I removed all trace of my old catalogs.  Every thing looks OK.  The gdmb
files and MySQL files are all created.  BTW, I do use mysql.  This is a
default install from scratch using /usr/local/interchange/bin/makecat

I tried it as user interch and root  I have a test1 and test2.  One
was done as root and the other was done as user interch.  Both have
the exact same problem.  Moving it causes this error.  I have removed
everything and build things as user interch and as root with the exact
same problem.  I am not sure exactly how the *.asc files are handled.  I
see the lock file is created and the error above.  When the file is moved
I get this message.

198.60.105.176 Y6Vspr7G:198.60.105.176 - [24/March/2006:15:46:16 +0000]
test1 /cgi-bin/test1/admin/index.html Runtime error: open read/write
/usr/local/interchange/catalogs/test1/products/access.asc: No such file or
directory

I suspect some has change with how the .asc files are used/locked.  I did
the following before I started...

# rm -r /usr/local/interchange
# rm -r /usr/lib/apache/htdocs/interchange-5
# rm -r /usr/lib/apache/htdocs/test1
# rm -r /usr/lib/apache/htdocs/test2
# gunzip interchange-5.4.0.tar.gz
# tar xf interchange-5.4.0.tar
# cd interchange-5.4.0
# /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL
# gmake
# gmake install
# cd /usr/local/interchange
# /usr/local/interchange/bin/makecat
# ssh -linterch
$ /usr/local/interchange/bin/makecat
$ ./start

See start above.  I used the exact same username and password as in IC 5.2
and answered the questions exactly the same.

I have never seen this problem before.  IC 4.6 works as well.  I remove
and follow te above for each version of IC.  All work till I get to 5.4.

Thanks,
