Re: [mv] Undefined catalog:

******    message to minivend-users from Lester Herran-Venables <lesterhv@home.com>     ******

Hi folks,

I'm still getting undefined catalog errors despite applying the fix mentioned below.

Here's my saga so far:

1. I deleted all previous installs of minivend, even removing the user account, so
that I had a pure virgin system.  (I had version 3 running well)
2. Installed the .rpm of 4.03 -- minivend created a user 'minivend' on my machine
3. Tried to run it. -- got an error, -- minivend couldn't read /usr/local/error.log
4. Changed permissions on that file to user minivend
5. Got a permission denied to /usr/local/minivend/etc/minivend.pid -- changed
permissions of directory

at this point I got a little careless about documenting my efforts, but basically went
about  changing permissions as errors came up until I had a system that would load the
simple catalog.  But it wouldn't load more than the first page -- all of the links
were not to the server that I specified, but to crdva1.bc.wave.home.com -- a host name
that I have to have in my system for my internet connection to work.

I added the line

variable SERVER_NAME  lesterhv.dhs.org to my /usr/local/minivend/minivend.cnf file and
restarted.  Still no change.

At this point I read your post and edited /urs/local/bin/minivend to point to
/usr/local/minivend/minivend/cfg

Wonderful -- this got the simple demo going.

So I ran makecat and made another new catalog -- calling it test2

I type in lesterhv.dhs.org/cgi-bin/test2, and still get

-------->Undefined catalog /cgi-bin/test2

Any ideas, anyone?

Thanks
Lester.
