Installation Completed - Can't Start Server



Hello.
I just subscribed to the list.
I'm trying to install MiniVend 3.14 on a BSDI BSD/OS 3.1 (virtual server). 
Perl is version 5.004_04 built for i386-bsdos.

The installation went fine except for starting the minivend server. After 
installing Minivend a few times, this is what I discovered.

When I try to start the server with the start command or from the 
installation, the telnet session seems to hang - but it's actually trying to 
run multiple processes. I discovered this because when I do "ps aux" from a 
different telnet session (session 2) while the first session (session 1) is 
hang, it says "no more processes", but as soon as I press ^C on the session 
1 and do "ps aux" again on the session 2, I can see bunch of processes. When 
I finally get a prompt back on the session 1 after I press ^C, all the 
minivend processes are gone again. I also get an error message on the 
session 1 saying "Apparently no MiniVend daemons were up -- no PID files.".

I did check the archive, and saw several people are getting this error 
message, but I couldn't see solutions to this problem. Could someone please 
tell me what's going on with my server? Upgrading Perl will be my next step 
if no one has any other suggestions.

Thanks,

Kayo
