Hello, trying again in case everyone missed the first message, please
answer

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

 Oldarnie
