Title: Regfile Error
Post by Ronnie on 05/01/05 at 00:01:02

I downloaded a fresh copy of the script. Configured it to work with my email/site info. When the script first runs I get an Regfile cannot open error, Use of uninitialized value at .../eAuction161/eConfig161.pl line 742...I'ill go throught the menu options will work one time and a second time l'ill have the same error.

These are the lines (I made no change)
738 ##########################
739 # Edit your Navigation-Bar (if needed)
740 ##########################
741 sub disp_navbar {
742 print <<EO_HTML;

Thanks Ronnie

Hi - Thanks for getting back to me. I've been using the top menu. One time I'ill get the error and the next time it will be O.K. I use catalog (get error), goto Hot items (no error), New items (error), Hot items (error), Help (no error).

The url is:

http://www.momnpopsware.com/cgi-bin/eAuction161/eAuction.pl

The error is:
Error
Regfile: Dieter
could not be opened

Please, contact the
Auction Administrator
if you belive this to be a server problem.

Delete the 'closed' folder ...
or run the 'test' again.

Hi Dieter - Thanks again. I deleted the closed folder and that did not help. Then I reran the test and the same happened. Ronnie

Please, post the content of your sub disp_navbar
and ...
try this: $config{'regdir'} = 'userreg';

Title: Re: Regfile Error
Post by Ronnie on 05/02/05 at 22:13:30

Hi Dieter - I changed the $config{'regdir'} = 'userreg'; and it did not make a difference.

Here is the disp_navbar sub. Thanks again Ronnie

Code:

<td align="center" valign="middle" nowrap>
<a href="$ENV{'SCRIPT_NAME'}?action=creg&lang=$form{'lang'}"><b>$txt{'Chang e Registration'}</b></a>
</td>
<td align="center" valign="middle" nowrap>
<a href="$ENV{'SCRIPT_NAME'}?action=lostdata&lang=$form{'lang'}"><b>$txt{'L ost Alias or Password'}</b></a>
</td>

$txt{'Chang e Registration'}
must be:
$txt{'Change Registration'}

$txt{'L ost Alias or Password'}
must be:
$txt{'Lost Alias or Password'}

It is correct in the script. The program was when I copied the script to paste in the message that when the spaces appeared.

Please, double check your installation - I can't see any scripting-error.
Maybe you changed the content of %txt ?

Thanks...I will check it again this weekend.

Post by Ronnie on 05/09/05 at 22:33:21

I think I found the source of the problem. It seems that once I removed the test files the script worked O.K. I think the problem relates to the individual user .dat files. Thanks again...Ronnie
