    Error with New Host

    I get an error with a new host we're looking at as follows;

    The web server returned an unknown response.

    Possible Cause:
    You are attempting to download orders
    before uploading to the web site
    Incorrect CGI-BIN URL in the web site details
    Incorrect permissions on the CGI script on
    the server (UNIX servers only)
    Script corruption - Could be caused by:
    Binary ftp transfer during manual installation
    Incomplete transfer
    Garbled transfer
    etc.
    Old or bad version of Perl running on server
    Http server error
    Wrong Path to Perl specified in the
    web site details
    Unknown
    Recommendation:
    Abort
    Resolution:
    Check cgi-bin script permissions
    Compare cgi-bin script against local script to
    check for corruption
    Upgrade Perl on server (needs at least 5.002)
    Run the Web | Configure Web Site Details command to verify your setup
    Re-install the web site
    Review server response for hints

    The response was:
    ErrorThe program
    encountered an error while processing this request. Please note the time
    of the error, anything you might have been doing at the time to trigger
    the problem, and forward the information to this site's Webmaster ([no address
    given]).Stat failed.
    /shared/volumes/userdata1/2/2869/site/cgi-bin/nq000001.pl: No such file or
    directory
    Make sure that your scripts have the proper
    location for the perl binary on the first line.Your first line should
    look like this :#!/usr/local/bin/perlAlso, for any output, you must
    have the first strings as "Content-type:
    text/htmlnn"


    We have the right perl library path but it does look as though the version is outdated, they are changing that for me later this week... didn't think it should be that massive a problem... but FTP is an issue, here's what the host says;

    This specific software does not use the standards that other FTP programs
    use and it is encountering an issue. It is difficult to configure
    mainstream servers to fill the needs of every specific program. Our
    engineers focus on enabling all things standard. We have a standard
    FreeBSD Operating System. Perl 5.8 which is well above the requirement
    this software requests. We have a user-writeable cgi-bin. Which if you
    use a normal FTP client you will have no problems modifying files within
    the cgi-bin.

    Perhaps if you have someone from Actinic attempt to update to your site
    they can provide more information why their software is having trouble
    with our system as they know their software better than we do. I can tell
    you that it is experiencing a hang--up when attempting to CHMOD 755 on that
    file it places within the CGI-BIN. Other FTP clients do not experience this
    problem.


    Any input on this one much appreciated...

    Thanks,

    Dave.
