major problem! cant buy anything!
Help! I am just about ready to officially launch my new shopping cart. I have been testing it today though and it all goes fine - adds to cart and does the right totals etc. The prolem is when you try to join up, after you fill in the required details and click "submit", there is an internal server error! Any help to fix this would be so appreciated. the store is sitting here: click to go
Re: major problem! cant buy anything!
I'm not sure if this is the specific problem that you were seeing, but your SSL cert has expired and my browser splashes warning signs over the screen whenever I try to access secure pages, such as checkout or my account.
Re: major problem! cant buy anything!
yes it has but not worried about that as the site isn't 'launched' yet. I just can't open an account! Can anyone else?
Re: major problem! cant buy anything!
I get an internal server error 500. This is the message:
The page cannot be displayed
There is a problem with the page you are trying to reach and it cannot be
displayed.

Re: major problem! cant buy anything!
the only thing i recall changing in the create account process was to take out the need to enter a dob. Could I have done that wrong? I can't find the file that I would have edited, maybe if someone can tell me which file that is you could have a look and see if I have done an error...I am so desperate, I am ready to open the new cart except for this, after months of work.
Re: major problem! cant buy anything!
I guess I don't ask the right way or something? I have done my best not to bug the boards while spending months getting the cart ready and it is great, but it isn't working. I've used the tutorials, browsed for most of the help I needed, but this I can't fix. Perhaps someone would be kind enough to just have a look. Or maybe have a suggestion. This is stopping the launch of it.:(
Re: major problem! cant buy anything!
No direct answer here, but I did a forum search on "HTTP 500 Internal Server" and there were many threads with suggestions for debugging, e.g. try with default template, check the CGI/PHP server settings, check server logs for more clues, etc.
Re: major problem! cant buy anything!
OK,
its is 100% the certificate,
in firefox when i tried checkout it told me the certificate expired warning, then i added an exception to the page (to allow me to view even though certificate is invalid) and it went right through perfectly.
Either renew the certificate or remove the security from the page.
Re: major problem! cant buy anything!
i don't know how you did that. I disabled SSL in the admin/includes/configure.php, and in the includes/configure.php, and its been no change.
Re: major problem! cant buy anything!
okay, I added the Debug Error Logging utility and ran the login page which doesn't go on to load the create_account page. Then checked the debug file to see if it had recorded any errors. It found one Parse error:
unexpected T_STRING in /var/www/vhosts/ebaby.co.nz/httpdocs/estore/includes/languages/english/create_account.php on line 25
Now, this is the create_account.php file up to around there. Note I have used the backup I have of this file and it didn't rid the problem. Can you see anything in my code I shouldn't have?
