Are you hosted at 1and1.com? Have you ever wondered what your configuration options are? The version of Linux you are running? Versions of MySQL and Perl, Python or PHP?
There are some handy commands you can use to find out this information:
1. Linux version can be retrieved in an ssh session with the command:
uname -a
2. There are 4 useful files in your ~/logs directory that you can call with the links
http://yourdomainname.com/logs/info.php - For PHP information
http://yourdomainname.com/logs/info.php5 - For PHP5 information
http://yourdomainname.com/logs/info.pl - For Perl information
http://yourdomainname.com/logs/info.py - For Python information
Finally, if you want to know how much HTTP, FTP, WebDAV and Email traffic has been happening on your 1and1 pacakge use this link:
http://yourdomainname.com/logs/traffic.html
Replace yourdomainname.com with a valid domain you are hosting at 1and1.com, of course.
