■Are there any points that we need to be aware of when using CGI, PHP and SSI?

Please be aware of the following points. For more details, please refer to “About CGI・PHP・SSI” on the SAKURA’s rental server manual.
ITC does not provide any support for this so any problems must be solved by yourselves.

• Set the permissions of the directory to 755 or 705
• Set the file permission to 755 or 705
• Set the extensions as follows.
  For CGI, .cgi
  For PHP, .php
  For SSI, please use .shtml or .shtm. It is not possible to specify a program by an absolute path.
• Make sure that Options is not specified in .htaccess.
  CGI does not work unless descriptions entered in options of .htaccess file has been deleted. For more details, please click here.

[ When using CGI ]
An error will occur if write permission has been given to others besides the owner of files and directories even though the CGI does not have any programing problem. This error occurs because the program uses the suEXEC function.
Please also refer to the “Basic Specification” in Sakura’s support information.
