Title: No such file or directory at eAuction.pl line 2386
Post by mars22 on 07/17/05 at 21:54:55

Did a fresh, new installation, as is, out of the zip file.
Ran the test and let it finish (test files auot-deleted).
Then Registered 2 users.
Posted an item.
Then made one bid at the Buy-It-Now price.
Got the usual message confirming my bid amount (and my bid also closed the item, that is, I won the bidding) and beneath it I
Got the following error message
----------------------------------------------------
Error
No such file or directory at eAuction.pl line 2386.
No such file or directory
----------------------------------------------------
Line 2386 is:: unlink "$config{'basepath'}$form{'ITEM'}_lock.dat" or die $!;
There is a lock.dat file in the "3eAuction161" non-accesible directory.
I continue to get the identical error message with other items I post. The eAuction bidding process works as it should and a Buy-It-Now bid wins the item and closes it, but the error message is probably very confusing for non experienced bidders.

I also duplicated what I did above on Dieter's V 1.6.2 test site; that is posted an item and bid against myself, bidding the Buy-It-Now price on the first bid, but was not presented the error message.

One note, I am running two separate eAuctions, that is I have two cgi-bin files with different name (eAuction161 and 2eAuction161) , 2 non-accessible web directories with different names, but both share the same image directories.

Any suggestions as to cause and how to eliminate woudl be valued. I have seen some threads on similar error messages but nothing that was helpful to me with this problem.

Yes, that's a bug ...
I didn't consider that the first bid could be a Buy-It-Now bid.

Debug:
- search eAuction.pl for
Code:

sub proc_bid

- scroll down to the end of the subroutine
- replace the lines
Code:

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

with this
Code:

-e "$config{'basepath'}$form{'ITEM'}_lock.dat" && do {
close LOCK;
unlink "$config{'basepath'}$form{'ITEM'}_lock.dat" or die $!;
};
