Can you tell me what version of PHP / Perl / Ruby / Python / another software package is installed on the server?
Up-to-date information about the installed software packages that are available on our servers can be seen on the System Info page of the Control Panel.
Next to PHP and Perl, there are links that read "more info"; they will display the installed modules for the particular interpreter.
If a module that you want to use is not listed there, let us know at http://suresupport.com/, and we will check if it is possible to install it for you.

How can I check the raw Apache access logs?
The raw Apache access logs are available using FTP. Once you log in to your account via FTP, change the working directory to /logs (make sure that you include the leading slash). You will find the logs in that directory.
We also provide log analysis tools that are readily available with your hosting account. You can access them on the Site Statistics page of the Control Panel.
Note that the error_log of the web server is not available. The FTP or mail logs are not available, either. If you need information that is contained in these logs, please contact our Support team at http://www.suresupport.com/.
