alright this is my settings

# The name of your servers cgi-bin directory
$config{'cgi_dir'} = 'cgi-bin'; # Default for most servers

# The cgi-bin subdirectory where your eAuction.pl will be stored
$config{'auction_dir'} = 'eAuction161';

# The Path to a 'NON-WEBACCESSABLE' directory of your system
# Maybe you have to chmode it if you use your own setting

$config{'get_path'} = 1; # Set this from 1 to 0 if you want to use your own setting
$config{'basepath'} = '/kunden/homepages/0/d157510066/htdocs/';

# 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'} = 1; # 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://www.lanportal.org';

# Set this from 0 to 1 if the script is running with a real Web-Server
$config{'web_server'} = 0;

Based on the above, I suggest you first try the program without making any changes to the configuration file, that is, leave the configuration settings as they are.
If your website is hosted on a free server you will probably have some configuration issues.
If it is hosted on paid host, you probaly won't have any issues or if you do they will be minor.

Run the program then post any error messages you get.

Also, I think you have posted this message in the wrong section of this forum. If you have Dieter will probably move it to the forum section most appropriate.

Good luck.

You already have it.
It is the file, or the part of the file where you made the changes that you posted.

Simply upload the file using the default settings just as they are. In your case either you have to erase your chages and get them back to their original settings or unzip the download file again and start from there.

The following is from my copy of eAution161, downloaded in May, 2004.
They are the default settings.
You will find it in eConfig161.pl

#-#############################################
# Config-Section-01
#-#############################################

# The name of your servers cgi-bin directory
$config{'cgi_dir'} = 'cgi-bin'; # Default for most servers

# The cgi-bin subdirectory where your eAuction.pl will be stored
$config{'auction_dir'} = 'eAuction161';

# The Path to a 'NON-WEBACCESSABLE' directory of your system
# Maybe you have to chmode it if you use your own setting

$config{'get_path'} = 1; # Set this from 1 to 0 if you want to use your own setting
$config{'basepath'} = '/Your/Basepath';

# 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'} = 1; # 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://YourSMTP-Host';

# Set this from 0 to 1 if the script is running with a real Web-Server
$config{'web_server'} = 1;

One suggestion, after resetting the configuration options, if the script does not run the first time, if you get an error, change
# The name of your servers cgi-bin directory
$config{'cgi_dir'} = 'cgi-bin'; # Default for most servers

.........TO.......

# The name of your servers cgi-bin directory
$config{'cgi-bin'} = 'cgi-bin'; # Default for most servers

.....and give it a try.......................

if there is alot of questions and answers that first time users would use, maybe a faq is needed? well thats my opinion, i guess i will start my search later, i dont have much space time anymore. faqs are usefull for me.
