Accepting POSTs to CGI scripts

[SarahP]

Hi, can anyone help. I am going round in circles......

My site has been up and running for a while but now I need to enable SSL on the checkout page in order to use a new PSP.

I have enabled this in the business settings and have set up the following network settings:

HTTPPROXYMODE 0
HTTPPROXYADDRESS
HTTPPROXYPORT 80
HTTPPROXYUSER
HTTPPROXYPASSWORD
FTPPROXYMODE 0
FTPPROXYADDRESS
FTPPROXYPORT 21
FTPPROXYUSER
FTPPROXYPASSWORD
SCRIPTID 1
SCRIPTEXT .pl
SMTPHOST smtp host
WEBSITEURL http://www.mysite.co.uk/
IGNOREPASSIVEERRORS true
USERELATIVECGIURLS false
PATHTOPERL /usr/bin/perl
USEENHANCEFTP false
FTPCLIENTTIMEOUT 15000
FTPRETRYDELAY 3000
FTPSILENT false
FTPMAXRETRIES 3
FTPCONNECTTIMEOUT 25000
SMTPAUTHREQUIRED false

SSLCODEBASE ./

CODEBASE ./
FTPHOST ftp host
FTPUSERNAME *****
FTPPASSWORD *****
PATHTOCGIBIN /public/www/cgi-bin/
USEPASSIVEFTP true
FTPPATHFROMCGITOCATALOG /public/www/acatalog/

I have also checked the permissions on cgi-bin and acatalog and these are set to 755 & 777 respectively.

When I test this I get the following messages, has anyone got ant clues ?

From Actinic: Actinic received a bad method error from the web server. The
server is not properly configured to allow Actinic to run CGI scripts from
the cgi-bin.

From the Browser:
Method Not Allowed
The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL
/www.mysite.co.uk/cgi-bin/cp000001.pl.
Apache/1.3.33 Server at clarahost.clara.net Port 443

From Actinic: The web server returned error code 405 - Server does not
support the requested method. Your web server is not configured to accept
POSTs to CGI scripts. Contact your ISP or system administrator and have
them reconfigure the server.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Sarah,

my clara settings which work fine can be found at http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=13759

Get Clara to check that your CGI uploads are enabled for ASCII, as default on some systems is BINARY.

Thanks for your help. The file values that work for Jont did the trick and SSL is now working. Now I've got to get the PSP bit working Its never easy.
