain.com to function as well, then you would instead need to create a Star Address Record (DNS) for yourotherdomain.com
*.yourotherdomain.com IN A 86400 1.1.1.1 (assuming that this is the IP Address of yourdomain.com)
The Managed DNS Service for yourotherdomain.com could either be purchased through Gossimer or with your current DNS Service Provider.

3. If someone types http://php.news.yourdomain.com in the browser, then our web server will try to fetch the content from http://yourdomain.com/php.news/
If you want http://php.news.yourdomain.com to forward to http://yourdomain.com/news/php/, then you would need to add an alias for yourdomain.com as news.yourdomain.com (assuming that the Star Address Record for yourdomain.com exists).

| Normally, a webpage contains images which are stored on the same hosting server which hosts the webpage too. Here, the images are referenced using relative URLs, i.e., /images/image1.gif.
However, images can be linked remotely also. In such cases, the images exist on a totally different host than the one on which the webpage (in which the images are called) exists. The images are linked using absolute URLs, i.e., http://some otherdomainname.com/pictures/pic.2.jpg. This is known as hotlinking. Since the image is requested from a remote server/website, bandwidth allocated for the remote server/website is utilized. If one indulges in such a practice without the approval of the remote server/website owner, this sort of linking can also be termed as bandwidth theft.
To assist you in preventing such abuse, Gossimer, LLC has provided a feature known as Bandwidth Theft Protection with its Linux Hosting Packages. Using this feature, you can prevent images linked to your website to be referenced remotely.
Using the Bandwidth Theft Protection feature
Follow the process mentioned below to enable Bandwidth Theft Protection for your website:
- Login to your Control Panel and search for the domain name for which you have purchased this hosting package. Click here to read how >>
