mivavm-v5.19/cgi-bin/

-The 'mivavm-v5.19' is the Miva Merchant Empresa Binary the actual 'Miva VM' this article is about 

- Copy this file to your private or global cgi-bin

- MVM GLOBAL INSTALL  : Determine the location usually ScriptAlias'ed in the Apache Configuration File (httpd.conf)

- MVM PRIVATE INSTALL : There is usually a cgi-bin the site root directory

mivavm-v5.19/lib/config/ 	

- This release of the Miva Virtual Machine ships with two configuration libraries: "lib/config/3x.so" and "lib/config/env.so".   

   "3x.so" is a configuration library that provides compatibility with the configuration file used by v3.x of Miva Empresa.  

   "env.so" is a configuration library that obtains configuration values from  environment variables.          

The Miva Virtual Machine first looks for its configuration library as "libmivaconfig.so" in the current directory.   

If this file is not found, then the engine tries to load the DSO identified by the environment variable MvCONFIG_LIBRARY (if set).  

For security reasons, the owner of the configuration library must be either the same as the user executing the Miva Virtual Machine, or root.  	

MVM GLOBAL INSTALL  : env.so 	

MVM PRIVATE INSTALL : 3x.so 	 

Which ever library you will be using copy it to the same location as you mivavm (in the cgi-bin) and rename it to libmivaconfig.so
