Dr. Byte,

Thanks for replying. Here is the info:

Zen-Cart 1.3.9h

Error SGS-020005: Error (Merchant config file is missing, empty or cannot be read).

Not sure what you mean by "end-user activation of the staging server". Am a sysadmin tasked with testing credit cards & linkpoint functionality on a new ZC install for a customer.

Reading your post, I guess I was wrong that the quickest way to test credit cards & linkpoint functionality without paying linkpoint immediately is to setup a quick staging server account.

If Zen-Cart doesn't support the staging server account then we'll have to wait for the customer to signup for a linkpoint account through their bank before we can test if transactions actually work in Zen-Cart.


(BTW, this thread is one of the top 5 hits on google for the error mentioned above. Should people not respond to old threads? Is it better to start a new thread when good info about this error has already been posted by yourself and others in this one? Thanks for any clarification.)
