Godaddy FTP/cgi bin problems

[jbarrett]

Hi Guys

We have a delux hosting account on a linux server with Godaddy and we are trying to setup the website details and it goes off and finds the cgi-bin but in the next test failes to move back to the web root from the cgi-bin folder.

we have moved the cgi-bin folder from the root to the public_html folder and tried again and again and this setup test consistantly failes and it complains it cant connect to the server.

We have this site setup on an another providers server and it works perfectly.

We have run out of ideas, any thoughts from you guys please?

Regards
Jerry Barrett

Ok thanks, yes useful, I did that already, unless I'm missing something....

We dont have an economy account???? and we haven't come accross the other problem in that thread because we cant upload anything because it cant traverse the folders properly.

Hardly a useful response considering, Cest La Vie.

Hardly a grateful response considering somebody tried to help you in their own spare time.
Here's 2 useful things you can do:

1. Check that your current hosting package is compatible with Actinic.
2. If they are confirmed compatible, then export your settings and post them here into the forum, so we can show you what you are doing wrong.

Yep, the suggestions above are the best course of action. Perhaps also check if you need to run a dos2unix after upload for the scripts to execute.

Kind regards,

Godaddy seems to have some kind of delay when accessing the cgi folder causing errors in website details setup wizard. iIam using SSL for login and checkout only in the business settings /payment and security tab. enter your info as above and test.

I also asked godaddy to make me a cgi-bin with permissions included on the folder. Renamed the folder to cgi. If all is ok, just click the blue update site.

Hope this helped!
