******    message to minivend-users from "Cameron B. Prince" <cbp@InternetExpertsLLC.com>     ******

This was a non-critical error on my server. The way I fixed it is as
follows:

1. cd mvend/lib/Vend/
2. chmod 744 Config.pm
3. edit Config.pm and change as follows:


ORIGINAL CODE

sub parse_url {
    my($var, $value) = @_;

    config_warn(
      "The $var directive (now set to '$value') should probably\n" .
      "start with 'http:' or 'https:'")
        unless $value eq '/mv_admin' or $value =~ m/^https?:/i
        or $Vend::InternalHTTP;
    $value =~ s./$..;
    $value;
}




MODIFIED CODE

sub parse_url {
    my($var, $value) = @_;

    config_warn(
      "The $var directive (now set to '$value') should probably\n" .
      "start with 'http:' or 'https:'")
        unless $value eq '/mv_admin' or $value =~ m/^https?:/i or
'/config/menu'
        or $Vend::InternalHTTP;
    $value =~ s./$..;
    $value;
}



All you need to do is add or '/config/menu' and it will make the error go
away.

Be sure to chmod Config.pm back to 444



Hope this helps...

I accidentally hit the ^X button in Pine and the message wisked away,
about 50% done.  I apologize for the extra traffic and the trouble this
causes everyone

The Rest:

I believe this error is being caused by this piece of code in the
menu.html file (~/lib/MiniMate/pages/config/menu.html) :

<UL>
<LI><A HREF="[directive-value VendURL 1]" TARGET="_blank">
[L]in new window[/L]
</A><BR>

<LI><A HREF="[directive-value VendURL 1]" TARGET="_top">
[L]in top of this window[/L]
</A><BR>
</UL>

I think the error message is generated twice (once for each appearance of
the [directive-value VendURL 1] tag.

I double checked to make sure that no errors of this type are generated at
catalog start, and that no errors are generated using the store normally.
I also checked to make sure that VendURL was set properly in my
/cats/isim/catalog.cfg (the location of the isim [catalog w/ problem])
file.

I have not looked at the other stores on the server for this trouble, but
I *think* that MiniMate would generate the same error, regardless of
catalog.

I will test this, and if it reveals anything interesting, I'll post more.
The problem doesn't seem to cause any REAL trouble, but I thought perhaps
I could fix it and save some space in my error.log file ;)

Thanks --
Cory
