Title: Some questions after install on WinXP
Post by cougar694u on 04/11/05 at 22:57:20

Im very impressed with this script. I'm going to be using it in a car forum.

Anyway, I'm currently testing this on a WinXP system with IIS 5. It's up and running, however, I get this when I go to the eauction.pl:
http://www.2kmotors.com/luke/pics/eauctions/eAuction161.jpg

I didn't change anything in the config.pl, just left it alone. Any suggestions?

IIS's directory is c:\inetpub\wwwroot\, and I created eauction161 in there (c:\inetpub\wwwroot\eauction161) as you can see in the browser's address field.

As you can also see, I tried searching before posting ;D

What else can I try?

Hi - I'm new at this too. I suggest that you go back and check how you configured your file. Make sure that there are no added characters. The concantination indicates that there seems to be a default item that is receiving text from the configuration file. I think the problem might be with the forward slash. - Good Luck...Ronnie

The 'prereg' error will disappear as soon as you register a user.
The other errors - hmmm - no idea yet ...
but I developed the script under WinXP.

Adding a user took care of the errors. I'm no longer seeing any errors on the first page. Thanks!

I've created 3 test users and added some listings. Everything appears great, but I cannot upload pictures. I click the browse button and locate a file, but it doesn't show up in the preview, nor does it show up when it's posted.

The files are on the server, but for some reason they don't come up. I deleted them (for what reason, I dunno) and now I get an error when I go to any of the pages that says:
Error
Server-Overload

**EDIT**
eAuction created the following folder:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\eAuction161\eauction.pleAuction

In there is a folder 'img_upload', which is where the pictures are actually located.

When I look at the properties of the picture that's missing, it's looking here:
http://localhost/eAuction/img_upload, which should be: http://localhost/eAuction161/eauction.pleAuction/img_upload

This path/directory is okey
http://localhost/eAuction/img_upload

Please, post this part of your eConfig161.pl

Code:

#-#############################################
# Config-Section-01
#-#############################################

# The name of your servers cgi-bin directory
$config{'cgi_dir'} = 'cgi-bin'; # 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'} = '/Your/Basepath';

# 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'} = '/Your/Path/To/sendmail'; # no additional options please

# or Configure your MAIL HOST (SMTP)
#$config{'mailhost'} = 'http://YourSMTP-Host';

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

Config looks good.

Save this code as dump.pl, run it and let me know the output.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI qw/:standard/;

print header,
start_html,
h2("Parameter:"), CGI::as_string(),
h2("Environment:"),
(map { p("$_ => $ENV{$_}") } sort keys %ENV),
end_html;

Either you stored dump.pl into the wrong directory or your server setup is not OK.

PATH_INFO => /cgi-bin/eAuction161/dump.pl
SCRIPT_NAME => /cgi-bin/eAuction161/dump.pl

would be right.

I just created the folder 'eAuction161' in the wwwroot directory. There is no cgi-bin directory in the windows setup. I copied the dump.pl into the eAuction161 directory, the path is http://localhost/eAuction161/dump.pl or http://localhost/eAuction161/eauction.pl

If there is no cgi-bin directory then you have to create it.

#-#############################################
# Config-Section-01
#-#############################################

# The name of your servers cgi-bin directory
$config{'cgi_dir'} = 'cgi-bin'; # Default for most servers

Okay, I created the cgi-bin directory, and created eAuction161 under it and put the files in there. Everything appears to be working, except that camera.gif was not include, no big deal, I copied eGays...
