RE: [mv] Installation Problems



Don't install minivend to a cgi-bin directory, but to an application directory , outside of html space. Minivend will run several catalogs and you only need the relevant files in your public html or cgi-bin areas..

Subject: [mv] Installation Problems

I'm new to the world of ecommerce and online shopping, so please accept my apologies if I sound a bit silly.

As a website designer, I have been searching and testing out various online shopping application for integration into my client websites.

After lengthy searched on the internet, I managed to track down Minivend ( ver 4 )

I downloaded the Unix version onto my local machine and then FTP it to my hosting company with a view to install and test. I have a few problems so I unzipped it local to my machine ( using WinZip ) and then FTP the minivend installation files ( in binary ) to my clients account ( /usr/users1/<account>/cgi-bin ) on the hosting company server.

I went to install minivend onto the server remotely ( via ftp - apparently the hosting company in there wisdom has denied access for telnet ). When I get prompted to enter the directory to install minivend, I entered:-

    /usr/users1/<account>/cgi-bin/minvend

Upon pressing return I got the message :-

    cannot chdir to ./lib: No such file or directory

After this message, the installation terminated and I cannot continue with the installation.

I have approached the hosting company for assistance, but again in their infinite wisdom as dragging there feet to help.

Is there anybody out there who can give me help me with installing / configuring minivend remotely ?

The hosting company uses:-

    Perl version 5.004

    Dec Unix 4.0E

    Apache 1.3.6
