Windows NT permissions??

[jacy]

Hi again,
A big thanks to Chris as i can now upload the files to the correct directory :D. The problem i am having is that while i can see my site if i try to use any part of my site that requires scripts i get a gereral script error!! The server is windows NT so what are the exact permissions need to be set up by my ISP for Actinic to work properly?
I have a suspicion that it maybe a permission problem but I really don't know.

Error is as follows:

"A General Script Error Occurred
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error: Error opening configuration file ../acatalog/A000.cat. No such file or directory
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Press the Browser back button and try again or contact the site owner."

What can it possibly be??
It says it can't find the files but they are there i was looking at the files 2 mins before trying out my site.

Heelllpppppp

Cheers

Jacy

Hello there.

Try this.

In the advanced network settings, Path from CGI-BIN toa acatalog directory, try entering

./acatalog/

Again, still in the advanced network settings try changing the Path from CGI-bIN to acatalog as viewed to the FTP server to read:

../acatalog/

Hope this helps

Hey there Darren,
Thanks for replying.
I read that wonderful beast the knowledge base and entered the absolute path in the bottom box on the left of network config and then did a network test and did not get 1 error!! I'm in the process of uploading now so fingers crossed once i upload i will be able to access all pages of my site with no problems :)

Thanks for helping as usual it is very much appreciated.

Cheers,

Jacy

If you have to set the software up like this, it normally points to the NT server requiring a little tweak.

If the cgi-bin is set up as a virtual directory in IIS (not just physically created) then the files will be looked for (and subsequently run) in the correct place, meaning that the setting would be:-

../acatalog/

If this is not done, IIS will hunt for files (and run them) in the highest available virtual directory, normally the site root.

Hi Again,
So who sets the permissions on or even more importantly creates the virtual cgi-directory?? Is it My ISP or Me??

It is your ISP.

There is more information in the advanced user guide about setting up IIS which is available for download here (http://www.actinicdownloads.com/docs/user_guides/advancedguide_6.pdf)

It details the setup of the virtual cgi-bin.

Hope this helps
