Hi,

Here are my settings that i have entered but i am having problems with the path to the cgi-bin folder.

The cgi-bin folder is in the public_html folder and the permissions are set to 777.

When i run a test in network set-up i get the following error:

The test script failed to execute on the web server. The error could be caused by several things. Check the path to the Perl shell, the CGI script extension, the path to CGI-BIN, and the CGI-BIN URL. This error could also occur if your web site is out of disk space or your web server is not configured to accept POSTs to CGI scripts.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Adam

This might be a clue.

The cgi-bin folder is in the public_html folder

Try /public_html/cgi-bin/ for for the ftp path to cgi-bin.

Try:

/public_html/cgi-bin/

or:

../public_html/cgi-bin/

or

cgi-bin/

I usually find enhanced ftp fails and passive is more successful too. Try each combo of those above. I also think your reference to www for the acatalog should be htdocs also, at least thats how i do it and it works on similar setup.

Thank your for your replys.

I am now getting the following error:

Unable to move to the acatalog directory "../www/" on the FTP server possibly due to a mistake in the Path from CGI-BIN to acatalog Directory field.
The specified directory does not exist or you do not have access to the directory.

Edit- Sorry i have to change ../www/acatalog/ to ../acatalog/ and it works fine now.

Cheers folks.
