Title: HELP installing new auction
Post by jestevam on 03/26/06 at 04:46:22

# INSTALLATION:
# -----------------
# In order to run the program you have to download
# the Config-File (eConfig161.pl) too.
#
# - edit eConfig161.pl and save it
# - save THIS file as eAuction.pl
# - search your server for your cgi-bin directory
# - create a new sub-directory: eAuction161
# - chmod that sub-directory (at least) 755.
#
# - upload
# eAuction.pl
# eConfig161.pl
# to the directory 'eAuction161' (use ASCII-Mode)
#
# - chmod 755 eAuction.pl
# - chmod 644 eConfig161.pl
# - start your browser and type in:
# http://YourDomain/cgi-bin/eAuction161/eAuction.pl

First let me tell you what I did, then you can tell me what I did wrong.

ok first I created host/cgi-bin/ --> created host/cgi-bin/eAuction161/ --> edited eConfig161.pl and saved it as eAuction.pl --> uploaded these 2 files to host/cgi-bin/eAuction161/ -->
then I created host/eAuction161/ --> and host/htdocs/ --> and host/secure/ (my non-accessible folder)

My layout would be this:

/root (home)
|
|--/eAuction161 (the data directory) **[empty]**
|
|--/cgi-bin **[1 folder, 0 files]**
| |
| |--/eAuction161 (the program directory) **[eAuction.pl, eConfig161.pl]**
|
|--/htdocs (web-area) **[1 folder, 0 files]**
| |
| |--/eAuction (the html directory) **[empty]**
|
|--/secure (non-accessible folder) **[empty]**

after seting this all up, i went to host/cgi-bin/eAuction161/eAuction.pl

and I get "This page cannot be found"

The only thing I didn't do from your direction is that 'chmod' stuff.
How do I do it and is that all I'm missing?

Thank you for your help!

Use your FTP-Client in order to 'chmod' the folders/files.
