Delete the folder "auctions" in the cgi-bin folder and create a new one.

Then re-upload the contents of the "auctions" folder without actually uploading the folder.

EDIT: Actually, it IS a path issue- see the top post. I was able to replicate this error if the auction.pl script does not have the basepath setting at the top of the config section set properly. There are only a few settings to worry about, so read the script thoroughly- it is well documented and easy to understand.

An easy way to find you file path settings is to go to the info.cgi file and look for the path it says under "SCRIPT_FILENAME" and that will display your file path.

the URL to your info.cgi file will be something like this:

http://yoursite.com/cgi-bin/auction/info.cgi

Look at the "SCRIPT_FILENAME" setting display and it will look something like:

/home/yoursite/public_html/cgi-bin/auction/info.cgi

just cut off the info.cgi from the end and there is your needed file basepath!

paste that info in here:

$config{'basepath'} = '/home/yoursite/public_html/cgi-bin/auction/';
