Hi all
Firstly, let me apologise as I have a right headache of a situation and hopefully somebody can give me some help, I have already tried everything else I can think of............
I had V7 Catalog, it was working fine and I have had it for years (http://ridethehill.com/acatalog/ShopIndex.html)
Recently my laptop that I used for Actinic died, the hard-drive was fine but I wasn't able to power it up anymore (motherboard I think) so I have purhased a new laptop. I tried to install V7 again but it stopped at 98% due to an error on the disc I have, fortunately I still have V6 so installed that instead.
As the laptop died randomly, I do have a backed up database (and all the site data from the old hard-drive) but I do not have a Snapshot to use.
After some issues with the uploading of the site (after replacing V6's Site1 with my one from the old drive) I managed to get it to start "sending", I did have to delete the cgi-bin data and acatalog data through my ftp first however.
Now, when "sending", I get a message saying - "A server error occurred while attempting to merge server files. 500 - Internal Server Error" - The same is said when I generate website. There seems to be no major issues with the scripting and the both the website settings and connection settings work fine.....
What does this mean and how do I go about sorting this out?
Is it because I am downgrading to V6?
Will buying the newest V11 sort this out, or will it not make it any easier?
and finally........... am I just better off to start over with my site?
I would really appreciate any help you guys can offer, I am a self taugh noob and this has me stumped, I have had 2 weeks of this nightmare! (I will be keeping regular site Snapshots from now on!)
Thanks
Andy
