Bill -

No, I had not edited anything - the demo installed with the usertags not 
working.

I still have some kind of permissions issue with this install.  I cannot 
stop or restart the sever without getting the "Could not lock file: 
Permission denied" error.  Instead, I have to use the unix "kill" command.

Since I posted the usertag question, the whole install is coming 
unraveled.  I started poking around in minivend.cfg and catalog.cfg and 
strange errors are showing up in the catalog. I am not doing anything that 
I don't do all the time with other 3.1x installations and am using all the 
same tools, but all of a sudden the catalog cant find the cart, can't find 
itself... wierd stuff.

I am doing a new install. If you have experienced any of these things and 
have any ideas, please let me know.
