Title: You are on local server so this is just for testi
Post by adawatk on 06/01/05 at 21:28:27

Hello there i have read through literally every post and still no luck :( , When i create a new user i get the "You are on local server so this is just for testing", Which is so annoying, i have worked out from reading to change the variable about whether the script is running on a real web server, which it is so i have put 1 in there. I am using windows XP thus using a SMTP server not sendmail so i have correctly configured that, please someone help me sort this out so it sends correctly and doesnt display this message. the quickest way to get to my auction script site is
http://www.auctions.uni.cc so you can see the problem, and here is a text file saved which is the econfig.pl file i use http://www.mediareader.uni.cc/text.txt so you can see what i have configured

Hi there,

I'm getting this error message too :-/. But I didn't change any of the copyright information. When I register for an account it displays the entire email in duplicate directly below this

Hello usrname,
you should receive an e-mail to: myemail@mydomain.com
in a few minutes.
It will contain your password needed to post or bid.
You may change your password once you receive it.

If I scroll down on the same page it says this:

Thank you for visiting.

Can you possibly help me figure out what I'm doing or did wrong??

Here's a copy of the script as I've changed it:

Quote:

# 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'} = 0; # 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://mail.tinytotsrabbitry.com';

# Set this from 0 to 1 if the script is running

with a real Web-Server
$config{'web_server'} = 1;

Please, ask your provider for the path to sendmail.

Hello I test eAuction on a local server with the latest version of xampp 1.61. With perl everything goes oke. When a started xampp with mod-perl there became an error 'Unrecognized character \xEF at (eval 44) line 3' . In mine view line 3 is %config or use vars qw (
Who regconized this problem.

thanks

Sorry, but the error message says
line 3 of eval 44

On the other hand ...
eAuction is not designed to run under mod_perl.

Thank you for the quick reaction and answer.
While the auction program will not start by mine provider who has mod perl ik can ask him to change mine settings. So I can use it on mine real website.

Most servers have different directories for mod_perl and perl
cgi-bin is the common CGI directory
perl-cgi (or similar) is the mod_perl directory
