CGI problem - uploading site for first time

[pyro]

Hi all, please help!

I'm attempting to upload a new website, but I'm getting all sorts of CGI errors.

I am using a multi-site hosting plan from UK2 (Linux). Basically, the site has one master domain (www.automatedblog.co.uk) and several add-on domains, the files for which are located in separate site-specific folders. The site in question is www.tinsignshop.co.uk , and although I have several sites hosted on this account, this is the only actinic installation.

This makes the root for this site, http://www.automatedblog.co.uk/publi...ignshop.co.uk/

The site can still be accessed via a browser, by typing www.tinsignshop.co.uk

Hope the above makes sense...........

When I upload, I get the error message - "cgi scrips not executing on server"

then on completion of upload - "error occurred while sending the merge request".

I've tried using "configure website details" but actinic gets to the part where I specify where perl is installed (my hosting control panel shows a path to perl, so assuming it is installed), and I get an error - "an error occurred while sending an HTTP request to the web server. Perhaps your network is down or the web server is down".

I have full FTP access, and have set folder permissions to 777.

Settings are as follows

HTTPPROXYMODE 0
HTTPPROXYADDRESS
HTTPPROXYPORT 80
HTTPPROXYUSER
HTTPPROXYPASSWORD
FTPPROXYMODE 0
FTPPROXYADDRESS
FTPPROXYPORT 21
FTPPROXYUSER

Dont know if this means anything, but everytime I upload, actinic re-uploads all base files, and many pages on the site (just the default actinic example site) are inaccessible.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Try leaving this blank or using ../acatalog/

Hi,

Thanks for your help with this, but it seems the DNS settings hadnt propagated properly. All sorted now, but thank you for your time.
