Defining a Site in Actinic

[welshmike]

Your web server is not configured to accept POSTs to CGI scripts.

How can I make sure it's configured to accept POSTs?

As I have virtual hosts setup would I need to set a ScriptAlias for each virtual host?

[welshmike]

Ok now, this is weird.

Have uploaded with less errors (in upload process than before) and the site seems to be functioning!!

But when I test the connection, it still says I cant respond to POSTs.

[welshmike]

Oops. Getting POST error on download too.

I'm pretty confident this is somehow a Linux problem.

[welshmike]

Have actinic support looking into this problem currently.

Will post any findings in case it will help future users.

Hi there,

Does anybody know of an existing checklist of a server setup? Things I should be checking to ensure it will run properly?

There are server setup instructions in the Advanced User Guide...

[welshmike]

Thanks.

The specific requirements for Actinic to run successfully are as follows:
1. A UNIX or Windows NT system running a web server.
2. The web server must support POSTs and GETs to CGI scripts implemented in Perl
3. Perl 5.004 or greater must be installed on the server

What I really need to know, is how to get number 2 working. Check out the site www.welshaspie.co.uk all the mechanics work fine.

Everywhere I look, documents say to make sure POSTs are supported, but I can't find anywhere that says what to do to :-

A : Find out if they are supported/meant to be supported on Fedora Core, or

B : To turn them on, if in fact possible.

I am running Perl v. 5.8.8-10

I probably dont deserve any help for being so thick.

Mike.

Hi again,

I was wondering if the router settings such as UPnP could be effecting this?

Thanks

Mike,

If you read page 153 of the Advanced Users Guide you will see examples of how to create the 'cgi-bin perl association' by assigning the appropriate 'GET, HEAD, POST' verbs.

Kind regards,

Bruce do not know what AUG you have but page 153 is no good for linux servers?

Darren,

That specific bit is for IIS servers, but the assigning of values/verbs to the .pl or .cgi script is not very different. This bit is best done by the hosting company unless the person doing it knows what they are doing. I am sure I could get some *nix related info if I googled it but....

I understand but was not sure if you missed it that was all

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the further suggestions, I have solved the problem. And in true forum support fashion I shall tell you how I did it. I am using VSFTP on my linux server, and by default ASCII uploads are disabled. I enabled this and ét voila. Functioning! I hope this helps many others!

Thanks for your support, I shall pop in from time to time.

Mike..

Thank you Mike, much appreciated.

Kind regards,
