    cgi-bin error

    I wonder can anyone help with this. My site was working fine until i accidentally deleted the cgi-bin directory from within IIS. The CGI scripts have not worked since re-introducing the cgi-bin virtual directory.

    I refreshed the site and it uploads the files to the correct directories. However when i run the 'Test' button in 'Network Settings' i get the error message below. It seems as if Actinic thinks the cgi-bin directory is the home directory.

    The directory specified as the path from the CGI-BIN to the acatalog directory does not exist on the web server. Check the path. Also see the on-line help for "Path from FTP server to Catalog".
    I'm hosting on a MS Windows Server 2003.

    Current network settings are

    HTTPPROXYADDRESS

    Problem resolved after all that it was something i overlooked - my cgi-bin under IIS wasn't a virtual directory
