Yes, learn how a functioning system looks and why it works the way it
does.  Don't expect makecat to do everything.  There is the daemon
process, a "link" program, and your web server.  That's it.  You need
to get permissions and paths right.

Saying the error.log does not give any clues is absurd.  The url
"was not found on this server" so you are not even getting to ic.
What do the web server logs say?  Where **is** your request going?

mydomain.com.com?  Include **real**, not retyped and reformatted logs.

This is, BTW, a FAQ; I'm just ranting about people not learning how
to read logs, etc....
