Hello and "Hello world!" application
I aquired this domain with this weird name because after a few attempts I started to think that everything is taken away. However, after I purchased this domain as my primary I found out that there are a lot of lovely names still available. I got sick with domain fever and spent 4 days and some amount of money to buy some other names. I am still in rehab for this disease... I learned a lot of stuff about domain speculation activities out there (not illegal BTW but quite profitable or so they say).
This is all really scary, diseases and all. Well...

To be marginally useful I am testing these Perl and Python "Hello world!" applications:
For those of you who are taking programming classes and are struggling with your first home work which is almost always "Hello world!"-like application, please see below how I made those to work:
Steps 1, 3, and 4 are not strictly necessary but if you want to have fun independence and freedom ... OK.
- choose domain hosting company
- make sure that the company supports perl and python scripting
- choose your primary domain name, do not hurry, almost all good ones are taken though, still it pays to be imaginative and creative
- purchase your domain name
- open your favorite browser and type your domain's name in the address bar to make sure that your web site exists
- login to your hosting company's "control Panel" (cPanel)
- find "File Manager"
- upload the following html file (call it "index.html") in your "public_html" directory:
<html> <head> <title>Hello</title> </head> <body> <p><a href="cgi-bin/helloworld.cgi" target="_blank">Hello world! (perl)</a></p> <p><a href="cgi-bin/helloworld2.cgi" target="_blank">Hello world! (python)</a></p> </body> </html>Note: "target="_blank" is added to open new windows - press browser's "Refresh" for your web site, default page should now be replaced with the above html file
- in any text editor create 2 files with following code:
- helloworld.cgi
#!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type:text/html\n\n"; print "<html><head><title>Hello world!</title></head>"; print "<body>\n"; print "<h2>Hello world!</h2>\n"; print "</body></html>\n"; - helloworld2.cgi
#!/usr/bin/python print "Content-type:text/html\n\n"; print "<html><head><title>Hello world!</title></head>"; print "<body>\n"; print "<h2>Hello worlds!</h2>\n"; print "</body></html>\n";
- helloworld.cgi
- upload these files in you "public_html/cgi-bin" directory
- check that all uploaded files have permissions "755"
- refresh your home page again and try the hello world links
sometimes some short time should pass before they start working correctly, mine, for example, start working only on second try after fresh uploading; however, if you tried a lot of times and still see 500 error check your code, go to company's help site to look for troubleshooting tips - hope it helped!
Here we go again:

This site is also has parked domain - http://www.cannotfindland.com; all other names are add-on meaning that they will look like different websites.
Stay tuned for other things.
