Adding subcatalog into running server.

[Pumin Wuvanich <pumin@hotmail.com>]

Hello,

	Does anyone know how to add subcatalog into the running server?  I don't 
like to restart the server every time when i add subcalog directive into 
'minivend.cfg''.

	I wonder how do you guys do if you have hundreds of subcatalog, and you 
just restart the server whenever you just add one subcatalog?  Will that 
break any current transaction?

     By tracing the script 'bin/makecat', i found that by adding a line 
"Catalog  simple /home/minivend/catalogs/simple  /cgi-bin/simple
/simple" in file "mvend/etc/restart" will allow  "simple" catalog to be 
added into the running server.  This really works, and the server then can 
detect all databases without restarting.  (if you want to see the code, look 
at variable $newcfgline in script 'bin/makecat')

     However, my project here will have only one catalog, and many
subcatalogs inside.  Here is what i tried.
      1.  I put new config file
'/home/minivend/catalogs/simple/sub_of_simple.cfg'
      2.  I added line "SubCatalog sub_of_simple simple
/home/minivend/catalogs/simple /cgi-bin/sub_of_simple" into
"minivend.cfg"
      3.  I replace the line above in $newcfgline in 'makecat'  , and
then i executed that restart part.  However, it didn't work.  Result
from the log, the 'simple' catalog itself  was reconfigured, but the
server still counldn't find 'sub_of_simple' .

      I spent a lot of time on this, but still no luck.  Any suggestions 
will be greatly appreciated.
