Our Linux hosted webservers are capable of running Actinic Catalogue, the popular shopping cart software.

Below is a list of general settings that actinic asks when configuring.  This may be of use to you if you need to get it up and running.
It should also be noted that pages with Frames will not display correctly on the secure server - you will need to make sure the design you select has only a single frame layout for the checkout pages. The SSL certificate will not fuction correctly unless the whole page is served from the secured site. With a frames page, this does not happen - the site tries to maintain the navigation menus from the unsecures site when it swiches to the https:// address for the checkout pages.

Standard Settings

Since the site, as viewed through the secure server, cannot call comonents from outside the /public_html/ directory of your webspace, the default /cgi-bin/ directory provided on the same level is no use for running the actinic script from. You will need to create a new directory inside your public_webspace ( /public_html ) directory. For this example, we chose to call this directory /public_html/cgi/ and pointed the cgi code into this as shown below....

Secure Settings

Follow the settings used in this example - just replace "username" and "domain" with your own details...
Please note that you will not have to complete the following items if you have not selected to use the SSL option in the configuration of your Actinic Store.

 With all these settings in place, press Apply, then the Test button to see if you have entered all the details correctly.
 
All that then remains  is to select "Generate Scripts" under the Advanced Button, then select the "Generate Web Site" option and "Send Files", which will publish the pages you have prepared to the site.

Open a browser and go to the Catalog URL as shown in the Standard Settings window above.
You should see the front page of your Actinic Catalog Website
