cgi issues with uploaded site

[Kev Challis]

This one is still wrong:

PATHFROMCGITOCATALOG ../cgi-bin/acatalog/

It should be ../acatalog/

Mike

When I do that, I get this error message:

An error occurred trying to create the the sub directory "acatalog" on the website

This is usually due to user permissions, but could be due to low disk space on the web server

550 create directory operation failed

Any idea on how to get around that?

thanks

Have you searched the forum for webfusion settings, they have been posted before by Mal who uses them a lot of the time. Just copy them, you know they work.

[Kev Challis]

ahh right ok, I will do a quick search and see if I can find them.

EDIT: is the username just mal? as I can't find any posts made by mal

is this what I need ? http://community.actinic.com/showthr...usion+settings

The settings should be what you've got now. Although it's worth checking as I think your smtp settings might need some work.

You need to make sure your acatalog directory has permissons set to 755 (or 777 if that doesn't work).

yeah I haven't looked at the SMTP settings yet. Also how do I change the permissions to the acatalog directory, sorry this is a big learning curve for me and I'm learning it as I go, my first go at using actinic to create a site.

found the thread by RuralWeb

To change permissions, ftp into your site using an ftp program such as aceftp, cuteftp etc. Then right-click on a directory and select properties (or similar). Then tick the boxes to give every user all the privileges and that's set to 777.

thanks a lot, will change that shortly.
