RE: Error when trying to select item from index page

["Thompson-Jordan" <Thompson-Jordan@mindspring.com>]

******    message to minivend-users from "Thompson-Jordan" <Thompson-Jordan@mindspring.com>     ******

Often this kind of error occurs when you do not have the permissions on
the "simple" program in you cgi-bin directory. If you can see
www.yoursite.com/simple, but not www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/simple then the
problem is something to do with the "simple" program. Check the error.log
file in both the minivend directory and the simple catalog directory. Also
make sure that the "Catalog" directive in minivend.cfg is correct.

There are many reasons why it might not be working. Check everything you
can think of to start eliminating things and if it still is not working,
remember when you post a question here to include the key lines from you
config files and tell specifically what you have tried. Good luck.
