Hi, as you seem to be able to start minivend, the problem may be with page
design. Possibly the problem happens with a browse page, trying to build
HTML from the whole database. This might cause timeouts, when you have a
big database.

Try a searchpage with a reasonable number of results per page or test
flypage by entering the product code in the URL.

Good luck.
