Network settings plus error message

[dogtired]

hello
I am new to this and am trying to change to a new host.
I have been given the settings as follows:

Server details:
Catalog URL: http://www.(domain)/acatalog/
CGI-BIN URL: http://www.(domain)/acatalog/cgi/
Codebase: ./
Path from CGI-BIN to acatalog directory: ../

FTP Details:
Server Host ftp.(domain)
Username: (account username)
Password: (account password)
Path to CGI-BIN: public_html/acatalog/cgi/
Path from CGI-BIN to acatalog directory as viewed by the FTP Server: ../
Use Passive FTP Transfers: tick only if having difficulty uploading

Common Settings:
CGI Script ID Number: 1
Extension: .pl
Ignore Passive Transfer Errors: tick
Use Relative CGI-BIN URLs in Catalog Pages: leave unticked unless required
Web Site URL: http://www.(domain)
Path to the Perl shell: /usr/bin/perl

Email Settings:
SMTP Server: mail.(domain)
Username and Password Required: tick
Username: email address
Password: email password

I know I need to fill in the domain and password bits but do I need to put anything in the lines I have underlined.

Thanks

The error is:

AN ERROR OCCURED WHILE MERGING THE FILES ON THE REMOTE SITE

It then lists the domain holding page.

Is this due to the domain not having settled down yet?


Thanks

It is working so I must have entered the correct settings.
For anyone else these settings are for, host is Briteideas and Heart Internet servers.


Thanks

A quick search would have turned up many posts on merge error. The common concensus, echoed by drounding in a concurrent thread, is that the merge script runs longer than expected and reaches the limit permitted on the server for a script to complete.

Repeating the upload, or running upload if the first operation was a refresh, usually completes without error (because part of the work is already done, so just the balance to do = less time needed second time through).
