Sorry, missed the posting of the original question for some reason.
The answer is no, if you are trying that on the pages.ripco.net server. It
doesn't execute cgi or php scripts.
Only reason for that is because it's a communal server, everyones home page
runs off a single process/server. There is just too much of a headache
safeguarding the thing from exploitable scripts and stuck-in-a-loop
processes.
Basically if one web page goes bad, everyones does.
Since the commerical accounts run independent servers, although that doesn't
stop anyone from using an exploitable script, it's easier to trace back and
if a loop develops, it only screws up that one site.
