Shared SSL and Email Configuration

[LBLB]

We are at the final stage of designing our online store, with the hope of having it up and running by Christmas! We are stuck on two things:

Shared SSL
We are using "credit card details captured for later processing". The shared SSL is with Demon. Having confirmed the payment method, the following error message appears

Error 405 Method Not Allowed
The requested method POST is not allowed for URL /www.lesterbowden.co.uk/acatalog/sp000021.pl
Powered by Zeus Technology

What do we do??

Email Configuration:
We have tested the Netork Setup details, and this all passes. In the Web Site Configuration wizard we can reach the stage about the emails, but when we click next we receive the following message:

An error occurred while sending an HTTP request to the web server. Perhaps your network is down or the webserver is down. Try again or contact your network administrator or ISP to correct the situation.

Both internet and email address are working fine - any suggestions?

Export your network settings to a textfile (Advanced / Network Setup / Export) and compare with the following that work fine on a Demon Zeus server. Note these are for a V6 site but should be pretty similar in V7.

unfortunatley that didnt work! it actually started to stop working earlier on in the checkout than it was without the changes - think that it may be the difference between v6 and v7?? any other ideas?

Hi LB

Problems like this really need someone taking a look at your network settings so I suggest registering an email support query at http://www.actinic.co.uk/support/register.htm and the team there will be able to advise you further.
