Hi,

Also following config just invokes outlook explorer but does not create or send any messages.

#-#############################################
# Config-Section-01

# 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'}      = 'eAuction161';
   
# 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'}              = 1; # Set this from 1 to 0 if you want to use your own setting  
  $config{'basepath'}              = '/Auction';

# 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'}            = '/Program Files/Outlook Express/msimn.exe'; # no additional options please
 
# or Configure your MAIL HOST (SMTP)
   #$config{'mailhost'}      = 'http://akldnotes';    
   
# Set this from 0 to 1 if the script is running with a real Web-Server
   $config{'web_server'}      = 0;

OK, Omni Secure web server may not have SMTP component, but how was I supposed to know that the SMTP server has to be a component of the web server and not the stand alone application?

Is the script able to work with stand alone SMTP server? On the same machine?

If not, I can use any web server you recommend. Is there any recommended setup/web server/SMTP server that works from the box?

From 1 to 0 - OK for my own setting. What setting?

Msimn in Outlook Explorer, the program that comes with all Windows installations.

Also, how do you log in as an admin?

Thanks,

Vladimir
