Mark -
When I got the message you see, the install process stopped right
there. Normally it configures the server and starts it; that did not
happen. Did the same thing happen to you? If so, what did you do? I do
not have access permissions to do anything to the files in the ISP's Perl
install, so I could not run 'make install UNINST-1' successfully.
What I ended up doing is renaming minivend.cfg.dist to minivend.cfg and
trying to start the server manually. I indicates that it is started, but
apparently is it is not - it does no show up as a running process:
www-pws7: {3} % mvend/bin/minivend -start
Low traffic settings.
MiniMate is NOT active.
MiniVend V4.02
MiniVend server started in INET and UNIX mode(s) (process id 4299)
Continuing in UNIX MODE ONLY
www-pws7: {4} % ps
PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
4285 p6 Ss 0:00.33 -tcsh (tcsh)
4300 p6 R+ 0:00.01 ps
...note that immediately after "starting", the server's PID is not
listed. Here's the contents of error.log for this action:
- - - [24/March/2000:16:47:53 +0100] - - Low traffic settings.

I don't know if this problem is caused because I tried to manually rename
minivend.cfg.dist and start the server, or some other problem(s)...
You were right that deleting mvend/etc/minivend.pid allowed me to issue
server commands, but as soon as it appears I get 'Could not lock file:
Permission Denied' again. If I delete it and issue the stop command, I get:
The Minivend server was not running (/home/v/visprox/mvend/etc/minivend.pid).
I am kind of lost here. Any further suggestions you may have would be
appreciated.
