Re: [mv] Undefined catalog: -- solved
****** message to minivend-users from Lester Herran-Venables <lesterhv@home.com> ******
Finally!! I think I solved my own problem, but not through any special creativity... I
rebooted.
I had just been ./restarting up until now, but had to boot into windows for something -- when I
came back, everything worked.
I noticed that when I tried to restart though, the script told me that Minivend not running -- it
couldn't find the pid -- that with the system working. Oh well, I won't complain about it
working!
And now to figure out why the MySQL tables won't create.... the fun is just beginning...
