Hi Dan: Give me a day or two to review and package it up and I'll ship it right over to you.

Re: Open Source Auction Web Site software on Linux
Hi Dan, Since you are not getting a lot of suggestions, I checked OSCommerce and found two add-ons for hosting auctions: http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/6431 http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/5890 Larry ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
Open Source Auction Web Site software on Linux
A client of mine asked me this morning to create a new domain and web site for on-line auctions of their items , eventually, consignments (they are in the collectibles/antiques business, primarily weaponry). They are not trying to reinvent eBay; they only want to list their own items and not the general public's. Rather than write my own, I searched for some existing solutions, but haven't found anything which jumps out as good, let alone, best. Does anyone have any suggestions for on-line auction software, preferably open source, though commercial is acceptable, if source is available (Perl, PHP, or Ruby, preferable)? Running on Linux is mandatory (the distro started out as a RedHat variant years ago, but has been heavily customized since). We host with ICDSoft. They have the usual LAMP setup, as well as PostgreSQL, or other options, as needed. Any package likely will need us to customize it some, presumably nothing onerous, as there are a few oddities of this business (governmental regulations) that off-the-shelf software might not provide. Plus I really prefer to be able to modify anything as needed. So far I've seen the names of phpAuction, AuctionFactory (a module for Joomla), iLance, E-Z Auction, and a smattering of others which appear to be phpAuction-forks. I have only briefly looked at any of these, as I hope someone in the group has some experience with something reliable and, preferably, easy to work with. Any thoughts? TIA. -- Dan Jenkins, Rastech Inc., Bedford, NH, USA - 1-603-206-9951 +++ Excellence in IT Services for four decades. ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
