Ed,

OK, let me get this straight; I ran the makecat script. It created a page I
can view, which has a link to the catalog. When I click that link, I am
logging into a page which does not exist?

The Apache error log has a path it tells me is not found. The path shows a
file (geminicat.cgi) masking as a directory /geminicat.cgi/index.html so I
can't get the permissions right.

How is it that someone else has gotten this to work? I am no stranger to
CGI, Apache, Perl, etc. I should be able to get this to work, yet obstacles
continue to impede me and the client for whom I am setting up the store is
wondering when he can start to sell things.

Sorry to be dense, but what could be the cause of this?
