I didn't look at that agoracgi.com yet but recently came across a
high-priced commercial package that is called agora as I recall.

While you are at it, what I currently miss on the new Akopia site is:

- a feature comparison for minivend and/or interchange and some other
  popular packages (especially commercial ones - someone mentioned
  Openshop, I'd like to add VShop at least)
- a list of sites that use it (ie, on the old site there was a  large list
  of stores done with minivend)


Apart from my own dumbness I never had a problem installing this, but
so far a production grade store is "in the works", but not finished.

So far I like to do as I did earlier with minivend:

- untar the distribution, cd to that directory
- ./configure and answer some questions
- ready... (under a stock Linux installation)

You might try to install Bundle::Interchange from CPAN if you really
miss something.


I didn't read up on your specific problems yet, however.
