[ic] 4.8.1 bin/makecat issues (foundation)

[Pann McCuaig]

A couple of things cropped up while I was gently customizing a catalog
based on the foundation demo as shipped with IC 4.8.1 .

Funny thing number 1:
--------------------
In the file .../interchange/tpe09/config/additional_fields, if I
change:

!CACHEDIR
The base directory for sessions and temps
	/var/cache/interchange/__MVC_CATALOGNAME__

to:

!CACHEDIR
The base directory for sessions and temps
/var/cache/interchange/__MVC_CATALOGNAME__

the session dir is created by bin/makecat, but user interch has no write
permissions, and the catalog won't run.


Funny thing number 2:
--------------------
This is a typescript. Note that the following line is ignored further
down the page, and the database creation attempt is made using the
catalog database's specified user, who has no CREATE permissions (in my
case):

Extra options for creation: ......................-u root -p

You can use Interchange's companion configuration
interface, to do upload/download of files, manipulation of
the database, reconfiguration of the catalog, and much more.

To enable the UI, you will need a "super-user" account
name that has full access.

The initial password is "pass". CHANGE IT! You can do this
by going to the admin menu and selecting the superuser and
then "Change password".

Account name that will control this catalog: .....pann
Administrative password: .........................xXxXxX99
Set to 1 to display demo helper features in your store: ..

Found system commands to run.

Since you selected the MySQL option, you need to create a database named
"tpe09". In a default MySQL configuration, any user may create
and drop and modify test_* databases, but some administrators disable
this.

run "mysqladmin -u dogbert -pSAdams create tpe09"? y


Cheers,
 Pann
