[ic] We're sorry, the Interchange server is unavailable...

[Ryan Hunt]

Ahhh, I was waiting for someone to ask this question. This took me a long
time to work this out...

If you are using the FreeBSD port (which I did) it mungs up where the socket
file is. 

I can't remember exactly where the setting is held, but check these places:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/interchange.sh
/usr/local/interchange/interchange.cfg
/usr/local/interchange/etc/mode.unix

I think when I installed it had something like /!!###!__VV VARIABLE/socket
and for some reason doesn't work under FreeBSD.

It's all working fine, it just can't find the correct socket to connect to.
When you find the correct file, send to the list how to you fixed it. :)

Ryan.

Hello!

I have installed Interchange 4.8.7 on a FreeBSD 4.7 system. But if i
call the shop, i get report always only following: "We're sorry, the
Interchange server is unavailable..."

The Interchange-Deamon is running under the user interch in
/usr/local/interchange.
The CGI is running under a webuser.
Permissions from the CGI are 755 and is owned by this webuser.
The catalog-files lies in the home-directory from this webuser.
catalog-files owned by user interch.

It seems so as if the script cannot communicate with the Deamon. But why
not?
I have already searched the Web but unfortunately not found a solution to
this problem.


Many thanks before!

Best regards,
