After uploading my site on Saturday,

And apart from the errors in gave me, now I can't even get past the "Path to cgi-bin" check message given

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

Strange thing is this are the same settings I used to upload my site on Saturday, which gave the following errors below, but I was able to upload my site.

Then this morning I was able to run my scripts perfectly, which my hosting provider said the edited.

Now I am unable to even upload or write to the remote web site please refer to error message in blue..

I think you should also contact your host again. The message you're seeing seems to be still related to folder permisisons.

[OJ Owens]

Thanks Drounding,

I will check and post my results as soon as possible...

Cheers

I found the problem to my error, to which I was not able to upload to my remote site, it was because of the firewall permissions set in my network. After adjusting my firewall settings, I was able to get through, but I still get this message which is troubling me...

Hi,

The errors you are getting are because you do not have sufficient permissions on the 'acatalog' folder. The permissions need to be '777' or read, write and execute for all users.

During the test, Actinic creates the 'acatalog' folder ( if it soes not exist on the server) and a sub folder called 'DD' within the 'acatalog' for digital download files, the errros are because Actinic is not cannot create these.

Kind regards

[OJ Owens]

Thansk Bruce,

I will check on the permissions of my folders..and post my results...

Hi Bruce,

The folder permissions have been set at Modify, for both my cgi-bin and acatalog. The DD folder in the acatalog also is set to Modify.

But I am still getting this error

Jonathan,

If you have a copy of the Advanced Users Guide available, take a look on Page's 167, 168 & 169 for how to set NTFS permissions for an IIS server.

Kind regards,

[OJ Owens]

Hi Bruce,

The Advanced User Guide I have goes up to Page 137. So is there an updated guide out?

I will check for it..

Thanks
Jonathan
