permissions problem making upload impossible

[jaimeh]

Can anyone shed any light on the following error? I think it might be related to the FTP permissions. I have already tried to compact the database to combat the diskspace thing, but no joy.

An error occurred while writing to "acatalog" on the web site. The problem is probably due to permissions problems, but could be due to low disk space. Actinic can not work with these settings. Press Cancel if you would like to manually examine the permissions and disk space on the web site. Press Retry if you would like Actinic to attempt to change the permissions on the directory for you.

The disk space the message is referring to is the available disk space on your server not your local PC - compacting the database will not help with that. It would be worthwhile therefore checking that as well as your catalog and cgi-bin folder permissions.

I'm pretty sure these two settings cannot be right:

PATHTOCGIBIN /var/www/html/www.ladders-online.com/cgi-bin/
FTPPATHFROMCGITOCATALOG /var/www/html/www.ladders-online.com/acatalog/

the second one is wrong and explains why actinic cannot find the acatalog folder.
