Problem with install

I installed the auctionawy, in the ASCII and binary modes, Made all of the changes to the cgi. and then tried to run my admin.pl\ Well the Admin page shows up, no login is asked for, when I try to click any of the links I get a "Page not found".\ \ Ok I know that I could have mised something, so I have spent all day checking and rechecking , and I cannot find where I have made a mistake \ \ Any help will be appreciated\ \ zbdude\ (Norman)

Re: Problem with install

First, why you changed the .cgi to .pl, is your server does not execute .cgi files?

Second all files under /cgi-bin/auction must be transferred in ascii mode only

Third, if you can get the admin.cgi or.pl page then you need only after this to set the Configuration to get all the links working, you may ser the wrong cgi url there.

Re: Problem with install

Ok\ I understand and did make sure that I did change all of the perl, correctly, renamed the cgi to pl.\ I transferred all of the cgi/auction files, \ cgi,pm,ini,html,shtml, txt in ASCII mode.\ \ Then I transferred all of my gif and jpeg in binary.\ \ I went back again this morning and made sure that all files have had their permissions changed to 755.\ \ When I try to go to mu admin.pl The page showes up.\ All pf the links show on the left side, and when I mouseover them they each show their proper link, but when I click. I get the page not found.\ \ Also none of the gif.'s show up at all.\ \ I think I understand what you are saying about seeing the wrong cgi url. I have tried a couple of alternatives in the wording, but I have not found any that even show the page but this one.
