permission problem on linux web server
Hi,
Recently my web hosting moved my site from BSD unix to Debian Linux platform. My website uses custom c function (compiled c program accessed using Exec command from within the PHP). But on the new platform the program won't execute and after a lot of back and forth I found that it was a permission problem. Web hosting company says that they cannot allow any binary file to execute on the server. But this puts me in a desperate situation. Any help will be highly appreciated. Tech guy from web hosting is suggesting that i convert my compiled binary program to ASCII code. I have no idea how to do that or whether it will work or not. what are my options.

I don't think we can 'convert' compiled code to ASCII. Its half security issue with them and half marketting trick to move you to dedicated hosting.
