Network wizard upload problem

[carbon-design]

Hi

I'm having a little problem uploading my site to our server.

Firstly I have configured the advanced network setup settings and upon test all is fine.

The settings I have are as follows:

Server Details

Catalog URL: http://www.mydomain.co.uk/acatalog/
CGI-BIN URL: http://www.mydomain.co.uk/cgi-bin/
Codebase: ./
Path from CGI-BIN to acatalog: ../httpdocs/acatalog/

FTP Details

Server Host: ftp.mydomain.co.uk
username: *****
pass: *****
Path to CGI-BIN: ci-bin/
Path to CGI-BIN to acatalog as viewed by ftp server: ../httpdocs/acatalog/

Email Settings

all correct and working.

When I test this configuration all is fine so I proceed to the wizard.

In the wizard I uncheck both boxes. The wizard analyses the website and prompts me for the URL of the website. Firstly is I use the straight address eg. http://www.mydomain.co.uk the wizard reports an error verifying the web server. If I use http://ftp.mydomain.co.uk the wizard explores the directories and logs into my server. Why is this ? The server directory tree is as follows:

/
anonftp
cgi-bin
error_docs
httpdocs
httpsdocs
subdomains
webusers

I then highlight the cgi-bin folder and press the arrow which sends the following to the text area: /cgi-bin

Same for the httpdocs, this shows the following in the text area: /httpdocs

when I press next the following error message occurs: An error occured when sending an HTTP request to the web server. Perhaps your network is down.........

I have spoken to the server admin and my permissions are correct for the directories involved. When viewing the server admin can see a test actinic file being written to https docs but it is then deleted.

With regards to my own setup my settings for firewall are all correct. I can ftp to my server and write to all directories.

Any help is much appreciated, I really need to upload this site for a client as soon as possible. Any information or references with advice on manual upload would be much appreciated for a short term solution but I really would like to resolve this for future clients.

regards

I think that your cgi-bin is wrong.

I.e. you have one outside of the public area (public area being htdocs), but this is not public, so uploading a file via ftp to plain old cgi-bin is not accessible when looking for it under domainname.tld/cgi-bin

Would check that you have a cgi-bin in your htdocs area and then path it to that.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply. I don't have a cgi-bin in my httpdocs so maybe that's my problem.

The cgi-bin was setup by my server admin so I'll check with them.

thank you for your advice
