[ic] redhat 9, interchange 4.9.8 rpms, perl 5.6.x

[root at kbknet.com]

well, I removed all the 5.8.0 perl and replaced it with 5.6.x versions.

interchange starts, and can connect to it on
http://localhost/cgi-bin/foundation , however, I cannot connect to it
from within my apache virtual web server.

I get the default error message"We're sorry, the Interchange server is
unavailable..."

I don't think that this is a perl issue, as the only 5.8 perl item left
on my system is apache's mod_perl, which I don't think that interchange
uses.

Any suggestions????

Thanks,
Keith
