Here are two instances of trying to start the server. The first was with
'bin/minivend -u', without changing anything. The second, I changed TCPMap
to 8080 and did 'bin/minivend -start':

No they are not.

There are no minivend-related files in my CGI-BIN. I haven't gotten that
far; I don't have a catalog installed. I am still trying to get the server
installed and running in mvend/.

Been there, did that, to the best of my ability, and according to you and
others here is one suspect thing - the group name - , but I don't know how
to change it: the ISP doesn't have chown available(to me) on this server:

I messed with the file permissions, so if they seem odd, it is because of
me, but note the group membership of the files. Should this be set to the
username? Does that mean I need a new entry in the group list?

Thank you, Joachim. Your English is better than that of many Americans I
know. The ISP is trying to work with me on this - I am going to forward
this message to them for their reference. If you have any other comments,
please send them along.
Incidentally, I also tried version 3.14-5. Make test did not fail, as it
did for 4.02, but when the server started, I had exactly the same error:
"Cannot lock file: Permission denied." There is definitely something amiss
on the server side.

Ed L.
