Apache on XP pro - 501 Method not implemented

[alexwren]

Hi,

I have recently installed Apache 2 onto my XP Pro box, installed Perl 5.8 and Serv-U ftp server. I am using Actinic Business and getting a weird and now slightly annoying error whe I preform a network settings test. I am trying to use my own machine for testing for speed purposes.

"The web server returned an unexpected error. The server response was 501 - Not Implemented. Run Web | Configure Web Site Details... to review your web site configuration."

Followed by

"The web server returned error code 501 - Method not implemented. Your web server is not configured to accept POSTs to CGI scripts. Contact your ISP or system administrator and have them reconfigure the server."

Serv-U ftp Dir access

- C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs RWADELCRI
- C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\cgi-bin RWADELCRI

Actinic Network settings

My Apache setting file is attached.

Is this something to do with NTFS permissions as XP does not seem to have the same security permissions options as you older documentation talks about?

OK all sorted!

If anyone is installing Apache on Windows don't use the personal mode as it uses port 8080 and Actinic is not to keen on this.
