No, let me officially say that will NOT be happening. There are NO PLANS for PHP or MySQL for user accounts, EVER. If you have a normal efn dialup account, and ~username webspace, you will NOT be getting PHP, mysql, or other cool goodies. These are being reserved for hosting accounts, based on the idea that efn is about everyone paying for what they can afford and use, and if you need PHP and mysql, you should be paying for that usage of cpu/bandwidth. If you have a hosted domain, at some point soon (no date yet) you will have PHP, and eventually, mySQL. But not next week. Due to a vendor problem, the servers that would have given you PHP aren't functional. Please don't start spreading rumors, and I'll speak to Ray about it too. > > Is it possible to install JAVA or Python in an EFN account home directory > or on a virtual host? As Larry pointed out, Java is always available for applets, it's not a server side thing. No plans for server side java at all (I think server java is ugly) Python is an odd duck... at some point, python will be available, but don't hold out for it anytime soon. Upgrading the shell server is on the list of plans, but not as high as other more pressing issues. Perl is available, as always.
