1and1 hosting - configuration

[Steven Barkess]

Hi

I have moved to 1and1 and have had difficutlies in getting my store configured (and more difficulties in getting info from 1and1).

I have gone for the SME 6 month deal to start with, but reading around, it seems the preffered option is Business Linux. Is this a fair comment.

Has anyone got a config instruction guide for Actinic on 1and1. If not, I'll trawl around the large number of threads (but was hoping that with the difficulties people have had that there was somethng available).

(I am on V7.14 Catalogue)

Appreciate any info.

Steven

I don't remember much of a problem when I moved to 1and1.

If you look at the lower LHS of the 1and1 control panel there's a link to the 'Easy Setup Guide'. That should have most of the info you need.

Hi

Thanks for the comments.

Just for reference...

I had the SMTPHOST as my old provider rather than 'auth.smtp.oneandone.co.uk', and I was trying to put the cgi-bin and acatalog folders into the documents folder.

Easy when you know how, but not obvious (to me!!)
