No, I wasn't referring to Merchant, although that would be next... :-)

The Empressa ... lousy docs on the .pkg (actually wrong for the RaQ3i,
period).  

Soved it thusly, after following the .pdf Miva supplied documentation,
these addtional things are necessary (I found).

must put copy of miva executable in each Virtual Host site cgi-bin

you must delete the <AUTH TYPE> tag in the authfile
instead, just have the auth entries, and you must give the full paths to
the mivadata directory

example in authfile (for the owner of site1, which happens to be user1)

user1=/home/sites/site1/mivadata

=======
That's it.  The problem is that the owner of the files, when they are ftp'd
in, is the site owner, for instance, and that user must be specified in the
authfile.  For the owner of the site, you want that to be the site's
mivadata setup, not the "owner as a user's directory/mivadata".

This worked for me.
