Title: What´s this?
Post by Millvi on 08/16/04 at 15:42:44

I get this message, what does it mean??:

That means:
you changed the predefined banners in a wrong way ...

Title: Re: What´s this?
Post by Millvi on 08/16/04 at 18:30:08

Thats interesting :)
I haven´t changed anything. What banner do you mean?

sub get_banner
is a part of eConfig161.pl

Post by Millvi on 08/17/04 at 06:58:02

I haven´t changed anything with the predifened banners, so I don´t understand what to do to make it right. I found the sub get_banner in eConfig161 but as I said I have never touched these lines of the script.
What is wrong?
I really hope that I will get this script working because I like very much what I have seen in the demo. A donation is sure to come your way if you can solve this for me ;)

Try this:

Search the script for this line:

Code:

require "eConfig161.pl"; # Config File

and add the path to the require statement

Code:

require "C:/home/barnsidan/www/cgi-bin/eAuction161/eConfig161.pl";

Title: Re: What´s this?
Post by Millvi on 08/17/04 at 09:43:44

I tried like this:

Code:

#-#############################################
# Require-Section
#-#############################################
eval {
require "C:/home/barnsidan/www/cgi-bin/eAuction161/eConfig161.pl"; # Config File
#require "af102_eA_plugin.pl"; # Not available yet
};

I´m afraid it didn´t work. Am I doing something wrong?

There is no buy_it.gif
BuyItNow is just a formatted (and colored) text.

Loading twice? Where do I change that?
I´m sorry för harassing you but I would really like to get this script to work.

By the way. When a test to post an item I get server-overload, and I don't get any confirmation e-mails eventhough I have entered a smtp-host

Title: Re: What´s this?
Post by Forum Admin on 08/17/04 at 11:59:13

send the files as a single zip-file via email and I will review it

Edit: the test-routine is running fine - I did it :)

Now everything works fine until I want to post a new item. The preview works, but when I accept and post the item I get "server-overload" on every page that is supposed to show my item.

I also get messages like this at the bottom of some pages:

You are on your local server
so this is just for testing

There were no bids on your item.
You may repost your item by using the closed auction manager at

Thanks for using eAuction

What´s this?
And I still don´t get any e-mails to be sent. Do I have to change something so it works as it should?

A lot of questions and I hope you can help me.

Title: Re: What´s this?
Post by Millvi on 08/18/04 at 11:12:38

I get server-overload when I post an item with a picture. Without a picture it works fine.

What´s this?

See eConfig161.pl
# Set this from 0 to 1 if the script is running with a real Web-Server
$config{'web_server'} = 0;

Wrong path (upload directory)?
Check whether the directory exists.

In order to get 'more specific' error messages:
Open eAuction.pl
and uncomment this line:

# oops("$@<br>$!<br>") if $@; # Only for testing the code

Title: Re: What´s this?
Post by Millvi on 08/18/04 at 12:33:46

I have tried both 0 and 1 and i get the same result.

Title: Re: What´s this?
Post by Millvi on 08/18/04 at 12:38:02

The path to img_upload is right because the picture is showing in preview and it´s uploaded.

I get this message:

Not a SCALAR reference at C:\home\barnsidan\www\cgi-bin\eAuction161\eAuction.pl line 5020.
No such file or directory

The right settings are:

Code:

# You need to assign either a mail program or
# a mail host so e-mails can be sent out.
# Configure your MAIL PROGRAM

$config{'get_mail'} = 0; # Set this from 1 to 0 if you want to use your own setting
#$config{'mailprog'} = '/Your/Path/To/sendmail'; # no additional options please

# or Configure your MAIL HOST (SMTP)
$config{'mailhost'} = 'http://mailrelay.bostream.com';

# Set this from 0 to 1 if the script is running with a real Web-Server
$config{'web_server'} = 1;

Title: Re: What´s this?
Post by Millvi on 08/18/04 at 15:38:34

Nope it doesn´t work! I don´t get the mails and I still get the message:

You are on your local server
so this is just for testing.... and so on

And as long as the problem with uploaded picture persists a can´t use the script. Maybe I have to buy one after all :(

Title: Re: What´s this?
Post by Forum Admin on 08/18/04 at 15:52:17

Sorry
Your path-setup is incorrect and you should ask your provider for the right URL of the SMTP server.

Title: Re: What´s this?
Post by Millvi on 08/18/04 at 16:05:53

It´s probably me that is doing something wrong because now I can´t update an item without getting permission denied.

The problems i growing and I am getting tired of it. I don´t understand why the SMTP isn´t working. It´s the one I use everywhere else except without http://.

I can see in your demo and on the other sites that it´s a really good script but nothing I can use i´m sad to say. I don´t have the knowledge in perl, so I can´t solve this one.

Thank you for your help!!

OK, I might give EADB a try but my ISP has not an DBI-module installed. Is there anyway i can connect to an access-db without DBI?

Ok, I thought so. Then I will leave you in search for an expensive auction-script written in asp :(

Obviously the directory img_upload cannot be found and obviously the SMTP server cannot contacted.

Approximately ++$5,000.00

Title: Re: What´s this?
Post by Millvi on 08/18/04 at 16:31:21

But when I preview an item with an uploaded picture it works fine.

The SMTP-problem can maybe be solved.
But the problem with the message that i´m on a local server seems hard to get rid off.

OK - I can't contact you via eMail, so I have to post what I wrote to you:

The configuration of your server is a nightmare.

I tried different settings but nothing works in a right way because the permissions of your file system are not right.
The server don't allowe the script to write files/content to the auction directories.

Another point is that the SMTP server doesn't response.

Please set the right permissions for your file systems and find out the right URL of your SMTP server.

Fix this and you will be successful with each kind of program you want to install.
