Go to this section

Code:

#-#############################################
# Main Program
#-#############################################
disp_header();

# We are going to catch each server-fault because we are nice.
eval { $event->{$form{'action']->() };

# We hide each server-fault and let the user think whatever; aren't we nice ;-)
# oops("$@<br>$!<br>") if $@; # Only for testing the code
oops($txt{'Server-Overload'}) if $@;

and uncomment this line:

Code:

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

Run the script and let me know the error message that will be displayed.

I get this error message when I uncomment like you said:
No such file or directory at eAuction.pl line 4757.
No such file or directory

Please post the line ...

Title: Re: Server Overload
Post by wflynn on 12/18/04 at 14:32:42

the line reads:

unlink "$config{'basepath'}$form{'ITEM'}_lock.dat" or die $!;

The only place where this code is in use is sub proc_bid.
But that subroutine is far away from line 4757 ...
Please help me to help you.

ok I figured out what caused the confusion. I ftp'd the file in asci so it moved the lines before. Now I re-ftp'd everything in binary and I still have the same problem but now the line numbers will make sense to you:

The line that is causing the problem is 2379

unlink "$config{'basepath'}$form{'ITEM'}_lock.dat" or die $!;

Just thought I would let you know I removed the line and the error goes away? what function did I losing as everything seems to work?

To upload scripts in binary mode is not a good idea.

Ok new to this but the line of code is the one causing the error as the error goes away if I comment it out. I reuploaded it in ascii and did a clean install but still get the error unless I comment out that line. Will commenting it out cause major problems? Is there a workaround? every thing else seems to work great.

You will lose the 'lock function'.
That means:
if two (or more) users bid at the same time, then the item file will crash.

Please, check whether the file $form{'ITEM'}_lock.dat was actually created.
