In Minivend, the 'special' pages were located in yourcat/pages/special. In
Interchange, they were relocated to yourcat/special_pages. The SpecialPage
directive is still relative to the pages directory, so assuming you ported
your old catalog.cfg to IC, and you want to use the 'new' missing.html
page, you would need to change:
SpecialPage missing special/missing
to:
SpecialPage missing ../special_pages/missing
Send the shirt to Shaq with my regards, I could make a jumpsuit out of an
XL and still have material left over :-)
