Thanks for this... I think you could be right. When installing (with the
damned cgiwrap) I wasn't entirely sure where I should put the CGI stuff (I
presumed it didn't matter with cgiwrap) so I just placed it in the web
directory (i.e. same place as www.mydomain.com/index.html ). 

minivend.cfg shows: 

"Catalog       simple /home/sites/home/users/mvend/catalogs/simple
/simple.cgi /simple"
mine shows
Catalog       simple /home/mysite/catalogs/simple www.mysite.net/cgi-bin/simple /sim
ple secure-www.mysite.net/cgi-bin/simple

Ive used the full url tag and no cgi wrap

catalog.cfg shows:

"Variable    CGI_URL         /simple.cgi"
mine shows
Variable    SERVER_NAME     www.mysite.net
Variable    CGI_URL         /cgi-bin/simple
Variable    SECURE_SERVER   https://secure-www.mysite.net
Variable    ORDERS_TO       mwjames
Variable    IMAGE_DIR       /simple/images
Variable    DOCROOT         /home/mysite/htdocs
Variable    SAMPLEHTML      /home/mysite/htdocs/simple
Variable    SAMPLEURL       http://www.mysite.net/simple

Hope this helps

Cheers
Michael

Does this look right to you?

Many thanks,

Tom..
