James,

Usually I find on this list that the more experienced IC guru's
don't respond to these 'how to get started' questions, because
they've truely been asked a hundred times and can be found in
the listserv archives. However, from time to time I try to
answer the question(s) that I'm most familiar with or have experienced
my self...although I'm no guru.

I know exactly the message you are receiving. In my case it means
that products.txt was not imported, i.e. in your catroot/products/
you may not have a products.sql. If so and at any regard restart
Interchange.

It's always done the trick for me. Check your variable.txt as well to
make sure your variables are correct.

Have fun...
