RE: [mv] Newbie minivend problem with URL formation.. solved..
****** message to minivend-users from Chad Day <chad@beachassociates.com> ******
Yeah.. just got it going.. a problem with my ScriptAlias in Apache, it turns
out. It was a bit hard to figure out because the ALINK error is what jumped
to attention.. though I'm not exactly sure -why- it generated that error ..
either way, it's not valid HTML to leave a tag like that blank, so that
should probably be cleaned up.
Thanks for all your help and being patient, Ed.. appreciate it.
Chad
