PHPsuexec & .htaccess nightmare
After some very lousy performance, last night my hosting company kindly moved my sites to a new shared server.
“there will be no downtime” they said…
I’m sure plenty of people have heard that before!
My new server runs PHPsuexec, so I can’t use .htaccess files :(
I’m quite sweet on clean URLs, and anyway, reverting to messy mode across 10 sites might just create more problems than it solves.
I checked the FAQs and did a search but found nothing that made sense to me. But I’m not much of an expert on issues like this.
Does anyone have any wise words?
Are clean URLs possible with PHPsuexec?

Sencer carries out an experiment based on a misuse of 404 ErrorDocuments. Doesn’t look like pure fun, either.
And now it’s time for the wise word: Time to change hosting providers… There is quite a lot of them who do not work against their customers. Dreamhost, for instance (cough).

Re: PHPsuexec & .htaccess nightmare
With PHPsuexec you can indeed use .htaccess, you just have to place all PHP related rules (php_value, php_flag…) in a file named php.ini instead.
Cody Lindley wrote an article about this a couple years ago. You can use it to double-check you’ve got all your permissions set properly.
