C++ scripts

[Osmolovsky]

Sorry for stupid question but does Plesk's vhosts can use C++ scripts?

 

[jshanley]

Do you mean CGI scripts? I'm not aware of a way to run raw C++ code as any kind of script; you'd need to compile it first.

Plesk runs CGI scripts, in the cgi-bin folder.

 

[Osmolovsky]

I am not assured that correctly has asked a question, but the client wants "Perl, Php, Python and C++" and I do not know what to answer about C ++

They want a shell account on your machine, so they can compile programs.

 

[Osmolovsky]

Ohh. me looser ^)

So. Second question.
Does plesk chrooted shell сan give it necessary functionality ( awk, c++, sh scripts etc) ?

 

[jshanley]

I dont know, I've never tried it and dont want to. I never give shell access to any users on any "shared hosting" machines; I think it's too high of a risk (for me anyway). If they want/need shell access, they can get a dedicated hosting box (imho).

 

[Osmolovsky]

i think full shell is too dangerous, but chrooted shell - not.

need to make more tests before ^)
