Re Installing V4 onto a new Host.

[vulcan903]

I am not the best computer tech!

I have changed hosts and re installing V4. All is well with the wizard, but i come a cropper when i come to this:

"Once the wizard logs in to your server, it needs to know how to get to the cgi-bin and web root directories. The cgi-bin directory is the directory where CGI scripts are stored. Cgi-bin directories typically have names like "cgi-bin", "cgi", etc. The web root directory is the directory where your web files are stored. The view on the left hand side is a view of your FTP server's directories. Please select the cgi-bin and press the ">>" button to copy the directory name into the CGI-BIN directory field. Please do the same for the web root directory. If you want to refresh a directory listing, please close it and then re-open it. If you know the directories already, you can type them directly into the text boxes. Your catalog files will be stored in a sub-directory of your web root directory called "acatalog".

I should be typing something in both the cgi dir and web root fields but do not know.

This is just the begining no doubt and I will be back when wizard get to the Pearl check!

Hi

I should be typing something in both the cgi dir and web root fields but do not know.

If you look at the directory listing on the right you should find a folder called Cgi-bin or something similar. Select this folder by clicking on it and then press the first >> button this should populate the area under the heading CGI-BIN directory. Similarly to choose the web root directory(it usualy is the directory with a "/" symbol beside it) select the directory and click the second >> button and this should populate the area under the heading Web Root Directory.

I am also attaching a screen grab to clarify my point .

Hope this helps

Sorry to be a pain, but if you are trying to use the version 4 configuration wizard forget it now, you are wasting your time it will never complete.
There used to be a particular server check carried out by the v4 wizard that falls foul of measures taken to protect servers against viruses.
Your best bet, is to download a trial version of v7, use the wizard in that then when that is complete, export the settings and import them into the 'Network Setup' box of v4.
