You are reading the Drake CMS Official Forums archive, available for historical purposes only.
Drake CMS has been rebranded into Lanius CMS, visit the new Lanius CMS Official Forums if you need support about Lanius CMS or Drake CMS -> Lanius CMS migration.
I've registered on 110mb and use their free hosting plan. As
soon as it has no MySQL (it has but that's not free anymore) and
my site intention is mostly for personal and training needs I do
not plan spend money so I have chosen Drake as flat-file CMS. But they also limited some other stuff (CGI, Perl, Python,
Custom error pages, .htaccess/.htpasswd Support, PHP Sendmail,
fsockopen function (this could be open for free but not so
easy)). I just curious, is it possible to run Drake CMS there
still keeping hosting free? This is not expencive really, just my
curiousity.
Please advise what of this so called
'upgrades' are essential? Thank you in advance.

Well LaniusCMS installed with just a couple of small issues, had
to create the lcms dir manually, doesn't seem to be any mail
functions working...
Otherwise slow, but useable..

Thanks for comments.
Some more quiestions (not
much): 1. Got this message during install: PHP setting
magic_quotes_gpc is set On Drake CMS does not need this
weak security mechanism, possible slowdown in all operation Can I change this or the hosting administration only?
2. regarding the mentioned features - I do not understand what
some of them mean for me. As for CGI, Perl, Python - that is a
possibility to run some server side programs which I probaby do
not need. Custom error pages - obvious and works despite of
information from hosting provider; .htaccess/.htpasswd Support, -
no idea (or maybe some minor ones); PHP Sendmail - understand and
will activate, fsockopen - please explain - if critical will
activate.
3. Why should I 'create lcms or other dir
manually'? I've installed CMS in root folder - it works
(obviously without email).
Please advise.
P.S. Please check my message in Russian Translation Section of
forum. Please treat it as application for translator. You
mentioned Lanius, isn't it the same or there is some other
installation that I should use? Lanius site is empty so far... My website will be at rastermaster.110mb.com - you can check
now partial russian translation only. everything else not yet
customised.

I guess you cannot, don't worry about it - it will
not affect functionality

If you have .htaccess support
then you might try to add php_flag magic_quotes_gpc
off on it, but it's just for performance

PHP Sendmail - understand and will activate,
necessary to send emails directly from the server, via sendmail
(google it)

Necessary to open sockets from the server. Look for
php.net/fsockopen

that step was necessary only if trying an SVN version of Drake
CMS, don't care about it.

are moving to the new project.

It's the same so far, when the website will appear
then we will be almost finished moving.
