Hi All, I've just created my database and set up FTP for the new platform. I have uploaded my shopping cart software into the cgi-bin folder but when I try to access it via the browser, it's as if there are no files there. My platform web address is http://bestpump.plushost.co.uk/ and I assume that the cgi-bin should be accessed via http://ccgi.bestpump.plushost.co.uk/ but there's nothing there. Please can anyone help? Thanks, Jeff
The cgi-bin is set up to interpret only a limited range of extension types, e.g. .cgi, .pl, and doesn't know what to do with .html. Your .html files need to go in the httpdocs folder. If your site uses .php files, they also go in httpdocs. Gabe
Thanks for your help, Gabe. Now I'm getting somewhere! I've moved the files from cgi-bin to httpdocs and now the files are showing up. My new problem seems to be permissions based. When I run my shopping cart installer, it runs through a checklist successfully until the last item which is "The installation directory must be enabled for writing:". I've set all permissions to 775 and tried 755 but it still fails. Addition: I've set the httpdocs folder and the sub-folder containing the installer to 775 permissions but it still fails. Can anyone help? Regards, Jeff
Another step forward and then another fall! Any idea if I can turn PHP safe mode off? I'm getting this error now: "Unable to extract files Error while opening {file.php} in write binary mode" Jeff
Sadly, no. We're stuck with safe mode until Plus decide to upgrade PAYH to Plesk 9 (or go for an unsupported fix). I've had no reply to my requests that Plus keep the ccgi platform running until they upgrade PAYH. Gabe
