Looks like you need to set your directory permissions to 755

I am also having the same problem. I have installed the script several times and changed multiple settings but can not get it working. And more ideas?

Yeh i get this as well.
I have gone through the Cmod setting and still no joy.

I know its a free program but some kind of install.txt wouldnt go a miss :) Just with cmod setting and basic setup guide. Good job for a great free script and this is no way a negative thing - just make life a bit easier.

Remember to Cmod the Directory and the files. Ronnie

This looks like a great program. I found this post searching for set up (tried install too, but the one post there was misspelled I found out afterward).

Anyway, I had the same question. I noticed the answer in one of Dieter's posts. He said, read the eauction.pl file. I thought to help out and paste that segment below, as I wouldn't have thought of that, since I think of .pl files as code, and .txt or .doc files for text. Go figure - it cost me a half hour of time. Like they say, ya gotta 'think outside of the box'. Next time!

excerpted from eauction.pl...

INSTALLATION:
# -----------------
# In order to run the program you have to download
# the Config-File (eConfig161.pl) too.
#
# - edit eConfig161.pl and save it
# - save THIS file as eAuction.pl
# - search your server for your cgi-bin directory
# - create a new sub-directory: eAuction161
# - chmod that sub-directory (at least) 755.
#
# - upload
# eAuction.pl
# eConfig161.pl
# to the directory 'eAuction161' (use ASCII-Mode)
#
# - chmod 755 eAuction.pl
# - chmod 644 eConfig161.pl
# - start your browser and type in:
# http://YourDomain/cgi-bin/eAuction161/eAuction.pl
#
# In order to create 'Test-Items'
# - start your browser and type in:
# http://YourDomain/cgi-bin/eAuction161/eAuction.pl?action=test
#
# In order to use the delivered icons (or your own icons)
# - start your FTP-Program again
# - select the directory 'eAuction'
# - select the sub-directory 'auction_pics'
# - upload the pics to this directory (use Binary-Mode)
#
#
# Notice that the script is asking for Perl 5.6.0 (or higher) !!
# I don't know whether it is runable under Perl 5.5.x
#
# Donations for these and for further developments, are welcome warmly.

Hello
I am a reasonably experienced amatuer with perl but, in spite of running through the forums I can not get past this message. Here is my set up (obviously changed slightly for security). I know that I must be doing something stupid but I can't see what.
config is set to 644
eauction.pl and the directory are set to 755
--------------------------------------------------------------------
# The name of your servers cgi-bin directory
$config{'cgi_dir'} = 'cgibin'; # Default for most servers

# The cgi-bin subdirectory where your eAuction.pl will be stored
$config{'auction_dir'} = 'eAuction161';

# 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'} = 1; # Set this from 1 to 0 if you want to use your own setting
$config{'basepath'} = '/secure/g/mysite.com/cgibin/eAuction161';

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

# or Configure your MAIL HOST (SMTP)
# $config{'mailhost'} = 'http://www.mysite.com';
(I have tried with this line commented and uncommented)
# Set this from 0 to 1 if the script is running with a real Web-Server
$config{'web_server'} = 1;

(cgibin is the correct directory for my host.)

If anybody can help I would be very grateful.
Best regards for the weekend

The message:
Permission denied
has been produced by your server.

That means:
you are not permitted to create a directory in the 'non-web-accessable-area' of your server - and that's bad because your auction data should be stored in an 'secure' directory.

Thanks for speedy response but, if you have the time one more question.
Within my cgibin I have many directories (although I created them myself through FTP) and I am running several programmes that read/write to tem, for example classifieds.
I thought the cgibin was a non-web area.
I guess I need to send your reply to my isp and ask for clarification?

Thanks again for your speedy and complete support.
Best regards

The cgi-bin (cgibin) is not in all cases a secure place to store files.
But if you want to use your cgibin directory - it's possible :)
See the content of eConfig161.pl

but don't make me responsible for the security-damage you could get.
