    This is long overdue but here they are, the correct Webfusion Ubuntu Linux Vps Working Settings

    A few notes :

    (1)
    first is that you have to have the whole site running under SSL or not at all, the "Checkout and Login" pages only setting does not work. This email quote is from a very helpfull chap at actinic when i was trying to set it up using the afore mentioned method

    "However the problem that you see with the SSL settings is somewhat harder to resolve.

    The problem is that the both the normal and secure URLs must point to the same directory i.e. : -

    http://www.yourdomain.com/acatalog/

    and

    https://www.yourdomain.com/acatalog/

    must both point to the acatalog directory at: -

    httpdocs/acatalog/

    in the same way that both the normal and secure URLs for the CGI-BIN point to the same directory.

    Unfortunately this is a showstopper, the SSL side of the software will not work unless this condition is met.

    Having said that, this only refers to when the software is running with SSL 'on checkout and customer login only', if the whole site is run under SSL, you can upload everything to the httpsdocs directory and it will operate.

    Because of this I would recommend purchasing your own dedicated SSL certificate (if you plan on running your site with SSL Enabled) to save problems, as the plesk SSL certificate is for plesk NOT your site unfortunatly, and you will get constant "Certificate Does Not Match The Site" type error Messages.

    (3)
    The cgi-bin must be 755 permissions during upload`s etc or the script tests will fail. this is because the server is configured not to let scripts run under 777 permissions due to security risks.

    (4)
    The webfusion support people are damn useless so dont expect to much if you need to call them. (They asked me to post a technical support question in laymens terms !?)

    Anyway enough rambling by me, heres the settings:

    HTTPPROXYMODE 0
    HTTPPROXYADDRESS
    HTTPPROXYPORT 80
    HTTPPROXYUSER
    HTTPPROXYPASSWORD
    FTPPROXYMODE 0
    FTPPROXYADDRESS
    FTPPROXYPORT 21
    FTPPROXYUSER
    FTPPROXYPASSWORD
    SCRIPTID 1
    SCRIPTEXT .pl
    SMTPHOST ????? havent worked this out yet ???????

    FTPCLIENTTIMEOUT 15000

    SSLFTPUSERNAME xxxxxxxxxx
    SSLFTPPASSWORD xxxxxx
    SSLPATHTOCGIBIN /cgi-bin/
    SSLUSEPASSIVEFTP false

    Hope this helps. If you have any questions about this please feel free to email me at bilymunroe@yahoo.co.uk . (please remeber im doing this "of my own back" so if your offensive ill just ignore you)

    I havnt worked out the smpt settings for the horde mailbox yet so your on your own on that one, however if anybody manages to work it out could you please post the settings underneath this thread for the benefit of others.

    Thanks to actinic for a great product and there great support team, the whole support community, without you guys and gals our site would still be in production.

    Kind Regards

    Try setting it to localhost with usename and password set to blank. This seems to fix the problem most of the time!!!

      Re: Post Webfusion Ubuntu Linux Vps Working Settings

      Hi

      I just noticed your thread after posting a new thread earlier on today, regarding a scripting error I am getting when clicking on the 'checkout' link when the shopping cart is empty. (Please see my thread today for more information).
      Anyway I was interested in your thread as I am also using a Ubuntu Linux Vps server from Webfusion and have also found their technical support useless.

      You can actually place orders on my site, however I just don't know why I'm getting the script error when clicking on the 'checkout' link when the cart is empty, I was wondering if you might be able to advise?
      I think I have the correct settings, also my site only reverts to https when it goes to the payment section via Worldpays' third party site, so I haven't enabled SSL as I thought this wasn't necessary when you're using a third party payment site, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

      Any help would be appreciated.

      Thanks

      Jojo

        Unfortunatly this is a little above my knowledge level, it wouldn't suprise me in the least if it had something to do with pipex or there server though given the number of issues we have had. the only thing i could think of trying would be to enable SSL for the whole site or on the checkout & login pages only to see if that solves the problem. To put it fairly un-technically it may "jog" the site into working.

          Hi

          I don't use the login function on the site, the site does actually work with regards to placing orders etc, but I don't understand why I'm getting the script error when there's nothing in the cart? If you click on 'View Cart' when there's nothing in the cart I don't get an error, just the 'Checkout' link is causing the problem.
          Thanks for your advice anyway.
