This document explains how to add support for dynamic web pages, including:
CGI Scripts
To add CGI support, it will suffice to create a CGI alias or, in other words, to specify a CGI file extension and a CGI handler for it, for instance Perl. For example, you can specify that all *.cgi files must be treated as executable Perl scripts.
To add a CGI alias, do the following:
1. Select Web Options in Quick Access.
2. On the Web Service page that shows, scroll down to find the CGI-dir option and click the path. Please bear in mind that the path is already installed by default. DO not erase it unless you know what you are doing. Now all files in the cgi-bin directory will be treated as CGI executables. This is the directory to place all your CGI scripts.
3. On the Web Service page, scroll down to find the CGI option and click the Add icon on its right.
4. Enter an extension beginning with a dot and select the handler from the list:

3. Skip this step if you are using a Windows-based plan.
At the top of the Web Service page, click the Apply link for the Server configuration to change. The changes will take effect within 15 minutes.
4. On the page that appears, enter an extension for your PHP pages beginning with a dot, for instance .php4. Select the MIME type from the list.
5. Skip this step if you are using a Windows-based plan.
At the top of the Web Service page, click the Apply link for the Server configuration to change. The changes will take effect within 15 minutes.
ASP

Server Side Includes
You can add your own SSI aliases or, in other words, specify SSI file name extensions. For example, you can specify that all *.ssi files must be treated as server side includes.
To add an SSI alias, do the following:
1. Select Web Options in Quick Access.
2. On the Web Service page, scroll down to find the SSI option and click the Add icon on its right.
