Title: Installation Questions
Post by CMS on 03/27/06 at 16:02:40

Thanks to Dieter Werner, I have downloaded your eauction software.

There are 5 files (2 pic, 1 license text and 2 .pl in text format). Is that all? I must say I am not sure how to install the software apart from copying all the files to my ftp server. Is there an install file?

Anyone can help? Many thanks.

CMS :-?

The number of files is OK.
Didn't you find the installation instructions?
The following text is a part of eAuction.pl (search the header for it).
