The rampant trigger execution bug of b8 has been fixed. The non-executing trigger bug of b9 has also been fixed.Unfortunately, Cybercash processing seems to be broken in b10. All of my transactions receive a status of:[MErrMsg]rather than an actual response from Cybercash. This happened over a 4 hour period (10am-2pm today). Here is an excerpt from my Webmerchant log:11/10/1999 13:44:07 Processing 6314575985 with CyberCash 11/10/1999 13:44:07 Sending CyberCash Account:************4122, Expiredate: 09/02, Amount: 16.14 11/10/1999 13:44:07 status: [MStatus], authnum: [auth-code], response: [MErrMsg], batchnum: , refnum: [ref-code], sequencenum: [order-id], itemnum: , address_response: [avs-code] 11/10/1999 13:44:07 Order was bad, sending email to webmaster@tfaw.com.

I don't think I would have ever seen this bug if I wasn't testing on a totally silent server. If you're monitoring the server with page sentry or similar, the problem is solved for you within 5 minutes or so anyway.It should be noted in the trigger docs though.>Grant Hulbert , Director of R & D ********************************** >Smith Micro, Internet Solutions Div | Formerly, Pacific Coast Software -Dale ---- Dale LaFountain mailto:dalel@darkhorse.com Vice President of Information Technology, Webmaster Dark Horse Comics, Inc.
