Wether they are all necessarry... I don't know.

I ran makecat and accepted defaults excapt for:
 the databasetype where I chose mysql
 the DB User = root
 the PAssword for the DB user is empty


The interchange server is running in Unixmode.



With this my catalog built sucessfully.

Trying to access the shop via browser resulted in the "We are sorry..."
screen 
AAARGG!!!

I checked permissions in /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ic, everything OK.

Read many many Mailinglist articles, nothing really solved my problem.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now the clue:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The cgi makecat created was somehow not functional. So I repaced it by the
allready existing one:
cd /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ic
cp foundation mytest

chown interchange:interchange mytest
chmod 4755 mytest


Now it works as far as I can see.

Any comments?
