In trying to correct a problem I've entered an invalid path for the 'path from cgi-bon to acatalog directory' and got the following error notice when I tried to upload:

**************************************************

The path from the cgi-bin to the acatalog directory is not correct.
It appears as if the acatalog directory does not exist on the remote host.

Possible Cause:
The path from the cgi-bin to the acatalog directory is not correct.
The acatalog directory has been
removed or renamed.
Recommendation:
Abort
Resolution:
Run the Web | Configure Web Site Details. Check "Confirm Each Setting" and verify that the setup looks correct. Verify that the acatalog directory exists on the web site and is readable by the web server. Then try to refresh the site.

Command: date Filename:

***********************************************

I've reconfigured my network settings by running web/configure web site details (including the 'confirm each setting' setting) but now I get the same error message before catalog makes any attempt to upload or refresh the web site.

Is there some way of resetting this ? I'm using catalog V 5.1.6.

Just to add some more info:

1) I've tested the network settings that are now configured and they seem to pass all the test O.K.

2) The network settings I'm using are the same as I've used for a year without problems.

3) I've tried closing down catalog and restarting it. Same result.

4) I've checked using my FTP program and acatalog does still exist in my web directory.

Menar in tech support has helped me get around this. Thanks.

The script seems to have got stuck somewhere but changing the perl script id number in network settings appears to have solved the problem.
