script permissions and upload errors

[Donna]

I am having some problems (actually i've been at this for 2 days now) uploading a site that until recently worked fine..

I understand the permissions for the cgi-bin needs to set to 755, does this also mean that the files within should also have the same permissions?

The error i am receiving is as follows:
an error occurred sending a http request to the server

I am hosting with Clara and my network settings are:
HTTPPROXYMODE 0
HTTPPROXYADDRESS localhost
HTTPPROXYPORT 80
HTTPPROXYUSER MyHTTPProxyUser
HTTPPROXYPASSWORD MyHTTPProxyPassword
FTPPROXYMODE 1
FTPPROXYADDRESS farhost

I have scoured the forum and could not find anything like this relating to clara.
Thanks in advance.

This can't be right surely?

PATHFROMCGITOCATALOG /public/www/cgi-bin/acatalog/

You are saying that the acatalog is within the cgi-bin and then you are saying above it that they sit on the same level? If it did sit within the cgi-bin, you certainly wouldn't have that path to it.

CATALOGURL http://www.xxx.co.uk/acatalog/
CGIBINURL http://www.xxx.co.uk/cgi-bin/

Thanks Lee
Of course; even with it set as ../acatalog/ still getting the same error.
I'm still optimistic that tiredness etc and looking at it too long means I have made a silly, simple to recitify mistake. I'll be embarrassed but the bloody thing will be working!

Donna,

Try using

PATHFROMCGITOCATALOG ../acatalog/

and
FTPPATHFROMCGITOCATALOG /public/www/acatalog/

PATHTOCGIBIN /public/www/cgi-bin/

Kind regards,
