This is an installation peoblem, it seems the file *.pm is transferred in binary mode instead of ascii mode, make sure all the files under cgi-bin/auction are uploaded to the server in ASCII mode.

They were tar'd Edit Delete Reply with quote Quote

I tar'd the files from a Solaris 10 machine and untar'd them on a BSD/OS X machine. All of the others seem OK. Which .PM is General Options and I will re-transfer it. (Assuming local corruption or something).

The files are zipped on windows system, so the .zip file has to be unzziped first on windows machine then uploaded using ftp program OR after you untar on the unix system use the dos2unix tool to convert all the files to unix format, this is the difference between windows and unix in the line ending characters:

on Windows line ending is CRLF (Carriage return+line feed ==\n\r)

On Unix it is CR (\n)

on Mac it is LF (\r).

The dos2unix will do this for you but the first method is better using FTP program on your windows PC to upload

Which .PM Edit Delete Reply with quote Quote
Reply #: 6 Posted on: 08-02-09 10:21 AM next post previous post
I checked General.PM and Admin.PM both are in Ascii. Checked with VI. Usually Cr/LF problems show lots of garbage. THese look fine. \ \ Any chance this is an Apache MIME/Type issue? \ \ Which PM is related to this?\ \ -C

I need to get this one resolved asap Edit Delete Reply with quote Quote
Reply #: 8 Posted on: 08-05-09 04:36 PM next post previous post
I need to get this one resolved asap. Can you please contact me via email? I will be happy to provide admin access if that will help the issue. In my CGI.PM days, this looks like a header issue. (Not enough blank lines). The admin.CGI is the calling CGI and seems to work with every other module. \ \ Also, the data is saved if you refresh. It looks like something is not getting to the dialog box correctly.\ \ This may be a bug or other issue. When I first loaded the software this worked fine. (I am pretty sure that it worked OK after the move to the new server.). The move was from UNIX to UNIX with UNIX tar. So I am relatively sure that there is no ASCII-> BIN issue.\ \ I have verified several of the .PM files and they are all ASCII. What I am guessing is one of two things. One a special character is in the .PM file and throwing off the save or two, there is a bug in the Header portion/

I've had the same happen and I use a Mozilla-based browser.\ \ Just curious.....have you ever seen this issue happen in IE?\ \ Out of a year, I've probably had it happen about 12 times.\ \ I usually just refresh and everything is okay.

Weird --- IE is OK Edit Delete Reply with quote Quote
Reply #: 10 Posted on: 08-07-09 12:20 PM next post previous post
I never use IE on my Apple Powerbook. This problem does not occur there? It must be some compatibility issue.\ \ Hmm. A work around for now. But I would like it to work with other browsers. Browser bugs worry me for the customer side.

I don't use IE either, I was only wondering if you or anyone else had ever run across this problem using IE.\ \ I'll NEVER use IE except to check design compatibility occasionally when I make changes....lol.\ \ I've never seen this problem happen on the auction side.\ \ How often does this issue happen to you?\ \ With it only happening maybe once a month to me, it might be hard to track down.

If this is your site:

http://www.aviationnetauction.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi

Then I can see it in IE normal, in NS normal, Mozilla Normal, Firefox normal, All on windows system. So now your installation is complete, if any browser else did not show the pages properly, then either the OS used, the browser settings is the problem.

The only issue is with saving "General Options". All other things work OK. Which leads me to a bug conclusion.\ \ I have tried under MAC OS (Which is primarily what I use).\ \ IE 5.x (Latest MAC Version) = ALL OK\ Mozilla (Latest Version) = Saving GO issue\ Netscape (Version 7) = Saving GO issue\ Safari 2.0 = SAving GO Issue.\ \ It appears like in the old days with CGI.pm problem. Like too many or not enough blank lines between text/html and the actual code.
