Anyway onto the problem at hand. I am working on a remote server hostmonster.com, and I have successfully installed the script to the server now, but I am having problems with the email service, which gives me a server overload error. Since it is a remote server I have edited out the first email option in the config script, and typed in the domain to the smtp on bidifference.com as Multimedia file viewing and clickable links are available for registered members only!! You need to
or

I was confused about how the program knows what port to use, so I searched the eAuction.pl file, and changed the send port to the proper number. Here is a look at my config file:
# 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
$config{'basepath'} = '/home1/bidiffer/private';
# You need to assign either a mail program or
# a mail host so e-mails can be sent out.
# Configure your MAIL PROGRAM
#$config{'get_mail'} = 0; # Set this from 1 to 0 if you want to use your own setting
#$config{'mailprog'} = '/home1/bidiffer/mail/bidifference.com/teks'; # no additional options please
# or Configure your MAIL HOST (SMTP)
$config{'mailhost'} = 'Multimedia file viewing and clickable links are available for registered members only!! You need to
or
!!
';
# Set this from 0 to 1 if the script is running with a real Web-Server
$config{'web_server'} = 1;
#-#############################################
Looks proper so far. but where the heck does it know the login information?
I assume it knows it from here:
############################
# Your Admin-Password.
$config{'adminpass'} = '1a2s3E';
# This line must be your e-mail address
$config{'admin_address'} = 'teks@bidifference.com';
############################
This username, and password would work to connect to the smtp mail.bidifference.com
Now what about the port?
How does the email service know which port is open for email?
Anyway some help on configuring the email would really be appreciated, as this is vital to me continueing with test objects.
