How to do?

What do you meen? I have Telnet- and FTP-access. How to contact the internal
HTTP server manually? How can I manually improve if I have contact to it?
The minivend-server starts without any error, if you meen that. But from the
beginning after the installation I never got access to the simple catalog.
Calling http://www.homa.de/cgi-bin/simple error 404 occurs in the browser.

I tried both without success.

What base-html directory do you meen? The /www? Have you more than one?

Quite well, I see that simple /www/simple/index.html in the browser. But
when I click to the links _frames_ or _noframes_ I get error 404.

Look above! I've checked the configuration a hundred times. If the problem
would be minivend's I would get an error, but there isn't.

Yes, indeed, you knock at my open door! But what's the problem in UNIX? I
can't call my ISP to say him I have a problem. I have to say him what he
should change. Otherwise he sees no cause to change anything.

Have you any other idea?
