Hi again,

I've posted a few questions already and I just found out that all my
problems seem to come from the VariableDatabase directive. For some reason
the .gdbm gets created and the values are not used at ALL...

catalog.cfg:
--BEGIN--
### Variables are inside ~/products/var.txt
Database        var     var.txt TAB
VariableDatabase        var

ParseVariables  Yes

### Path info
VendURL                 http://__SERVER_NAME____CGI_URL__
SecureURL               __SECURE_SERVER____CGI_URL__

ImageDir                __IMAGE_DIR__/
ImageDirInternal        http://__SERVER_NAME____IMAGE_DIR__/
ImageDirSecure          __SECURE_SERVER____IMAGE_DIR__

### Misc stuff
MailOrderTo             __ORDERS_TO__


### Database setup
...
--END--

I have the file products/var.txt and products/var.gdbm. Also, when I do a
"configdump catalogname" I see that NO values are correct.

the var.txt is a (1)TAB delimited text file that looks like:
code    Variable
SERVER_NAME     domain.com
SECURE_SERVER   https://domain.com
IMAGE_DIR       /images
CGI_URL /cgi-bin/catalog
DSN     dbi:mysql:catalog_db
PRODUCTS_SOURCE products.txt
ORDERS_TO       orders

Any help would be appreciated...
