Ed,

is the port 7787 running for you only? If no, edit minivend.cfg and
change the TCPMap to the another port number. Two or more minivend
server on the same port cause the failure of minivend server starting,
if the TCPMap isnīt right. (I hope i write my english right.)
What happen if you start the minivend server with the command
"bin/minivend -u"?
Do you use vlink (UNIX) or tlink (INET)? 
Are the files vlink and tlink in your <vendroot>/bin?
Can you list and see all the files in your cgi-bin directory?
Can you see the owner and group of the files in your cgi-bin directory?

If the user and owner of the files vlink and tlink in your
<vendroot>/bin directory is right, copy one of this file into the
cgi-bin directory and rename it to the right catalog name. Hmmm...are
you able to delete all files in your cgi-bin directory and after that to
use bin/makecat again? Hmm...if there are some another permission
trouble/problem, the bin/makecat will tell you about this. If not! There
are another permissions trouble! Hmmm...did you look the <vendroot>/etc
directory? Has the <vendroot>/etc the right user and group name? 
Hmmm...first of all, i would suggest you to check all the permissions of
your minivend files _and_ minivend directory. Hmmm...can you see the
user and group name of your files and directories?

Maybe this can solve your problem. I would suggest you to ask your ISP
about the permission trouble. As a newbie in FreeBSD, i donīt know about
the cause of the installation failure. Hmmm...i remembered about my
former trouble of installation of minivend 3.10. Formerly, i was able to
install minivend as root and after that, i have to use the chown
command, to set all minivend files to the right minivend user and group.

I believe, the best way to install minivend is to install it as root and
use the chown command. If there are something missing perl modules for
minivend. This is the problem of your ISP only. I hope, your ISP will do
this for you.

Good lucks!

Regards,

	Joachim

BTW: 
Can someone of this list explain me, why the above trouble can happen
with FreeBSD? 
Why is the installation of minivend successfull, if you install minivend
as the user root and use the chown command to set the right user and
group name?
