Hi Julie.
LOVED your book.

With regard to Hurricane Electronic- we (Abriasoft) use them for our
colocating, and they have always been very proffesional and fair to deal
with. They have a really nice facility, its clean and well run.

Anyway, I don't know squat about their virtual hosting.
Does their virtual hosting provide webDAV support?

If yes, does it do it right for dynamic content?

i.e.
Alias /Linux_Pages/ "/var/www/Linux_Pages/"

Alias /Linux_Pages-src/ "/var/www/Linux_Pages/"

<Directory "/var/www/Linux_Pages">
    Options Indexes MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName DAV
    AuthUserFile dav.auth
</Directory>

followed by a

<IfModule mod_dav.c>
        DAVLockDB /var/apache/dav/moddav
        DAVMinTimeout 600

        <Location /Linux_Pages-src/>
        DAV On
        ForceType text/plain
        <Limit PUT POST PROPFIND PROPPATCH MKCOL COPY MOVE LOCK UNLOCK>
                Require user michael
        </Limit>
        </Location>
</IfModule>

The ForceType in the mod_dav directive lets me use webDAV client like
Goliath on MacOS or DAVExplorer on Linux to get the php source without
it being processed first- but I haven't yet found a host that provides
webDAV and sets up an extra alias for getting the source php unparsed,
which is what you really want 'cause dynamic content is definately the
way to go.

If anyone knows of a hosting company that does that- I'd love to hear
about it.
I suppose I could just get a 1U- but $200/mo is steep for a non profit
making personal site... ;)

Thanks for any suggestions/comments
