Title: already closed
Post by ernestb on 08/15/04 at 02:04:43

As I said before This is a great improvement over the old code, but I just can't seem to get it to run.

I am trying to get eAuction.pl runninng on a system with the following;

Operating System Linux
Kernel Version 2.6.7-1-grsec
Apache Version 1.3.31 (Unix)
Perl Version 5.8.3

With items present in all cats I was getting the following eror;

Error
Item: . Category: yourcat07
is already closed

I added
if ($item ne ".." && $item ne ".") {
to the sub get_random_data

orginal code-------
my (
$item, $title, $image, $start_time,
$close_time, $the_bid, @bids
);

opendir THEDIR, "$config{'basepath'}$cat"
or oops("Category $cat could not be opened.");
readdir THEDIR for 0..1;

while (defined($item = readdir THEDIR) and $cnt <= int($disp_max / 2)) {
$item =~ s/\.dat$//;

(
$title,
undef,
undef,
undef,
$image,
$start_time,
$close_time,
undef,
@bids
) = @{read_item_file($cat, $item)};

new code--------
my (
$item, $title, $image, $start_time,
$close_time, $the_bid, @bids
);

opendir THEDIR, "$config{'basepath'}$cat"
or oops("Category $cat could not be opened.");
readdir THEDIR for 0..1;

while (defined($item = readdir THEDIR) and $cnt <= int($disp_max / 2)) {
$item =~ s/\.dat$//;

if ($item ne ".." && $item ne ".") {

(
$title,
undef,
undef,
undef,
$image,
$start_time,
$close_time,
undef,
@bids
) = @{read_item_file($cat, $item)};
};

This solved my problem of trying to open the up dir link but I now have another.

Error
Modification of non-creatable array value attempted, subscript -1 at eAuction.pl line 3706.
Bad file descriptor

line3706 is
$the_bid = (read_bid($bids[-1]))->[2];

Any Ideas?

The demo of eAuction is running the same system.

This line:

Code:

readdir THEDIR for 0..1;

reads the first two entrys of a directory; that means:
the dot and the doubledot entrys.
Therefore the dot and the doubledot files are not a part of the following read-data
You can use your if statement

Code:

if ($item ne ".." && $item ne ".") {

but in this case you have to delete the above mentioned line.

You better should forget the if statement.
This is doing the same:

Code:

opendir THEDIR, "$config{'basepath'}$cat"
or oops("Category $cat could not be opened.");
#readdir THEDIR for 0..1;

while (defined($item = readdir THEDIR) and $cnt <= int($disp_max / 2)) {
next unless $item =~ /\.dat$/;
$item =~ s/\.dat$//;

That means: either the item file is empty or there are no seller/bidder data

FANTASTIC!!! ;)

Adding the lilne

next unless $item =~ /\.dat$/;

solved the problem.

Thanks a lot!
