Thanks Norman,

I will try those settings and see if that helps me out.

Just out of interest, has your linux server got the Perl Standard module installed?

I just want to rule out whether this is a Perl Issue or a settings issue.

Thanks

Hi Drounding/norman, i have carried out the instructions that you posted in the following thread...

http://community.actinic.com/showthr...ght=1and1+perl

but when i run the wizard, it struggles to find the cgi-bin advising that the URL is not correct.

I have also tried running the basic hello.pl script to to test my perl installation and i get an internal server error message so i think that something is clearly wrong with my perl setup or the way that 1and1 servers are setup nowadays. Instructions i found were in this thread..

I have a dedicated linux box running centos5 64bit and I simply create a new customer, with a domain and an ftp account and then try and test network settings with actinic. it should work straight away. At least it does with my windows server with 1and1!!

Im wondering whether new 1and1 packages are struggling with actinic now. I have had my windows server for 3 years and actinic has worked perfect every time! Now i get a linux server, i cannot get this working!

Any more help / advice appreciated. DO you know of another linux host I can use?

Why not try to get simple "Hello World" Perl script to run from within your cgi-bin. Google for the code if you don't know Perl. Once that's running you'll have a better idea what settings are needed for Perl.

Thanks for all your input in to this everyone.

in the end i got so fed up, I re-imaged my server, and all is working!

I must have screwed something up somewhere.

Now i just need to figure out how to upload this massive website (34,000 files) without it erroring.

even using my massive internet pipe at work is struggling!

Oh well.
