Error With Cgi-bin

[Duncan Rounding]

That could be the case - not sure if it may also create problems with cookies.

Ok, I will investigate other hosts- my only issue is that if I host on Xcalibre it costs me nada (I have a reseller account with a set montly fee for unlimited sites) and im a bit of a tightwad!
Thanks for the help guys

[leehack]

and im a bit of a tightwad!

You'll need a site that works and takes money then you tight sod lol. Leave your actinic sites with webfusion.

Just been and checked the webfusion offerings...I notice that they try to charge £275 for Actinic catalog on the fusion business package ...am i right in assuming that I dont have to use their software and can just install the site using designer and then give catalog (which I will buy from Actinic) to my client when site is built- also are there any issues if I just buy the fusion professional (linux) package (which doesn't offer Actinic)? I really don't want to get another reseller account with them (it took me 4 months to stop them taking money from my credit card for non existant domains/accounts)

[Duncan Rounding]

You shouldn't need any software from the host.
Yes, you can design with Designer and sell a Client to your customer if they don't wish to maintain the design of the site afterwards.

I can't speak for the different packages at webfusion though but I would expect the pro package would be ok.

[leehack]

For some inexplicable reason they are selling V7, OMG please tell me someone isn't trying to clear out an old desk drawer.

If you have developer, you can give your customer the client or catalog or busines version, in rough terms that's £200, £470 or £900 in that order. There are more expensive options also.

[meden]

Yes, I have developer so I guess I'll bite the bullet and head back to webfusion.
Thanks for the top quality advice folks, I anticipate becoming pretty involved with the forum as I move away from Cubecart shopping carts.

just to update the thread I finally plumped for a Webfusion VPS2.0 value package and all seems straightforward and easy to use so far as regards Actinic...this package will allow upto 30 domains to be hosted for a fee of £15per month.

Hi everyone
I keep getting the following message when I try to upload to my site.

You do not have write permissions to the cgi-bin directory "/cgi-bin/" or it does not exist.

The directory DOES exist
The path, as far as I can tell, is correct

Any suggestions appreciated
Regards
Lloyd Hollins

Lloyd, it would help to know who your host is, please

[Darren B]

Lloyd you also need to make sure the cgi-bin permissions are 755

[Darren B]

The path may not be correct, as Tracey said what is your host, maybe the path should be /nostalgiaclassics.com/cgi-bin/

Just a suggestion

Error accessing the cgi-bin.

Possible Cause:

web site details in
the Business Settings
Recommendation:

In order to assist you with any upload or network issues, there are a number of things we will need to know in order to fully help you. Please ensure you provide an answer to each of the following questions:

Who is your host? fasthosts
Is it unix or windows hosting? I think its LINUX
Is the permission on the cgi-bin set to 755? i dont know where to find this out
Is the permission on the acatalog folder set to 777? ditto
Is this your first upload? Has it worked in the past? been working ok for 2 years
Have you compacted the database in the housekeeping menu? not that Im aware off
Have you changed the cgi number in network setup and tried to reupload? not sure how to do this
Have you run the network wizard? what was the result? it stalls at "an error occurred when sending an http request" as Im at the last part of the wizard. The part where it checks email address etc

here are the network settings..
