This is what I get

Sounds like you didn't upload it in ASCII mode or you didn't chmod the uploaded files.

Hello,

I am getting the same error... Sneaky - what did you do to fix the problem? I have uploaded the files in ASCII mode and chmod-them. There are no error messages in the error log on the server. But i keep getting this error.
I suspect the problem is here somewheare:

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

# 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'} = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'; # no additional options please

# or Configure your MAIL HOST (SMTP)
#$config{'mailhost'} = '';

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

but i just cannot find it. May be the base path? Because it doesn't matter what i write there, i get the same error even if i leave it blank.

The script comes with default settings.
Please use them (before you change them).

Did you upload as the owner of the account, or did you upload as root?
Uploading as root will require a chown as well.

cd to the directory it is installed. This is important or you will break the account, it must be the directory that eAuction was installed in.

chown -R owner:owner ./
Replace owner with the account owner. I hope this helps.

Sorry DARKLORD ...
but most people are using a virtual server.
Therefore your contribution is confusing most people a little.
