Setting up Minivend on RHL 5.2 w/ Perl 5.005_02--HELP!!!!!!
****** message to minivend-users from raisplin <raisplin@rcn.com> ******
Hello,
I am new to minivend and to the list. I am having problems with
installing Minivend on my Redhat 5.2 system.
Here is the basic jist of what I have done and what happens.
1. Made a new virtualhost in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
document root for this host is /www/docs/store.domain.com
CGI Directory (via ScriptAlias) is /www/cgis/store.domain.com
2. ran the configure script from the Minivend-3.11 directory in /usr/src
(where I untarred it
to)
3. answers to questions in ./configure are as follows with any errors
that appeared:
I am substituting 'domain' for my actual domain. Note: if values
were already in
brackets were correct, I only pressed 'enter' and did not actually
type them in. they
are included here for the purpose of being thorough.

MiniVend can use either UNIX- or internet-domain sockets.
Most ISPs would prefer UNIX mode, and it is more secure.
If you already have a program there, or use a common program
and the FullURL directive, select NONE. You will then need
to copy the program by hand or otherwise ensure its presence.
INET or UNIX mode? [UNIX] UNIX
Checking directories........................................
/catalogs/simple: directory exists!
/www/docs/store.hcvn.com/simple: directory exists!
The above directories already exist. Overwrite files? [n] y
Add catalog to minivend.cfg? [y] y
Start the MiniVend server? [yes] yes
Do you want me to start it as 'minivend' now? [y] y
## ERROR HAPPENS HERE ##
MiniVend V3.11
_mv_admin config error: Couldn't open
'/www/docs/store.hcvn.com/admin/products/d
atabase.asc' read/write: Permission denied
_mv_admin: error in configuration. Skipping.
_mv_admin: config error. Skipping.
Configuring catalog simple...done.
MiniVend server started in INET and UNIX mode(s) (process id 24167)
Start Netscape with http://ns1:7786/mv_admin? [yes] no <--note NOT using
Netscape because am telnetted to the server from home.
ok, so that's my config. before I did that config, I had previously
cd'ed to /www/docs/store.domain.com and did a rm -Rf * to remove anythign
in the directory and leave me with a nice clean directory. I had also
done this for /www/cgis/store.domain.com.
It appears that the permissions are a problem on the mv_admin. Here are
the permissions for all the files in the direcotry with database.asc:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 161 Feb 20 18:09 database.asc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 107 Feb 20 18:09 directive.asc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 59 Feb 20 18:09 locale.asc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 534 Feb 20 18:09 products.asc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3433 Feb 20 18:09 wizard.asc
and when I go to my newly configured http://store.domain.com/simple or
http://store.domain.com/cgi-store/simple
http://store.domain.com/cgi-store/simple returns with a 404 error and
http://store.domain.com/simple returns with "The Art Store", so obviously
something worked right, however....ANY link that I click on that page
returns a 404 error, so I am thinking that something is not right as if
it is a demo, the fetures should at least work more than "hey look, here
is the first page...ha ha ha, too bad you can't do anything else.."
so, now for the brief version...what am I doing WRONG here? I have
gotten the exact same results even on a earlier version of PERL and I am
stumped and very frustrated....this is 5 days into trying to install
it....
Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided,
Greg Evans
