hi,
previously i announced that users could test the new web server using
toolserver.org:81 URLs. it's now possible, on a per-user basis, to enable this
for normal URLs, i.e. <http://toolserver.org/~jsmith/>. if you would like this
enabled for your account, please find me on IRC, or open a ticket in the
JIRA Toolserver project[0].
i've written some documentation at [1] about converting existing .htaccess
files to the new format. you'll probably want to test this using the :81 URL
before you ask for a changeover.
this will probably be of interest to people who've been having issues with
long-running PHP scripts recently, although bear in mind it's only a
temporary solution for the moment, as we haven't decided whether to change
server yet.

hi,
it is now possible to run FastCGI programs in languages other than PHP (for
example, Perl or Python) on hemlock. to do this, simply create a standard
FastCGI application, and name it whatever.fcgi. the program does not need to
be inside cgi-bin.
for an example, see /home/river/public_html/test.fcgi and
<http://toolserver.org/~river/test.fcgi?foo>.
converting your programs to FastCGI will make them faster, and also reduce the
load on hemlock.

cache.stable.toolserver.org, will be shut down for emergency maintenance.
