I guess I forgot to mention that.  My system is configured with
apache,openssl,mod_ssl, ssleay,rsa,mysql all installed from tarball NOT rpm
as is standard.
interchange was installed from tarball, This was done primarily because
apache lives in /usr/local/apache NOT /etc/httpd

as you surmised.. I was using ps aux to know if it started, and when I
issued the command su -f -c /usr/local/interchange/bin/restart interch it
starts with a bunch of data running across the screen like the docs state it
will.

The documentation states the "basic, simple, barry" are included and
