123-Reg

[MDS]

Hi all

Really really struggling to upload to 123

Have done everything suggested I could find in past posts, and followed the Actinic knowledge base to no avail.

There does seem to be a difference of opinions to the directory tree, depending on how I do it, there are errors to either root directory, or cgi-bin.

If anyone could confirm directory structure, and setting I would be really gratefull

Thanks

Mick

Hi,

The directory structure on the server should ideally be..

Root Folder - usually www /
Within the Root folder you should have an 'acatalog' and a 'cgi-bin' folder.

Permissions on these folders need to be as follows..

'acatalog' folder : 'Read', 'Write' and 'Execute' for all ( Owner, Group and Public), in other words permissions of '777'

'cgi-bin' folder : 'Read', 'Write', 'Execute' for Owner,
'Read' and 'Execute' for Group and Public, in other words permissions of '755'

A sample of the contents of a Network Setup File ( You can copy an dpaste this bit into a notepad and then import into Actinic.

To get the settings you will require please look for a file 'Mail2hst.txt' in C:\Program Files\Actinic v7\ . Mail this over to your Hosting company and based on the replies, you should be able to get the settings you require to upload your site.

Hope this helps,

123 reg packages do not come with a cgi-bin so you have to create one. It took me several attempts to get Actinic to load the first time I used 123, but once on it works ok.

Thanks both, apologies for the late reply.

It did work eventually, but then stopped

Changed the cgi script number & it worked again.

What a disaster, intended to use just to try out a new theme, and ended up uploading to my existing site

Ah well
