I got a few error messages on all the versions.   In essence i had to
shift the interchange/bin directory to /usr/local/interchange/bin path, as
well as ensure all the permissions where set up correctly.   The other issue
related to the tlink and vlink's.  From memory I had to create them
manually on FreeBSD 4.5.   I found all the info  in the mailing list
archives or docs on how to fix
all the problems.  It wasn't a big deal though.

Most of the Internal Server errors I got related to permission related
problems

I have had Minivend 3/4  on  FreeBSD 3.1 / 3.4 and
Interchange 4.8.3 on FreeBSD 4.5 Perl 5.005_03 with MySQL and PostgreSQL
7.0 - 7.2

I didn't have any trouble at all with the UI.   Once I was able to start
interchange, everything worked as I guess it should

I wouldn't have answered as i am not in the same league as the other guru's
on the lists, sorry about that.  There are many people that answer all the
difficult and not so difficult questions posted.

Personally I think Interchange is world class software, but i think that
many have difficulty with the open source nature which means that we all
need to read the fine material and mailing lists to get it to work.. (I am
one of them at times)

I will be reinstalling Interchange 4.8.X in the next few weeks on FreeBSD
4.6_p2.  I will document the install and any problems and fixes and post to
the list.

Thanks again to the developers and maintainers
