I'm not sure what that DH rep is going on about, because the same set of 
LC Lessons that describe how to set it up via Apache config also include 
one on setting it up via .htacces on shared hosts.

I can understand why they don't *support* LC, is in provide technical 
support for it, since LC isn't theirs to support.  There are too many 
languages in this world to expect a vendor to train their staff in all 
of them.

But there's nothing special about setting up LC Server that's much 
different from setting up any scripting engine to work as a CGI under 
Apache. IMO a shared host wouldn't be worth using if they turned off CGI 
support altogether, and thankfully DH hasn't.

Many of us have been using LC Server on Dreamhost shared servers for 
many years. And just to make sure nothing has changed, I just did a 
fresh install into a new folder on one my servers - try this:
