[ic] Status of server error generating bug in rpc mode?

[interch]

Found it....

The problem is in dummy_database in Data.pm.  backup is defined as an
anonymous sub it looks like for some reason which I didn't bother to
follow, and I don't completely understand what is going on here it looks
like it is trying to get the structure here or something for it and of
course it doesn't exist, so $class is then undefined and it bombs.  I
changed the die to a logDebug and a next and that is working as a
temporary fix until someone that knows more than me can fix it correctly.
Here is the fix I put in that seems to work.



sub dummy_database {
        my ($name, $data);
    while (($name,$data) = each %{$Vend::Cfg->{Database}}) {
                if (defined $Vend::Cfg->{SaveDatabase}{$name}) {
                        $Vend::Database{$name} =
$Vend::Cfg->{SaveDatabase}{$name};
                        next;
                }
                my $class = $db_config{$data->{Class}}->{Class};
                unless ($class) {
                        ::logDebug("no class found for database %s",
$name);
                        next;
                }
                $Vend::Database{$name} =
                                new $class ($data);
        }
        update_productbase();
}
