ihow can i stop this from happening o this is what the code looks like
#-#############################################
# 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'} = 'http://kiwiwrath.com/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'} = 'http://kiwiwrath.com/mail.php'; # no additional options please

# or Configure your MAIL HOST (SMTP)
#$config{'mailhost'} = 'http://www.kiwiwrath.com/mail.php';

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

Sounds like the system-program 'sendmail' is not installed with your server-software.
Please, ask your hoster for that.

If you are going to try and use your own settings I think the 1 needs to be set to 0.
To me it looks like the 2 lines of code and working against each other the way you have them.
I might be wrong but that is how I understand Dieter's directions for this.

Hi mars,
In principle, you are right ...
but as long as the value of the flag is '1' so long the content of the related $config remains unconsidered. ;)

Hi mars,

sorry - it was just a hint.
I hope you feel not concerned by this personally.
