Hello Ronnie,

I'm not Dieter but Maybe I can help you a little. When you run the test the eAuction folder is created. There will be a subdirectory called 'auction_pics' in there. Upload the icons (camera.gif & hammer.gif) into the 'auction_pics' folder using binary mode.

As for the requirement for the phone and fax number, open the eConfig.pl file on your computer and look for the sub: Config-Section-02. Scroll down till you see this section

# Set this from 1 to 0 if you don't want to print out
# 'Users Phone-/Fax-Informations'
   $config{'print_phone_fax'}      = 1; # 1 = yes | 0 = no

just change the ($config{'print_phone_fax'} = 1;) 1 to a 0 like it says.

As for your title, look for this section in eConfig.pl:

# Auction Name (will appear at the top of each page)
   $config{'sitename'}              = 'eAuction.com';

Change to look like this:
$config{'sitename'}              = 'yoursitenamehere .com';

As for your emails, in this section of eConfig.pl:

# 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 up with your information for your mail that you will be using and then register yourself as a user on your auction site and you will receive a confirmation of signup and your password, and you will be able to see the emails that are sent.

If you are using a real web server on the internet be sure and set this section of the eConfig.pl section correctly:

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

when you make the changes reupload the eConfig.pl and eAuction.pl files making sure to use(ASCll mode)

   - chmod 755 eAuction.pl
   - chmod 644 eConfig161.pl
   - start your browser and type in:

I am by no means an expert. I have been working with the script and I to have looked for answers and asked questions. Dieter is very knowledgeable and helpful and has created a very fine program. Be sure to send a donation  to him and help in anyway you can. A free program and the programmer's help, support and expertise, I dont think you will find it anywhere else on the web. Hail to Dieter.

I hope I helped answer some of your questions. Good Luck Friend.
