With an attachment telling me "the webmaster" I was out bid.

WHat did you see?

you have a .htaccess file in your store or public folder?. make a backup of it , then remove for a test
if this file contains
instructions which the web server doesn't know how to parse, then it will generate this error message

I have a backup of my entire site along with the htaccess file.
I should delete the htaccess file from my production server and see if it still works?

Also, why cant dreamweaver read the htaccess file?

1st a .htaccess file is considered a hidden file, perhaps thats why.
2nd yes just remove the .htaccess file and we will test to eliminate or condemn it LOL
if so, post your .htaccess file and maybe we can figure the trouble.

? .....:smile:

There are no .htaccess files in my root or store directory already. There are a few in the sub folders such as admin ETC.

Which ones should I worry about?

Also ,
1. Did you see an error page after you placed a bid?
2. Did you get an error email?

I really think the issue is that the module thinks the webmaster is a buyer just because I put a starting bid in when I created the product.

Then it tries to notify me that I have been outbid upon the first real buyer bid.

I think it discovers an unexpected complication in the code when trying to treat the outbid notification email to a webmaster as opposed to a buyer.

any thoughts?

It pobbably cant find a member email to send the outbid notice to because its the admin that made the first bid when they set the peramiters for the product.

Therefore it sends the error email to the admin.

Can there be an if else statement to check to see if the customer has an email in the propper place in the member database or is not a registered or logged in administrator who uploads the product starting bid?

any thoughts?
