I downloaded a fresh copy of the script.  Configured it to work with my email/site info.  When the script first runs I get  an Regfile cannot open error, Use of uninitialized value at .../eAuction161/eConfig161.pl line 742...I'ill go throught the menu options will work one time and a second time l'ill have  the same error.

These are the lines (I made no change)
738 ##########################
739 # Edit your Navigation-Bar (if needed)
740 ##########################
741 sub disp_navbar {
742 print <<EO_HTML;  

Thanks  Ronnie

Hi - Thanks for getting back to me.  I've been using the top menu.  One time I'ill get the error and the next time it will be O.K.  I use catalog (get error), goto Hot items (no error), New items (error), Hot items (error), Help (no error).

The url is:

Multimedia file viewing and clickable links are available for registered members only!!  You need to Login or Register!!


The error is:
Error
Regfile: Dieter
could not be opened

Please, contact the
Auction Administrator
if you belive this to be a server problem.
