Configuration Section
# Edit these variables!
local %config;

# The Base Directory. We need an
# absolute path for the base directory.
# Include the trailing slash. THIS SHOULD
# NOT BE WEB-ACCESSIBLE!

$ config{‘basepath’} = ‘/home/hahnfld/auctiondata/’;

# Shut Auction Directory
# This is where shut auction items are stored.
# Leave this blank if you do not want to store
# shut auctions. It can potentially take
# up quite a bit of disk space.

$ config{‘closedir’} = ‘closed’;

# User Registration Directory
# This is where user registrations are stored.
# Leave this blank if you do not want to
# require registration. It can potentially
# take up quite a bit of disk space.

$ config{‘regdir’} = ‘reg’;

# List each directory and its associated
# category name. These directories should
# be subdirectories of the base directory.

%category = (
computer => ‘Computer Hardware and Software’,
elec => ‘Consumer Electronics’,
other => ‘Other Junk’,
);

# This is the password for deleting auction
# items.

$ config{‘adminpass’} = ‘auction’;

# You need to assign either a mail program or
# a mail host so confirmation e-mails can
# be sent out.
# Leave one commented and one uncommented.
#
# YOU NEED EITHER A MAIL PROGRAM
# $ config{‘mailprog’} = ‘/usr/lib/sendmail -t’;
#
# OR YOU NEED A MAIL HOST (SMTP)

$ config{‘mailhost’} = ‘localhost’;

# This line should be your e-mail address

$ config{‘admin_address’} = ‘nobody@yourhost.com’;

# This line should point to the URL of
# your server. It will be used for sending
# “you have been outbid” e-mail. The script
# name and auction will be appended to the
# end automatically, so DO NOT use a trailing
# slash. If you do not want to send outbid
# e-mail, leave this blank.

$ config{‘scripturl’} = ‘www.your.host.com’;

# This will let you define colors for the
# tables that are generated and the
# other page colors. The default colors
# create a nice “professional” look. Must
# be in hex format.

$ config{‘colortablehead’} = ‘#BBBBBB’;
$ config{‘colortablebody’} = ‘#EEEEEE’;

# Site Name (will appear at the top of each page)

$ config{‘sitename’} = ‘Your Site Name Here’;

# You can configure your own header which will
# be appended to the top of each page.

$ config{‘header’} =< <"EOF";

EOF

# You can configure your own footer which will
# be appended to the bottom of each page.
# Even though not required, a link back to
# everysoft.com will help to support future
# development.

$ config{‘footer’} =< <"EOF";
