You should start over. Do not install mvend/ in your cgi-dir or htdocs 
directory; install it somewhere above those.  Ditto for catalogs/.  Your 
current configuration is not likely to be secure.  In any case, this link

http://www.tisbook/com/tools/simple/index.html

...is bogus.  If anything, it should be:

http://www.tisbook.com/tools/simple/index.html

You might want to pull this up in your browser, just to see what you get.
