I'm getting exactly the same thing. I thought at first SHTML wasn't parsing correctly, but I don't know if that's the problem or not.
When I hit http://www.MYDOMAIN.com/cgi-bin/auction.cgi, all I get is a blank page, no errors, nothing. admin.cgi and all its functions seem to work though. |

| Make sure that index.shtml is one of the default pages for your isp. More than likely it is index.html and default.html. I had to add it and I use IIS6. |

if this is the address of your auction
http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com[i:76c12845d5]/cgi-bin/auction.cgi[/i:76c12845d5]
it will be this
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/auction.cgi"-->
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if this is the address of your auction is
http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com[i:76c12845d5]/cgi-bin/na/auction.cgi[/i:76c12845d5]
then it will be like this
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/na/auction.cgi"-->
do not put your full address http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/cgi-bin/auction.cgi
hope this helps! |

Guys,
The index.shtml file can be used if your server allows SSI (server side include), this file has only one line which should point to your auction.cgi file:
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi"-->
The path /cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi is your server path to the file auction.cgi, this may be different from server to another, it may start from your server root
/var/www/domain.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi
If SSI is not allowed on your server, then use the file index1.shtml, rename it to index.html orindex.shtml or default.html, and editthe url in it, it is loaded by little Javascript code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
window.location.replace("http://www.mewsoft.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi");
//-->
</SCRIPT>
Edit the url in the above code to point to your auction.cgi
Of course SSI is better because it is parased on your server localey while the JS code is run on your browser so another borwser call is added. |

It would appear SSI parsing was my problem with index.shtml, so I switched to the index1.shtml using the javascript, and that page bounced over to auction.cgi just fine...
Except then, I still get just a blank page. Anytime I load auction.cgi, I get no errors, nothing but a blank page.
You're welcome to check it out for yourself. I've setup NetAuction on our website here:
http://www.treellc.com/cgi-bin/auction.cgi
The html pages are located here:
http://www.treellc.com/auction/index1.shtml
I can even go into Configuration and set the site status to Locked, and the "Down for Maintenance" page works! But as soon as I set it back to Unlocked, I get nothing but a blank page.
The page Title loads ok, I can see the Internet Explorer title-bar changed to what I entered in Configuration. And even more bizarre -- if I view the source for the page from Internet Explorer, all the HTML is there! It's almost like it's just not showing any of it.
I sure hope someone has an idea, I'm getting kind of desperate here. |

Your installation is not correct for sure, tried to access other pages like:
http://www.treellc.com/cgi-bin/MyAccount.cgi
http://www.treellc.com/cgi-bin/Accounts.cgi
All gives errors,
This means your installation is not complete only.
You need to upload the files in the correct mode, change files permissions as in the file install.txt, etc.
You can use our Auto installer for free it will do the full installation and change files permissions for you if your server is not windows, if windows it will not change files permissions only but will do the full installation.
The other way if you do not have the experiance for all that you may then need to purchase our installation service. |

I already used the Auto-Installer, that's how I got this far.
I don't have a problem paying the $50 for the installation services, in fact at this point I'd love to. I'm just concerned that if you have problems with it then it will be blamed on my server configuration or something and then I'll be out $50 and still not have a working Auction.
If you can assure me that for $50 you will work with me until it is working, then I will gladly pay for installation services immediately.
How do you complete the installation services? Do you call me and do it over the phone or what? |

In All cases we work with you until you get your software up and runing. If you order our installation service we will install and configure the software and work with you and your hosting company to get all the requierments installed if your server is missing something like perl module:
GD
DBI
mysql
...
etc
To start, order, then email me these info:
FTP address or IP:
FTP user:
FTP password:
also, please create a mysql database and send its info:
Mysql host: localhost
mysql database name:
mysql database user:
mysql database password:
We will start immediatly after we receive these information.

I just purchased your Installation Services. I sent you an email containing all the information for my server.
Please let me know if you need anything else to get it working. My phone number is on the billing information if you need to call me.
Thanks,
