       The Minivend 4 RPM is designed to integrate Minivend with
       a stock Redhat installation. It places logs and run files
       in fairly standard locations, i.e.:

       Configuration
           Configuration file is /etc/minivend.cfg. It is only
           writable by root.

       Data
           Catalog directories, at least the demos, are located
           in /var/lib/minivend.

       Invocation
           Invocation is the normal /etc/rc.d startup method.
           Minivend installs to be active in run levels 3, 4, and
           5; to be killed in all.

           IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not expect
           /usr/local/minivend/bin/restart to work!

           Minivend uses a special invocation script, located at
           /usr/local/bin/minivend, to start the Minivend server.
           This is called by /etc/rc.d/init.d/minivend.

       Run Run files go in /var/run/minivend/*. The subdirectory
           is needed to allow the Minivend user ID to
           write/create files.

       Logs
           Logs go in /var/log/minivend/*. The subdirectory is
           needed to allow the Minivend user ID to write/create
           files.

       The Minivend RPM makes several assumptions:

       Stock Apache
           Minivend relies upon the following things in the
           Apache installation:

            -- Server root in /home/httpd
            -- ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/httpd/cgi-bin/
            -- Hostname as revealed by `hostname` is the ServerName
            -- SuExec not enabled

           If you have SuExec enabled, you are responsible for
           changing permissions and running parameters
           appropriately. You can typically disable SuEXEC by
           running chmod u-s /usr/bin/suexec.

           If you want to continue to user suexec, you will have
           to compile the appropriate INET mode link program and
           use it instead of VLINK.

       Logs
           Logs are located in /var/log/minivend.  Minivend drops
           a file in /etc/logrotate.d to do log rotation.

       Run files
           To place the logs, configuration, and run files in
           standard Redhat/LSB locations, Minivend relies on a
           special invocation from /usr/local/bin/minivend.  In
           other words, don't expect
           /usr/local/minivend/bin/restart to work.

           Minivend will be started by this command:

               /etc/rc.d/init.d/minivend start

           and will be re-started by this command:

               /etc/rc.d/init.d/minivend restart

           or possibly:

               /usr/local/bin/minivend -r

           The run files, i.e. UNIX-domain socket, catalog status
           files, will be placed in /var/run/minivend. That
           directory must be owned/writable by the minivend user
           ID.
