[ic] Install help please

[Jerry O'Brien]

I've really tried to do my homework and not bother everyone with stupid
questions, but I'm still not getting 4.6 installed right. I get through
creating the catalog with no errors, I can get the front page with the
customer and admin links, but after that I get lots of server errors. I
can't get to the customer link at all, and only the content, page editor,
reporting, and administration links work out of the admin section.

The apache server error log shows:

[Sat Nov 18 16:05:32 2000] [error] [client 208.35.151.7] Premature end of
script headers: /home/www/cgi-bin/sampson


the error.log in the interchange home directory shows no errors:

- - - [18/November/2000:14:36:58 -0600] - - Low traffic settings.
- - - [18/November/2000:14:36:58 -0600] - - Calling UI....

- - - [18/November/2000:14:37:00 -0600] - - START server (23987) (INET and
UNIX)

and there is no error.log in the catalog directory

There are no tables in the database "sampson", but makecat didn't complain
as it was creating the MySQL db.

any advice please?

Interchange has a workable internal database, but many things will
work better (and a few worse) if you use a SQL database. Interchange
can configure MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle in a test configuration.

Set to 1 if you want to use MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Oracle: ..1

You can select this to use MySQL in your test catalog. Careful!
This requires the ability to create a database named "test_construct",
and is highly dependent on your Perl and MySQL configuration. Don't
be too surprised if this doesn't work.

Set to 1 if you want to use MySQL: ...............1
Database to use (will be created): ...............sampson
DBI DSN to use: ..................................dbi:mysql:sampson
Username for MySQL (if any): .....................sampson
Password for MySQL (if any): .....................pass

We can try and use mysqladmin to create the database in
MySQL. In many default MySQL distributions, any user can create
a database beginning with "test".

Use the next option to add parameters. If your MySQL is password-protected
(and you know the password) you may want to add "-u root -p".

Set to 1 to create 'sampson' with mysqladmin: ....1

To create the database you may need to supply a password and
username. To do that, add the option "-u USERNAME -p", where
USERNAME is a MySQL user with permission to create databases.
This is often the user "root".

Extra options for creation: ......................-u mysql -p

You can use Interchange's companion configuration
interface, to do upload/download of files, manipulation of
the database, reconfiguration of the catalog, and much more.

To enable the UI, you will need a "super-user" account
name that has full access.

The initial password is "pass". CHANGE IT! You can do this
by going to the admin menu and selecting the superuser and
then "Change password".

Account name that will control this catalog: .....interchange
Administrative password: .........................pass
Found system commands to run.

Since you selected the MySQL option, you need to create
a database named "sampson". In a default MySQL
configuration, any user may create and drop and modify
test_* databases, but some administrators disable this.

run "mysqladmin -u mysql -p create sampson"? y

Found additional system commands to run.

To enable image upload feature, you need to make a symbolic
link of the image base directory into your catalog directory.

nworks/sampson/images /home/interch/catalogs/sampson"? y
Add catalog to interchange.cfg? y

Done with installation. If my reading of your input is correct, you
should be able to access the demo catalog with the following URL:

        http://www.sampsonsteinworks.com/sampson

In any case, you should get direct access at:

        http://www.sampsonsteinworks.com/cgi-bin/sampson

That is, after you START or RESTART the Interchange server.  8-)
It is best done with:

        /home/interch/interchange/bin/interchange -r

For session expiration, you might want to place a line like this in your
crontab:

44 4 * * * /home/interch/interchange/bin/expireall -r

It will prevent the session databases from getting too large.
