OK, I worked on it a bit more and got it the way it's supposed to be....

eConfig161.pl =

# 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'} = 'auction';

# 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'} = '/var/www/auction';

The get_path sub in eAuction.pl is ...

$config{'html_dir'} = 'auction';
$config{'get_path'} == 1

With the appropriate folders created and such it works just fine. Thanks for the motivation to look for myself.

Hi, same problem here. Almost like there is one setting missing or not apparent. I've got all my paths correct, permissions correct. Error now at least though is "No such file or directory", although html_dir does exist. This is not set as data directory, as I figure it is to look for images in the html_dir?

If I run script from command, it works. Not in browser.

Thank-you,thank-you,thank-you....

*kisses idontno*

Guess I'm on the same server type as you.
I must have hit how many auction scripts (most of them were horrid looking)

I'm very happy, found one that I very much like and I got it to work.
All in an hour.
Taking me three months trying to figure out the others.
I'm new to cgi/perl.
I just couldn't figure out why I could get a bulletin board and chat to work and couldn't get an auction to work.
(gtchat/vbulletin)

This script is fantastic!
...my site is off to the races now!!

This was very helpful. (The piece about money appreciated didn't go unnoticed either - would like to get this running first though.)

Is it usual to include a cgi-bin folder in both the private AND public areas of a site FS? How would you get dump.pl to run, for instance, if it's not in the public_html area?

[quote author=Forum Admin link=board=general;num=1083175702;start=0#4 date=04/29/04 at 00:47:31]A well configured server FS looks like this:

/root
|
|--/non-web-area
|
|--/cgi-bin
|
|--/htdocs (web-area)

You store 'sensitive data' into the 'non-web-area'

A bad configured server FS looks like this:

/root
|
|--/htdocs (web-area)
|
|--/cgi-bin
