Support for programming and scripting languages widely used in development of dynamic
Web sites and server-side Web applications. Specify which of the following
programming and scripting languages should be interpreted, executed or
otherwise processed by the web server: Active Server Pages (ASP), Server Side
Includes (SSI), PHP hypertext preprocessor (PHP), Common Gateway Interface
(CGI), Fast Common Gateway Interface (FastCGI), Perl, Python, ColdFusion, and
Miva scripting required for running Miva e-commerce solutions.
Web statistics. To allow domain/web site owner to view the information on the
number of people visited his or her site and the pages of the site they viewed,
select the statistical package you need from the Web statistics menu (AWStats is
recommended), and select the accessible via password protected directory /plesk-stat/
check box. This will install the statistical software of your choice, which will
generate reports and place them into the password-protected directory. The
domain/web site owner will then be able to access Web statistics at the URL:
https://your-domain.com/plesk-stat/webstat using his or her FTP account login and
password.
Custom error documents. When visitors coming to your site request pages that the
web server cannot find, the web server generates and displays a standard HTML
page with an error message. If you wish to create your own error pages and use
them on your server or allow your customers to do that, select the Custom error
documents check box.
Shell access to server with FTP user's credentials. This allows a site owner to upload
securely web content to the server through a Secure Socket Shell connection,
however, allowing shell access also poses a potential threat to the server security,
so we recommend that you do not allow shell access. Leave the Forbidden option
selected.
