Title: Images are broken.
Post by brookstech on 04/26/04 at 14:57:52

My Item images and Icons will not display.

It appears thta the "img_url" and the "img_dir" are giving two differant paths.

here is the code from the script:

$config{'img_url'} = "http://$ENV{'HTTP_HOST'}/$config{'html_dir'}/img_upload";

$config{'img_dir'} = "$config{'html_path'}/img_upload";

Here are the results:

img_url:
http://mywebsite/eAuction/img_upload/

Img_dir:
/cgi-bin/eauction161/eauction.pleAuction/img_upload/

the reason why the image does not appear is obvious, but I don't know how to correct this issue.

Anyone have any ideas?

Your basepath is not OK!

Check data of eConfig161.pl

Alrighty,

I ran a basepath finding script and it told me my basepath is

C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs

How do I set this up in the config file?

All I get when I put in my correct basepath is:

Error

No such file or directory

I'm so confused...

my new basepath is:
/abyss/htdocs

??

Your problem:
cgi-bin is a sub-directory of htdocs (and that is not a good idea)

Soluten:
Step 1

Code:

# The Path to a 'NON-WEBACCESSABLE' directory of your system
# Maybe you have to chmode it if you use your own setting

$config{'get_path'} = 0; # Set this from 1 to 0 if you want to use your own setting
$config{'basepath'} = '/abyss/htdocs/cgi-bin/eAuction_161';

but I think you are running a win system so you have to set the full path.
For example:
$config{'basepath'} = 'c:/Program Files/abyss/htdocs/cgi-bin/eAuction_161';
or
$config{'basepath'} = 'c:/Program Files/Abyss Web Server/htdocs/cgi-bin/eAuction_161';

Step 2
- Search eAuction.pl for sub get_path
- search sub get_path for the line
$config{'basepath'} .= $config{'auction_dir'};
and set # as the first char of this line.
#$config{'basepath'} .= $config{'auction_dir'};

Hmmm,

I tried everything you suggested and it still give me:

Error

No such file or directory

Is there a directory structure that is required by eAuction?

Example of mine:

Cgi-bin
==>eauction_161
====>all my eauction scripts

htdocs
==>eauction161
====>contains my index.html file that calls my script

When I let the program set my basepath for me, it puts the folders and files in the CGI-BIN directory with the rest of the scripts...but when I try to set my own, nothing works.

I use this to call the script:


any ideas?

Sorry ...
but because I don't know your server-configuration, I can't help.

Thats okay...

Is there a perl command that can copy or move files from one place to another on my server? or is there a way to shell to a program that can do it for me?

for now, I am done trying to get the directorys to match...if I can just move the files after "post" has be pushed all will be fine

The Perl syntax for moving a file is:
rename "$old_path/$file", "$new_path/$file";
