Both in interchange.cfg, AND catalog.cfg Take a look at the reference
manual, to see what options are available in each one.
I was getting a "Runtime Error: Magic number checking" After the perl
upgrade. Did a search from that found out the listings in the
archives. Found out there is a Storable incompatibility problem, which
causes the gdbm files, to become unreadable.
Summary of solution -> delete all your old gdbm files, and let IC rebuild
them from the text files.
Though if you're all ready using 5.6.x, I don't know how much this'll help.
The way I deleted the gdbm files is "rm -rf products/*.gdbm" Since I'm
using the gdbm (GNU DataBase SomethingorOther) IC auto-magically
regenerates the missing gdbm file from the .txt, .asc files. Whether or
not this behavior is the same using db (Berkeley Database?) I dunno. I
would imagine so though. Make sure that you export the current db to their
respective text files before you go about deleting them, as it would suck,
if it rebuilt itself from old outdated info.
