1. url to your admin interface:

http://www.your-domain.com/~your-userid/cgi-bin/cart.cgi/admin/login.html

url to your cart home page

http://www.your-domain.com/~your-userid/cgi-bin/cart.cgi

2. The dirs created by interchange under cpanel:

/home/your-userid/catalogs/your-userid    (this is the main dir for your
cart)
/home/your-userid/www/cart                    (include a navigating index
page and images)
/home/your-userid/www/cart/images         (all images go here)

the link cgi:
/home/your-userid/www/cgi-bin/cart.cgi

3. To rebuilt your cart

a) rename the above dirs as backup for your previous work
b) remove the link cgi
c) reinstall interchange from cpanel
d) copy useable previous work from the backup made in step a)

For renaming your dir, you can do through cpanel's file management, or ftp,
or ssh. If you are not familiar with ssh's liine command, I would suggest
you to use cpanel or ftp.
