New webserver software has been installed to all servers. The change was
made in a compatible way, your web sites should not be affected.
The most noticeable changes are
- PHP3 scripting language is now supported. Use the file extension
.php3 for your scripts. See http://www.php.net for more information.
PHP2 (aka php/fi) can still be used with file extensions .php and
.phtml. But please note: upgrade your scripts to php3 as php2
is no longer being developed and will be discontinued soon.
PHP3 also has excellent database support, if you are a database
programmer, you should take a look.
- apache modules mod_rewrite and mod_actions have been added
this allows sophisticated users to do many special tricks on
their web space. See http://www.apache.org/ for more details
If you have any questions dont hesistate to ask.
