create a user called minivend
install minivend in /home/minivend/mvend
cd /home/minivend (where minivend is installed)
chown -R minivend mvend
then do makecat. you shouldn't get the error.
edit the /var/named/named.host file on primary DNS server to add virtual domain.
then do a ndc restart.
edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and add virtual host at end of file. do this on the
host that runs minivend.restart httpd /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
restart minivend on minivend server. /home/minivend/mvend/bin/restart AFTER
finishing the makecat.
