Hi Marc,

i have found this.

http://www.minivend.com/minivend/faq/03.02.We_re_sorry_the_MiniVend_server.html

http://www.minivend.com/minivend/docindex/24.90.ReadPermission_and_WritePermissi.html

http://www.minivend.com/minivend/docindex/24.32.ErrorFile.html

and another part information from the minvend doc (section "If
something goes wrong"):


2.That you have proper file permissions. 

      IMPORTANT NOTE: The MiniVend server should not run as the user nobody! 

      The program files can be owned by anyone, but any databases, ASCII database source files, error logs, and the directory that holds them must be writable by the proper user ID, that is the one
      that is executing the minivend program. The best way to operate in multi-user, multi-catalog setups is to create a special minivend user, then put that user in the group that each catalog user
      is in. If you can define a group for each individual user, that provides the best security. Then all associated files can be in 660 or 770 mode, and you should have no problems with permissions,
      and no problems with security. 



I hope, you get the right informations.

Perhaps! But english isn't my native language and i am still learning
english! My little brother said, i use "english for runaway". :-))
