[mv] Newbie problem with Version4 please help

******    message to minivend-users from Roger Arnold <ecommerce@a-dream.com.au>     ******

 Gooday,

I have just tried to install version 4 of MiniVend (I previously had ver
3.14 running) and everything seemed to go OK untill I tried to access
the demo catalog. Thinking the problem was that MVend had not been
started, I proceeded to start the MV server using the command shown on
the screen after the install.

 Then I was presented with the following:

 Killing Minivend server 29988 with TERM.
 Low traffic settings.
 MiniVend V4.00
 Configuring catalog simple...
 Using MySQL for databases, DSN=dbi:mysql:test_minivend.

 Directive ProductFiles returned default setting error: No default
search file!
 In line 0 of the configuration file ' ':
 Require usertag    reconfig

 simple config error: Directive ProductFiles returned default setting
error: No default search file!
 In line 0 of the configuration file ' ':
 Require usertag    reconfig

 simple: error in configuration. Skipping.
 simple: config error. Skipping.
 MiniVend server started in INET and UNIX mode(s) (process id 1799)

 ====================================================
 I went right through the config process again and got the same
response,
 however I am sure that I must be making a simple and silly mistake
 somewhere.

 I checked the MySQL database that had been set-up and found that it was

 empty, is this normal ?
 I would have thought that there would be data tables for the demo in
the
database ?

 If I try to access the demo site on the server I get:
 Undefined catalog: /cgi-bin/simple

 This would indicate to me that "Makecat" did not copy all the files
into
 the right places, however it did create the "temp-minivend" database.

 If I have done something stupid please tell me that I have been stupid
 and point me in the right direction.

 Thanks in advance for any replies
