123 Connect Network Settings

[lockdecoders]

i am having a problem with my actinic 8.5. i am not a great computer boff like a lot of you. my server hoster is 123 connect. and am having problems uploading for the first time to be able to see my website on the web. i can upload but cannot see it. this is i think on a linux server. i have copied and attached the actual network settings that i am trying.
http://whitestar4.lightning1.net or https://84.18.198.45:8443
username: any name
password: any password

i will change the password after i have sorted it out.

I'm confused. Why is the link you have given not the website URL?
(You have not uploaded to that location according to the network settings)

I think your catalog URL may be wrong, try http://www.lock-decoders-shop.com/acatalog.

Run a network test in Actinic and post any errors.

Also it is much easier if you export the network settings to a text file and then post the text file here. (with usernames and passwords removed)

[lockdecoders]

it should read http://www.lockdecoders-shop.com
tried to export as text but it didnt seem to do this.

[pinbrook]

before you ask ask any more , please

1 run the network test requested by Duncan
2 change the catalog URL as requested by Duncan
3 export your settings to txt - this function does work you may have to learn how to do it.
4 provide us with a link to the host's website and tell us what package you bought

[lockdecoders]

1> i cannot export as anything but a type of picture format
2> i have tried the url that was suggested but that is not right.
3>i asked my host for a server that i could run actinic with cgi scripting and he has loaded what you can see here on a linux server. ftp://ftp.lockdecoders-shop.com/

What happens if you click on the export button in network settings then?

[lockdecoders]

it takes me to my pictures and only allows me to save in a picture type format

[leehack]

txt is not a picture format, it is a text format. Export it as a txt file and then open that file outside of actinic. All 'should' become clear.

[pinbrook]

i cannot export as anything but a type of picture format

go to network settings, use the EXPORT button, browse to where you want to save the file, save it and give it a name with an extension of txt.

I'm not going to reply anymore as you clearly aren't acting on the replies given so far

[leehack]

acatolog? come on for heavens sake, take some care with this, it's a very important part.

[Duncan Rounding]

Run the network test and post the errors?
It is easier to initially disable SSL in your network settings.

[lockdecoders]

okay will disable ssl and then run network settings and then post the errors

[lockdecoders]

with no ssl i have no problem. with ssl i have faults. will post without ssl and with ssl.
this is working correct without ssl.
