cgi-bin and perl problems

[razzyjazzy]

Hi
I am using actinic version 7 on a 1and1 server, running plesk 8.3
The network setup has cgi-bin and perl errors. cannot find them
Have rung 1and1 and they have confirmed that everything is in place and correctly configured.
I am told this is an actinic problem

1and1 is usually easy to set up on Linux.
Initially check for correct permissions on acatalog and cgi-bin.
Run a network test and check for errors and report them back here.

Here's a working set of settings for 1and1:

network setup

Everything as per your post.
network setup test results below:-

Unable to create the acatalog directory "acatalog" on the FTP server. The parent directory "../" may not exist or its permission may not be correct .

The specified directory is not writable or the disk is out of space.

So is there an acatalog folder on the server? If so, what are the permissions set to?

[Duncan Rounding]

On 1and1 you must first manually create the two directories before uploading with Actinic.

Well even if we could read the settings in that image it would make no difference, you first need to do as Duncan says and create the directories yourself. That is on your web server, not in actinic.

actinic used to work.

cannot seem to run v7 on plesk 8.3
i have other clients with the same program version on my dedicated server with similar issues

Network Setting Issues with V7 from a new community member... Is this a wind up?

You need to ftp to your server and create the directories manually as Duncan has mentioned and Lee as reiterated.

Maybe I'll have more luck.

What are your permissions set to?

folders

the cgi-bin and actinic folders were created years ago.
This problem only recently occured when i upgraded to a new dedicated server from 1 and 1

[Mike Hughes]

the cgi-bin and actinic folders were created years ago.

Ok. So have you checked the permissions on the folder?

[Rich Brady]

I get a 403 Forbidden Error on your acatalog folder... Permissions should be 755 or 777

new viewable image

try this. perhaps its more readable

Clive you have been asked by several people whether or not you have the appropriate folders on your server and what the permissions have been set to. Why don't you answer these questions?
