Something wrong with RAR compresssion

[Rost]

Hi there.

I try to describe the problem as better as I can.

 

I'm developping some mini-apps that can be viewed by many (most of them) mobile devices. Since I uploaded the first proyect this week I begun writing a RAR Online-Uncompressor, as a friend's request. I guess this mini-app will be useful for many people. I done it, and tested within my localhost. But when I tryed it once in my host, something gone wrong, and now it throws an http 500 error. It uploads the *.rar file, but not uncompress it.

 

At the other hand, could I get access to some statistics? Only for getting information about what kind of devices access to my apps.

 

Thanks.

 

Edit:

I fixed that, but now I have another question. Do I have permission to execute commands? Like

echo `rar e ...`;

It depends on what scripting language you are using. It's been disabled for PHP for security reasons due to how PHP scripts run, but if you're using a CGI script, then you should have no problems.

About the stats, they are disabled in cPanel due to the load they cause.

If you wish to collect stats, you can use software like Piwik (can be found in Softcalculus in cPanel) or getClicky.

Thanks to both.

Could you give me an example please?
