I'm trying to use eAuction (Date: 08/03/2002, Version: eA-1.6.1.60, Last update: 04/17/2005) and i need your help.
On my home computer (Windows, Apache, ActivePerl) eAuction runs successfully with following main parameters:
Quote:$config{'cgi_dir'} = ''; # Default for most servers
$config{'auction_dir'} = 'eAuction';
$config{'get_path'} = 1; # Set this from 1 to 0 if you want to use your own setting
$config{'basepath'} = '';
Scripts are placed into 'cgi-bin/eAuction' folder, after the first run subfolder 'ceAuction' appears under 'eAuction' with data in it.
It seems strange to me that when i specify $config{cgi_bin} as 'cgi-bin' instead of empty '', eAuction fails with 'Bad file descriptor' message. But well, at least it works with this parameter empty.
But on my hosting system (Unix, Apache) i have just NO IDEA how to make it work. I tried all of your answers that i found through search on this forum (creating data (777) and script (755) folders at one level, creating 'eAuction_161' with 'eAuction161' subfolder and so on) - there is ALWAYS 'Bad file descriptor' error message.
I tried to specify full path in $config{basepath}, tried to replace it's part with $ENV entry, tryed to let the script detect basepath automatically like on my home machine - NOTHING helped.
Please, guys, show me my fault or i will just go mad.
