Looks like your mvend homedir  is owned by root... permissions on that
directory and all subdirs should be set to the user that Minivend is running
as example: if MiniVend runs as the user "mvend" then do this:

Unix prompt#> chown -R mvend:other /usr/local/minivend    --- then try it
again.. all probs should go away :)

Hope that helps

Joe

Indeed, somehow I managed to have 3 minivend processes going. I shut them
all down and then used /usr/local/minivend/bin/start

to start minivend again.  Now there is only 1 process ruinning, however
in the error.log file I get this when I start up minivend....if this is a
permissions problem could someone point me in the right direction?

- - - [21/February/1999:22:50:17 -0500] - - _mv_admin config error:
Couldn't open '/usr/local/minivend/admin/products/database.asc'
read/write: Permission denied

- - - [21/February/1999:22:50:17 -0500] - - _mv_admin: config error.
Skipping.

so I look at /usr/local/minivend/admin/products/  and see this:

-rw-r--r--   1 root     root          161 Feb 21 21:47 database.asc
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root          107 Feb 21 21:47 directive.asc
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root           59 Feb 21 21:47 locale.asc
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root          534 Feb 21 21:47 products.asc
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root         3433 Feb 21 21:47 wizard.asc

should these be chown'ed to minivend:minivend?  and if so, I might ask
should the configure script not have done this?

Regards,

Greg
