Hosting minivend with an ISP

Hi there

I just joined this list, read the past archives but I couldn't 
find an answer to the problem I have with minivend.

I am building an ecommerce site using minivend. I did it 
once before, and it worked after the usual configuration 
hassles. I have no problems with the first implementation 
since i have some control over the server. 

However, I have a second client which needs to have his 
site hosted with an ISP. I have developed the app on my 
server and it works wonderfully. But I can't get it to work 
with the ISP. The ISP assures me that it is a domain 
account, and i have full access to my CGI-BIN and 
HTTPD deamon (which I did).  

The problem is when I start up minivend, and try to 
access the cgi-bin/simple demo, it gives me the "500 
Internal Server Error". Logs mentioned the generic 
"Premature end of script headers:"

This has me going for a couple of days. I noticed that on 
the same physical server, some other account is already 
using minivend and is running correctly (I tried their site). 

One day, the ISP rebooted the server and my catalog 
started working. However, the other account's minivend 
did not start up (I guess they didn't put it an automatic 
start minivend on reboot). 

So, is there any documentation on how to deal with this? 
I am pretty sure that it has something to do with 2 
minivend deamons running on the same physical server. 
However, I have a domain account which was suppose to 
logically separate the server in virtual machines, doesn't 
it?

Are there any documents on how to fix this?
Also, are there any personal recommendations for ISPs 
that works with minivend? I would like to deal with an ISP 
who knows about the product. Preferable in the Chicago, 
IL USA area. 

Thanks for any help.
