I don't understand

I really don't understand what the logs are telling me.

Here are some of the errors etc. :

I would say that this is not really a sme server 7.x issue, it's an issue with a contrib you have installed, so at best you should have posted this to the contribs forum.

Did you bother to search on these type of entries:
File does not exist: /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/favicon.ico

You would find an answer. These are usually requests from external robots trying to read (non existent) files on your (Windows) server, and then trying to hack it. Obviously these files don't exist as you are running a Linux server.

The other error messages are all relating to actions of your auction site scripts.
The messages are fairly specific, so you have to determine why it cannot do what it is trying to do eg permission issues, read/write issues. You probably need a better understanding of what the scripts are trying to do, but the error message is really telling you what cannot be done.
You then need to determine why that cannot be done on the sme server.

I suggest you look at one error message at a time and try to work through that, looking at 50 messages and trying to fix them all at the same time is hard work.

Thanks for the info, I'll work on it some more

As far as permissions go, I've set the complete script and file for 777 just to see if any effect or changes are made to the function of the script.

Nothing changed it appears that your are correct that I must try and determine if SME will allow this function that what I've been trying to figure out.

I also need to go back and confirm what version of PHP is required, I think SME is version 4, not sure if the script requires version 4 or 5, this could be the problem as well, however I'm also having trouble with egroupware in which i've followed the instructions but no luck there either.

It could be a simple compatibility issue with the script requirements

I'll go back to the drawingboard thanks for the help.

I realize this is not a SME topic but it only really has to do with trying to find out the package list of SME and capabilities to see if it will run the auction script.

In theory I was told by serveral who looked at it, that it should.

So I'm going to have to review those logs and find out what is what, and why.

I very much was under the impression when I got this script that it was a snap to install, and I even paid them to install it properly appearantly they have been doing it for years on servers without fail.

So thats what brings me to all the questions as to why it would not work on SME or what is SME doing differently.

I saw someplace in the how:to's that running applications is recommended to install in the opt/ directory and not in ibay for some reason which I don't understand, however I wonder if there is anything to the function of this that would change.

Anyhow I have set all permissions to 777 and chown to www. and the auction just does not appears to work properly and I just can't figure out why.

I know that is does work on other servers both windows/linux/unix etc.

The script will just not write or create those folders or set permissions to those folders etc. for some reason.

The script is suppose to create these user folders and set the permissions, but it's just not working.

I wish I knew more about the programming to determine what it could be or perhaps more about SME to at least determine something, but it's becoming a little more then I have time to diagnose.

I thought that perhaps someone who know would be able to diagnose at least to say SME will not run this script ever. Or at least that the script is bad or something.

It appears this could take me years of education to get this working properly by then I'll have lost interest in the whole project.

I don't know I appreciate any help on this topic.

I've posted other thread to try and access tool that my help me with diagnosing this problem.

Thanks

Stop repeating the question and do some research.
It's your problem so you cannot expect a magic answer.

I took the very first auction software error message & did a google search
Found nothing,
Then I limited the search string to
attempt to invoke directory as script:

and found lots of results.
http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=attempt+to+invoke+directory+as+script%3A&btnG=Search&meta=

Maybe this one is related to your problem:

http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-users/200308.mbox/%3C200308172351.28091.brian@cubik.ca%3E

Reading a few of them suggest that perhaps the script is being accessed incorrectly ie the cgi-bin path is being called up, but it should not be accesssed that way.

I don't know if that is your problem or not.

There was one link that refered to auction but the link to that search result went elsewhere.

So keep searching & happy reading

Well, Thanks

Well, regarding your suggestions to research.
I've researched and researched and researched.
I have also found these topics and other similar topics in which people are talking about their programmed script and diagnosing their scripts etc.
They do not appear to be related, as this is not really  a script problem to my knowledge; as i've mentioned the scipt works on Windows/linux/unix etc. Currently working and being used appearantly by everyone but me.

So your comment indicates you did not understand the question thus warrants repeating.

The script works perfectly on all servers having the required perameters.

So I guess the final question is really does SME have the correct perameters which I've been told in the past that yes is does?
However now perhaps I'm not so sure.

I"m not really looking to diagnose the script, however perhaps it may need diagnosing or perhaps in conclusions to finding out first to determine if SME is doing something different that may not allow the script to run correctly. Then at that point I would diagnose the script and eduacate myself on that subject if needed.

This is not a repeating of the topic, but clarrification since I don't seem to be getting answers that match the question.

This should not cause reason for sarcasm, I do appreciate your trying to help on this subject, however telling someone to research and educate themself is practically a none answer.

None answers with lots of words but no conclusions gets a E for effort.

I will continue to research, and ask questions and perhaps clarrify them as I see fit until I get the answers I'm looking for.

I appreciate a guessing and advise, however if you like to be sarcastic please go heckle someone elses post and leave mine alone.

Thanks for your cooperation in this matter as I move toward the successful completion of my project.

Moving on to the subject:

Apearantly the script requires this:

Perl, CGI, GD, Curl, ImageMagik, be able to read/write in the cgi-bin folder and know the path to the script.

I initially was told by someone in the forums, I do not recall who or which post, but that SME meets the requirements.

Can someone please confirm this, perhaps I simply do not have the requirements ?

I'm considering this topic closed until I can figure out what I have.

I will post regarding this topic within my other post regaring package list.

Thanks

Forgive my ignorance on my auction script which I've purchased.
I was under the impression or was told that it was php, I WAS WRONG. I repeat NOT PHP

So now that I've displayed my ignorance on this subject even further.I don't really know how this happened, but when I purchased the script there were many references to php; and I also purchase a php auction script as well, so perhaps I assumed incorrectly that all that I purchased was php. Anyhow just FYI

Anyhow back to the problem and reopening this post for helps please
The script is Perl and is tested and used on many servers with Perl 5

Appearantly the SME 7 has Perl 4.3.9

Perhaps this is my problem with the script ?

But how would I know ? I thought it was PHP, so how in the hell would I know? LOL

Any thought please ? :-D

Thanks

> The script is Perl and is tested and used on many servers with Perl 5
> Appearantly the SME 7 has Perl 4.3.9

You need to ascertain if Perl 5 is a requirement (ie dependency) of the scripts or whether they are just known to run on servers with Perl 5.
The script may well be capable of running on Perl 4.3.9, unless you determine otherwise. I would think the author would be the best person to ask for this answer.
If the script definitely requires Perl 5 then you should update your version of Perl.

As regards my earlier comments re looking in the log files to help track down the problem (which you seemed to dismiss as sarcasim), the log files ARE telling you why something is not doing what it should.

They ARE the best clue you have to determine why the scripts are not working on sme. Notice I said not "working on sme", not just "not working".
Clearly you have said the scripts do work elsewhere, so at least that is a known starting point.
I doubt very much that sme inherently is the problem. There may be some configuration issues relating to your specific scripts & how & where they are installed, but not a problem with sme as such. It's more likely a problem with how you installed & configured the scripts on sme.
You need to thoroughly investigate why you are getting those error messages in the logs, and if you don't understand what they mean then keep asking pertinent & SPECIFIC questions.
A general, "it doesn't work please give me the fix", "and no one is answering my question even though I have repeated it many times" won't get you much sympathy around here.

Pick one error from the log file and thrash it to death until you get an answer (from wherever) and then move on to the next error.
If you fix one error it may fix a whole lot of other errors in the process.
In the converse, if you don't fix the first error, then you may not be able to fix the later errors.

A user group or forum specific to the scripts may be a better and/or alternative place to be asking also.

If you really don't have the technical expertise, time and inclination to resolve it yourself, then consider paying a sme expert to "get the scripts running on sme" for you, assuming they will run of course.

I gather you paid someone to install the script, so you must consider it important for your needs.

How did you determine that ?
I answered your other thread re the version of perl installed
If I do
rpm -q perl
perl-5.8.5-24.RHEL4

So sme 7 has greater than perl v5, so that will not be your problem

Even sme6 has greater than perl v5
rpm -q perl
perl-5.6.1-36.1.73

Sorry I'm still looking at PHP stuff again by accident

I've been researching php stuff for so long now trying to figure out what is wrong with the server / script I seem to be stuck in a sort of momentum or force of habit condition
here is the info I got this from and it clearly says PHP I don't know why I can't stop diagnosing php when it's not a php script http://www.foolishlys.com/phpinfo.php
You know it's really fustrating to not really know much about linux or programming, and then to actually pay for something like a script and being told that it's one thing and it's really not. Since I did not know I could only reply based on what I was told. I hate these kinds of topics and would just like to be able to use my SME server with this perl script which should work. I've even paid programmers, and network admistrators with over 10 years experience in multiple fields such as php,msql,perl,linux,networking,web hosting,solaris,unix.windows and all kinds of other programming credentials and still can't get this simple auction script working on SME
I just don't get it.

So if they don't know, I'm beginning to loose motivation in this project and am beginning to think that SME will just not run this script, but it should, it has all the things the script needs to my knowledge and the programmers have research the script language and it is suppose to be working.
The network administrators say that the SME box is working and that the script should also be working, not really blaming the script but not fully understanding why the script will not work either

Well back to the drawing board and thanks again for the correction on what version of php I have
Anyhow thanks for the correction.

Agent86 you may want to remove that page from your server or at least block it with a user name and password.

You are revealing a lot of info about your server which could be of interest to anyone wanting to attack your server.

You are ranting and raving again.
You are not focussing on the information presented to you to derive answers.

Which bit of my earlier post did you not understand. I write reasonably constructed  english sentences which I believe most people can understand. Grab hold of the suggestions and run with them.

sme server is different in its structure, and is VERY protective regards security. The way many things are done on regular Linux distributions is not how they are done on sme server, particularly web stuff. You could say the sme server is "locked up tight" and there may be something you need to unlock to get the scripts to run correctly.

Unless the network admins you consulted are very conversant with sme, they may be missing some simple configuration issue which stops the scripts running correctly.
I have said it before and I'll repeat it again for you.

Look at the log files, you have already quoted them earlier, they are telling you what the problem is. Of course they are not telling you the answer, but you or some other experienced sme server admin should be able to track down the issue that is causing the errors in the logs.

From your responses so far I don't believe you are technically capable of solving this problem.
I suggest you enquire re getting the services of a experienced sme server administrator to analyse your problem and see if a resolution is possible.
I know Gordon Rowell does this sort of thing and in the USA you have Darrell May, and I 'm sure there are many others if you ask.

> Look at the log files...

For example, quoting a couple of log file excerpts from your earlier posting:

[Fri Jun 09 18:42:54 2006] [error] [client 10.1.10.3] Modification of non-creatable array value attempted, subscript -1 at /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/cgi-bin/auction/mainpage.pl line 477., referer: http://www.foolishlys.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.pl
[Fri Jun 09 18:42:54 2006] [error] [client 10.1.10.3] Compilation failed in require at /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/cgi-bin/auction/auction.pl line 18., referer: http://www.foolishlys.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.pl

Have you looked at the lines in the scripts that are being referred to here.
What does it say on
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/cgi-bin/auction/mainpage.pl line 477

and

/home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/cgi-bin/auction/auction.pl line 18

Something in the script is the clue to why these errors occurred. I'm not saying an error in the script, but an error on your sme server and the way it & the script is all setup

Follow the log errors through one by one
