If i remembered right, there is a bug and M.H. will fixed it in the
next version. There are a problem to use another port number, if there
are more than one minivend server running in the same machine. If you
start the minivend server with the command like

bin/minivend -u

or 

bin/minivend -u -r (restart)

minivend server will start in UNIX MODE ONLY. Regarding "...server
unavailable..", make sure you use the bin/makecat once more and make
sure you choose the UNIX MODE. You canīt access minivend server with
the tlink (for INET MODE), if minivend server is running in UNIX MODE.
Maybe anywhere is a wrong permissions too?

Hope, this helps a little bit!

Regards,
