Why did you change the server.pm? Your previous e-mail (from Fr. 23.06)
told to me, you are using an Operation System, which print out any
message in france. For example 'Appel système interrompu' instead of
"Interrupted system call".
The message

tell to me, you are using an Unix machine. In Unix, it is very easy to
run all Interchange stuff for the special user (for example
"interchange") and set the localization of this user to the language
"English". You can't be sure, there is a _one_ file only (Server.pm) and
what is, if you get a newest Interchange version?

This is unclear! It seems to me, you want to use any SQL table?
If yes, this is another story! At the first time with Interchange, try
this fine program without any special wish like SQL and make sure,
Interchange runs fine and you can visit the demo shop well.

If anything is going wrong, look into the error.log file of Interchange
_and_ catalog first to get more informations or hints.

This is a problem. Interchange is very complex at the first time,
because there are many kind of causes, to get any kind of problems.
Without any more Information in detail, it is difficult to help you.
