    CGI-BIN Url issue

    Not used Actinic for quite some time as moved to another ecommerce system but am now using my old copy of V10 to help a friend with a small site.

    Having a problem with loading the site. The hosting company is Heart and the domain is listed as a multi site - not the main domain for the hosting account and therefore is referred to as
    /home/sites/MAINSITEdomain.co.uk/public_html/MULTISITEdomain.co.uk/

    The issue is to do with the path to CGI bin which we have as http://MULTISIEdomain.co.uk/cgi-bin/ however when uploading get the error
    Actinic is not able to run the CGI scripts on the server. It appears as if the scripts are not installed. The most likely cause is that you have an incorrect CGI-BIN URL

    Heart have been great with support but they are at a loss as to why this doesn't work. Does anyone have any experience re this?

    Thanks

    Hi Kathy,

    The 'Path to cgi-bin' setting requires a directory / file path to the cgi-bin for ftp access.

    A file path would not normally begin 'http'.

        If you are creating sub-sites off the main domain you need to create a new folder at public_html/SUBSITE/ set the CHMOD to 755 and just change the directory paths to include /SUBSITE/
