I checked that file and it is already set to the value:

 Orders_To         eclark   Order

This should be the correct value. Just for kicks, I set this to
a full email address (my own, srainwater@ncc.com) and restarted
again. Same error message and I still get the web page that says
"Undefined catalog".

Is it possible that there is something obvious (to the developers,
anyway) that I should have done besides just running makecat and 
restarting interchange that's simply not in the documentation? Do 
other scripts need to be run, any config files manually edited, etc.
to get a new catalog working?
