Cheap Web Space, Domain Name:
Web Space With E-Mail, PHP/MySQL.

Symptom

You have a PHP script or an HTML page with built-in PHP commands but want to name that file *.html and not *.php. Unfortunately the web server only interprets .php-files as PHP code. In an .html-page it displays the PHP code as plain text instead.

Solution

Create a text file named ".htaccess" in the document root directory of your website. Enter the following line. If an .htaccess-file already exists, add the line to that file:

AddHandler php-script .html .htm

By using this line the web server knows that it ought to parse .html and .htm files for PHP code and that it ought to interpret -segments as PHP commands. Please note that this .htaccess command will work on Bitpalace shared hosting web space, but may not work on web space of other providers.

Then add the following lines to the "Additional configuration directives" section with the PHP icon in the webspace control panel:

[php-fpm-pool-settings]
security.limit_extensions = .php .phar .html .htm .inc

Add the following additional lines to the "Additional directives for HTTP" and "Additional directives for HTTPS" sections in the "Apache and nginx settings" icon in the webspace control panel:

If you are using the PHP-FPM interface (recommended):



SetHandler proxy:unix:///var/www/vhosts/system/example.com/php-fpm.sock|fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000



(Replace „example.com“ by your domain name.)

If you are using the PHP-FastCGI interface:



SetHandler fcgid-script
FCGIWrapper /var/www/cgi-bin/cgi_wrapper/cgi_wrapper .htm
Options +ExecCGI
allow from all





SetHandler fcgid-script
FCGIWrapper /var/www/cgi-bin/cgi_wrapper/cgi_wrapper .html
Options +ExecCGI
allow from all



After the change, it may take up to 15 minutes for the web server to apply the updated configuration.

Should you not be able to carry out these changes yourself due to lack of permissions, Bitpalace Support will gladly run them for you free of charge in a timely manner. Please send us an e-mail request.
