I e-mailed our hosting company with the nice little list of requirements needed to run Actinic, and they responded with the following:

c) Is the CGI script directory for my site shared with anyone else?

The server has a cg-bin directory where we have installed the scripts that we support. The user does not have read/write access to this directory. However, the webserver does have read access to this directory and can execute the scripts we have placed there. The user has access to a cgi-local directory where he can place whatever scripts he wishes.

Hate to sound dumb, which I am when it comes to web development, but what exactly does it mean? Does this mean they can support the software or not?

Please please please help! TIA! :D

What they're saying is that there's a lbunch of pre-installed scripts that you can run, but not change, and that you have a local directory where you can place your own cgi scripts (for catalog etc).

this is standard and shouldn't be a problem for catalog.
