Hi,

I am new to interchange and this list (hello everybody) and I my linux skills are 
near to idiot, but I know a good bit of perl and HTML so I want to give this a try.

I got myself through installing the construct-store quite okay. But I got stopped at 
the point where the actual server is started. When I type
su -c "/usr/local/interchang/bin/interchange -r" interch

I get:
-----------------------------------------
Killing Interchange server 25687 with TERM.
Low traffic settings.
Calling UI....
...UI is loaded....
Interchange V4.5.7
Configuring catalog construct...
Couldn't change to /home/name/data/interchange/catalogs: Permission denied

construct: error in configuration. Skipping.
construct: config error -- Couldn't change to 
/home/name/data/interchange/catalogs: Permission denied
Interchange server strated in INET and UNIX mode(s) (process id 26010)
----------------------------------------

What am I doing wrong?
The Quickstart says that permissions are simple and referrs to the 
documentation, in the documentation it says: "let the install routine do the work"...
I did that.

I already tried chmod -R that dir to 0777 (just for testing) and also tried chown -R 
interch.interch
Also I assigned the user interch to some more groups (e.g. root) but didn't help.


this is the system: Red Hat Linux 6.2  Apache


Thanks for your time and help,
