Ok, does minivend own all the files down the catalog? including the products 
database? If i recall one of the real frustrations is getting the permissions set 
up right. The catalog install lets you select differant scenerios. I have always 
used the default. So I quess you have tried that. chown and chgrp your 
catalog tree for minivend.

To start to server, change from root to minivend [ # su minivend ] then 
/usr/local/minivend/bin/start
