Trying to use drupal on a free hosting/webspace/mysql service called polarhome.com (recommended). I'm not sure if it possible to run drupal on my space though. Problem is that drupal's .htaccess file is not permitted to overide any of the php directives needed for configuration. Probably prevented my httpd.conf. This includes the 3 most important ones: magic_quotes_gpc, session.save_handler, and session.cache_limiter. Apparently I can have drupal set directive in its scripts itself with the ini_set() function. Problem is php docs say that I can only only override magic_quotes_gpc in a php script itself.

I am therefore screwed when it comes to using drupal on polarhome.com's apache server?
