Dieter,
I am quite experienced at installing perl programs.
Before I discovered your generous website offering EveryAuction with so many of the addons included I had sucessfully installed  EveryAuction version 1.5 with a few of the addons.

However I am unable to get this script to run and continue to get an--Internal Server Error  message.

I have included as much relevant information as possible below.
Can you see where I have gone wrong?

Regards,
Marshall Burke

$config{'auction_dir'} = 'eAuction161';

# $config{'mailprog'}      = '/Your/Path/To/sendmail'; # no additional options please
#$config{'mailhost'}      = 'http://YourSMTP-Host';
$config{'web_server'} = 1;

I was able to get the script working early this morning by doing something that for me is counter-intuitve, and that was using the deafut options as you wrote the script, for example your script is:
$config{'get_path'}= 1;
$config{'basepath') = '/Your/Basepath';
But I reasoned that if I leave it as it is, or, "set to =1", I should have to remark out the other option, and that is what I did.
$config{'get_path'}= 1;
#$config{'basepath') = '/Your/Basepath';
But that was not working, so I simply left everything as you wrote it to get started and it is now working.
I guess I am dumb in that respect - of how I considered the config file options. I should have looked at the code to see how $config{'get_path'} was using that information,

But for now "alles es en ordenung"

If we go ahead with our tentative business plan of offering a private auction of our industrial robots to selected customers, and use your EveryAuction auction we will defintely make a donation.

Until then I will be casting a vote and rating for you and your program.

With dankes and regards,
