Actinic folder appearing in cgi-bin using fasthosts

[gevork]

Hello,
I’m running actinic business version 6.1.3. I have tried to upload a completely fresh copy of my website on a new domain and have used the following settings;

SCRIPTID 1
SCRIPTEXT .pl
SMTPHOST smtp.sewitall.com
WEBSITEURL http://www.sewitall.com/
IGNOREPASSIVEERRORS true
USERELATIVECGIURLS true
PATHTOPERL c:\perl\bin
CATALOGURL http://www.sewitall.com/acatalog/
CGIBINURL http://www.sewitall.com/cgi-bin/
PATHFROMCGITOCATALOG ./acatalog/
CODEBASE ./
FTPHOST ftp.sewitall.com
FTPUSERNAME *****
FTPPASSWORD *****
PATHTOCGIBIN htdocs/cgi-bin/
USEPASSIVEFTP true
FTPPATHFROMCGITOCATALOG

The website is hosted on fasthosts Windows 2003 and they recommend the settings used above. Actinic approves the test.. but always creates the folder in cgi-bin. I was wondering if it was another setting that was causing this problem.


Many thanks in advance

PATHFROMCGITOCATALOG ./acatalog/

This should be ../acatalog/ - you are telling Actinic that the acatalog directory is in the cgi-bin folder the way you have it, the '..' means go down a directory level

Dear Pneumatus,
Im afraid that using ./acatalog/ or ../acatalog/ still creates the directory in the cgi bin..

The only exception is when i enter a value for "path from cgi bin to acatalog as viewed by ftp server" entering ./htdocs/acatalog/ or ../htdocs/acatalog/ produces errors, ignoring them allows the website to upload in the correct folder.

But! problems arise when i try and download it says;

"The path from the cgi-bin to the acatalog directory is not correct.
It appears as if the acatalog directory does not exist on the remote host.

Possible Cause:
The path from the cgi-bin to the acatalog directory is not correct.
The acatalog directory has been
removed or renamed."

Help would be much appreciated.

If the following file structure is what you see when you FTP in:
/htdocs
/htdocs/cgi-bin
/htcods/acatalog

then then you should have:
PATHTOCGIBIN htdocs/cgi-bin/
PATHFROMCGITOCATALOG ../acatalog/

Sometimes the test fails if the acatalog directory hasnt already been created _or_ the permissions arent correct on it... try setting the permissions on your /htdocs/acatalog dir to 777. You shouldn't need to set the FTPPATHFROMCGITOCATALOG afaik.
