Dear Actinic Guys..
I have the upmost respect for you guys as you have a product that appears to have the functionality that a LOT of people have been waiting for for years.
I tried your demo version (v8.51) with great anticipation ....fully expecting to be spending around £1549 + VAT for the multi user package... yet i have to admit defeat.. i still cannot get STABLE results from the demo..
During testing i can configure NON SSL with success - then SSL with success... even managed once to get them both working simultaneously successfully - but then for some obscure reason things just 'fail'....
All of the errors i've experienced have been posted on this forum and yes, some people may have got their systems up and running but i suspect that there are many like me who have thought/may be thinking "Is it worth it?"
Again, with respect if i'm to pay £1549 + VAT for a package it should NEVER be the case that it MAY or MAY NOT work depending on whether your ISP 'supports' it. The ecommerce solution that we are all no doubt striving for should be able to accomodate all ISP scenarios.... no i'm not a programmer and cannot even start to think about the technical side of things... having said that i'm a potential customer who's waving his hard earned cash at the vendor that can do the business...
...and just referring to the Title.. yes i am a failure.. i tried.. i've searched this forum - saw other people with the EXACT same issues (doesn't that in itself concern you?) - i've Googled - had serious words with my ISP (Streamline.net)... but have had to admit defeat.. i cannot get a stable working Actinic v8.51 with shared SSL... i'm having to use an alternative with not as many features however, it worked 'out of the box' - ($89)..
I do have to smile at people's comment along the lines of "do a search and you'll find loads of posts with the same topic" - well that tells me that something just isn't quite right.
I do know that there are many users who are 100% satisfied with Actinic... and i applaud you... it's that for me i need something a little more robust...
Anyway....this isn't meant to put anyone's nose out of joint but more of a single potential client's point of view... please think of my points as constructive rather than dismissive....
Finally, might i suggest that it may be prudent to actually approach various popular ISP's and form some sort of strategy for success? Collate a definitive list of requirements, perhaps even a pro forma for the various settings for ALL scenarios...(i.e. shared SSL etc).
Respectfully
Ian
