Hi Peachey, you are right. That's what is required by Hostgator. But my two present webhosts don't require that. This problem is minor but it makes me worry about other problems.
As you know, webhosts install a lot of security features in their shared-hosting servers that makes it difficult to implement certain features such as texvc, to mention one. As it is, one of my webhost still does not know how to enable my texvc feature and so some of my articles appear as garbage, eg. http://teknologi-maklumat.com/wiki/Bilion PM Poon On Mon, Feb 16, 2009 at 5:04 PM, K.
