The 'FTP Options' button in 'Web | Network Setup' is activated when you select 'Enhanced FTP'.
The window that appears when you click it provides some extra upload (FTP) options that are useful for dealing any problems you might be experiencing when uploading to the web.
The fields within this area are described below:
|
Field |
Meaning |
|
Client Timeout |
The length of time (in milliseconds) that Actinic will stay inactive for during an upload before it warns you that the connection has timed out. |
|
Connection Timeout |
The length of time (in milliseconds) that Actinic will keep an inactive connection alive for before closing it. |
|
Silent Running Enabled |
'Silent Running' allows you to re-try an upload automatically when it times out for any reason. |
|
Maximum Retries |
The amount of times Actinic will automatically re-try the upload before warning you that it has failed. |
|
Retry Delay |
The amount of time (in milliseconds) that Actinic will wait for before automatically re-trying an upload. |
The 'Cart Options' button in 'Web | Network Setup' allows you to change how Actinic creates and uses the online session files (*.session) and order files (*.ord). These files are created and managed by the online scripts, and normally run without problems. Occasionally, however, a web server may object to the files, or may insist on creating them with the wrong permissions online. In this case, the 'Cart Options' window may provide some options.
The fields within this window are explained below:
|
Field |
Meaning |
|
Use Standard Settings |
If you leave this box selected, then the session and order files created by the scripts online will be created in the 'acatalog' folder and they will have standard permissions. Only de-select this box an edit the settings if you are having problems with these files having their permissions 'locked'. |
|
Cart Locked Permission |
This field controls the alternate permissions of session and order files. This value must be specified in form of xxxx (e.g. 0755). Once it is defined the session and order files will use this permission instead of the default '0200'. This permission only applies to the locked state of the files i.e. the status when the scripts are not doing any operation on the given file. |
|
Cart Unlocked Permission |
Same as the 'Cart Locked Permissions' but this variable controls the permission of the files in their unlocked state i.e. the status when the file is free for modification (when the Actinic scripts are doing a read/write operation on them). |
|
Path To Cart Files |
This field controls the alternate path to the session and order files. The path can be either absolute or relative to the 'CGI-BIN'. Note that the folder you refer to will not be created by Actinic, therefore it should either already exist or it should be created manually. This folder can even be outside the web server's scope if the server configuration doesn't restrict CGI activity outside the web space. This value must include a training slash '/' at the end of the path e.g. '../acatalog/myfolder/', '../myfolder/', '../../myfolder/' etc. |
If you choose to create the order and session files in a folder other than 'acatalog', then you must manually create the new folder on the server. Otherwise you will receive an error similar to the following:
