One quick way of verifying the connection would be to issue the  
following commands:

# lsof -Uu interchange

This returns the list of unix sockets opened by processes being run  
by the interchange user.  If IC was configured to use a local unix  
domain socket (the recommended setup), this should include the socket  
that IC is listening to.

Verify that the socket file is the same as the link script is  
configured to use by:

# strings /var/www/cgi-bin/standard | grep socket

If the returned paths do not match, then your vlink script is  
incorrectly configured.  You will have to build a new vlink script  
with the same socket location that IC is expecting.

HTH,
