My own makecat Disfunctionality

******    message to minivend-users from mike <mike@gomi.com>     ******

I'm having problems with makecat . I'm sure it is semantics or just my
own incompetence but it has cropped up several times and I'm not finding
answers in the docs.


What is the SampleHtml parameter ? And why is does it including a
quotation mark inside the directory path  ?

Like this:

makecat demo yields:


> blah blah blah
>
> DocumentRoot? "/usr/local/apache/htdocs"
>
> # Where the sample HTML files (not MiniVend pages) should be
> # installed. There is a difference.  Usually a subdirectory of
> # your HTML directory.
> #
>
>
> SampleHtml? "/usr/local/apache/htdocs"/demo
>
> # Where the image files should be copied. A directory path
> # name, not a URL.
> #
>
>
> ImageDir? "/usr/local/apache/htdocs"/demo/images
>
> end blah blah blah

This is also has me confused.  Obviously htdocs is / for my httpd.



The specified HTML directory, "/usr/local/apache/htdocs/miketestsimple",

is not a subdirectory of DocumentRoot. This will make it
hard for us to guess the URL needed to access pages from
the catalog. Please re-specify your HTML document root.

# The base directory for HTML for the catalog, the DocumentRoot.
# This is a file name, not a URL.


Thanks in advance
