[ic] Unknown charge type: authorizenet

[Patrick J. Walsh]

John,

    Thank you for your generous responses.  I again made all of your
suggested changes and continued to hit the "unknown charge type" brick wall.
So I downloaded the code and picked through it.  That error comes up
specifically when the "Require Vend::..." line in interchange.cfg has
problems or is missing.

    As it turns out, when I asked my hosting provider to add that line and
restart Interchange, they added it and restarted interchange by sending it a
HUP signal.  Somethink like: `kill -s HUP 01234`

    Apparently, however, the HUP signal does not cause Interchange to reread
its configuration files (?).  When I asked my provider to run the
`.../bin/interchange -restart` command, the error disappeared.

    Once everything is working (hopefully gpg will go smoothly) I may come
back and write a FAQ with all of your info combined with the other stuff I
pulled together.  Thanks again for the help.

..Patrick
