website not working properly after Server Move

[Stevet]

Hi Everybody

I have run into problems after moving my website at http://www.ultimastore.co.uk from a windows server 2003 to a Windows Server 2008.

When I upload the website, it gets right to the end but then I get error message: "an error occurred while sending the merge request”.

After contacting Support, I was advised to refresh the website, configure the website details, do a website purge and refresh, but I still run into error messages such as:

"Actinic is not able to run the CGI scripts on the server. It appears as if the scripts are not installed. The most likely cause is that you have an incorrect CGI-BIN URL. If you've never uploaded the site, then you should do it before a download of orders. If you've uploaded the site ever, then Run Web | Configure Web Site Details... to review your web site configuration."

followed by

The web server returned error code 404 - Requested URL not found. This means Actinic can not execute the CGI scripts on your web site. Run Web | Configure Web Site Details... to check the web setup.


I think the 404 error tells me that something is wrong in my settings and that it is not anything to do with security on the new server, We are an ISP so the servers are ours and not an internet company like 1and1 etc. I have checked the settings and cannot see anything wrong.

Configuration details are as follows:

Any advice greatly appreciated.

you need to check the permissions of the cgi-bin and acatalog folder 755 & 777

[Stevet]

Yes, permissions were checked, with the website folder, CGI-bin and acatalog folder haviving full control ticked but did not resolve anything

Is this really the case for a Windows server?
PATHTOPERL /usr/bin/perl
