Title: On the Beta version Post by TickerTapeTrader on 05/26/05 at 11:59:22 Hello Dieter, To begin with I installed version 1.6.1.60 and it worked very well so made it live. In just a couple of weeks it has 21 registrants and a few auction items. Then I made a donation and downloaded your beta version Version 1.6.2.008 (Beta), which is equally impressive and works well. However, I encountered a problem. I noticed that the beta version stores the categories data in a new folder called: categories. Plus, for some reason it suspended all the active registrants. Also, in addition, unlike previous versions where you could wave a hammer and delete abusers through /eAuction.pl?action=admin the beta version has this removed. To cut to the chase, what I really need to know is: (a) How can I convert the current database to the demo version and is their a tool for doing this? (b) How can I get extremely angry and wave a hammer about or an axe so I can crush abusers through the admin controls? rofl. In the meantime, I have had to go back to version 1.6.1.60, which works super and does the job all the same. Thank you for your advice in advance. PS. I did move the categories into the categories folder and though I gave it time in the early hour of the morning all I achieved was this: http://www.exchangetrade.com/cgi-bin/marketplace/xeAuction.pl Whilst, the live version that works well can be located here: http://www.exchangetrade.com/cgi-bin/marketplace/eAuction.pl |

Title: Re: On the Beta version Post by Dieter Werner on 05/26/05 at 16:02:17 That's easy to explain ... - to store the categories in a seperated folder, makes the directory-system more transparent (and sorted) - I added some new (needed) fields to the user.dat, therefore v1.6.2 isn't compatible to v1.6.1 - in the future you will have a converter script - in the future you will have an Admin-Script that contains a lot of useful functions (the 'hammer' you need is included too) ;) - the darned 'Error 2' message is a problem; because I can't reproduce it >:( |

Title: Re: On the Beta version Post by TickerTapeTrader on 05/27/05 at 12:12:49 Thanks Dieter, I can wait ;D. Also puzzled by the error 2 code. Will play around with the installed beta version see if I can improve its installation (when I get the time). In the meatime I shall put my hammer away and keep it finely polished. :D |

Title: Re: On the Beta version Post by Dieter Werner on 05/27/05 at 17:11:17 You can use this as the starting page of your auction (both versions): Code:
Save the code as eAuction.htm (or whatever), upload the page to your web directory and start it by typing http://www.YourDomain/eAuction.htm A page like these would have the following advantages: - it's search engine friendly - you can add meta tags (content, keywords etc.) - it will hide every script URL/command from the address-line of the browser |

Title: Re: On the Beta version Post by Dieter Werner on 05/28/05 at 15:11:37 The above suggestion (starting page) doesn't regard the 'Error 2'. |

As I told you before ... You changed (or added) some data fields - so you lost the consistency of your data files. |

Title: Re: On the Beta version Post by TickerTapeTrader on 07/26/05 at 15:54:11 Hello Dieter, Just wondering when the new version will be taken out of beta plus "in the future you will have a converter script". The old version is working very well so I'm a bit hesitant to move fully to the new version unless a converter script is written and error messages erased. Not in any hurry.... ;D |

Title: Re: On the Beta version Post by Dieter Werner on 07/27/05 at 11:43:35 The current script is stable and therefore I am a little in doubt whether I should publish the new version. There are some people which are just waiting for a bug in my code (in order to put me in the dust). I'm not interested in comments like Joel Holbert has got them for his new version (See: http://www.programmingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=20019) |

Title: Re: On the Beta version Post by TickerTapeTrader on 07/27/05 at 12:03:14 True. The best approach, I suppose, is to release a stable version as beta, and then, wait, wait, and wait for feedback. Then publish on feedback outcomes. Good for reputation. ;) Will visit again in a short while. No hurry & thanks again. |

Title: Re: On the Beta version Post by Holgate on 12/11/05 at 05:43:11 I have an admin question/problem. With Version 1.6.2.008 (Beta) I entered the url http://myserver.com/cgi-bin/eAuction162/eAuction.pl?action=admin, but I get this error message: Error A4331A Hacker alert When I try to use the 'My Auction Center' to log-in with Alias='Admin' and Password='auction' I receive this error message: Error Regfile: Admin could not be opened I've done a search through the forum and can't find anything that covers this. Is the admin feature yet to come, or am I missing something? I see it in the eAconfig.pl file with alias=admin and password=auction...so I assume there's an admin panel I'm not able to access for some reason? (note - with the v1.6.1.60 I get a 403 Forbidden server error using the url http://www.myserver.com/cgi-bin/eAuction161/?action=admin , and the same Regfile error message as above trying to get into the 'My Auction Center' using the 'Admin' alias and 'auction' password) |

The admin part isn't released yet. Holgate wrote:

Title: Re: On the Beta version Post by Holgate on 12/11/05 at 14:54:41 Aha. I suspected so, but wasn't confident enough to assure myself. Thanks for your work. Excellent stuff. :) |
