Running Zen Cart behind a load balancer works just like any other website in a Load Balance/High Availability setup.
Couple things to think about (some of which you already have), for your benefit...
rliddle, if you've switched servers three separate times within the same hosting company, I'd say it's pretty clear that there's something wrong with that host.
I recommend you hit up our Hosting...
If you aren't seeing any performance issues, then you have enough memory.
If things start to choke, take a closer look.
Like so many of these things, whether or not 756 MB of RAM is enough depends on a number of things. Such as...
Traffic levels
Size of your database
Complexity of Zen Cart products (i.e. do...
(Per discussion with Ajeh) When you're not logged in, items in the shopping cart exist only in the session. As soon as you log in, those items get permanently stored in the database. In this case,...
I'm afraid you've run into the all-too-common scenario of having outgrown your server. Time to upgrade. :smile:
Hey Keith. As Zen Cart's resident "server tech guy," Linda asked me to step in and offer some advice.
Based on Linda's encyclopedic knowledge of product attributes, we believe that the server is...
The Zen Cart Admin is designed to serve webpages, and has no native recognition for cron jobs. However PHP code located in the Admin (or anywhere else for that matter) can be executed in a cronjob.
...
I think you may be overthinking your problem. Why not move your code into the Zen Cart admin. I don't see why your conversion couldn't occur on a page inside the Admin...
I see your point, smartypants. The point _I_ was trying to make was that there are some baseline expectations for any host, and a response like, "We couldn't solve the problem with our own servers"...
[Edit]
Another possibility would be running your site through a proxy, which complicates things even further. Again, this is all on your host to solve.
When that happens, it could indicate that Apache is running your site in CGI mode. Combined with PHP Suhosin, and your host is trying very hard to keep things very secure. Perhaps too hard.
I find...
Whoops, looks like I spoke too soon. Totally forgot that the install process has been rewritten to actually generate configure.php on the fly if not already present. The dist-configure.php files are...
It's not essential to renaming the admin because this code doesn't impact admin renaming at all.
So it's less than "not essential," it's actually irrelevant. :smile:
The only changes to configure.php -- both in the admin and catalog -- were omissions (old defines removed) and comment text. Neither of these will impact an upgraded store, so using your current...
This variable is an artifact, left over from versions as early as 1.2.0. It's not connected to anything and is completely harmless. It will be removed in a future release, nothing to be concerned...
More technical detail:
Human-readable web browsers are fairly flexible. Even if they receive an error code, they will still display any page content returned along with the error code response. They...
As an IT guy, this is a red flag for me. Without removing the hardening from the equation, we cannot rule out that your server is getting in the way. Would it be possible for you to carbon copy the...
Britney, there's a huge text box above the post box called "Posting Tips" with some important stuff.
Read that, do what it says, and respond accordingly. :smile:
We are using a new approach in coming versions, which will make this issue irrelevant. Furthermore, this will never come up on an XHTML validator because the page sits behind the login veil. If you...
Until 1.5.0 is officially released, this forum will centralize developer discussions for the recently announced 1.5.0 BETA.
If you are an addon developer, or are taking 1.5.0 through a test-run,...
Seconding Kuroi's observations, we definitely need more info...
Tell us about your server setup. Is it shared hosting, VPS, or dedicated? What OS?
Did you install Zen Cart yourself --...
Super Orders does not have the functionality you're describing, sorry.
Obvious question first: Did you perform an upgrade on the database using the installer that came with your 1.3.9h download? Manually "migrating" your database to a new version is unwise and not...
Google dropped support for IE6 early this year. That's good enough for me to ignore them.
Zen Cart is not tested on NGINX, which does not receive nearly as much attention and scrutiny as Apache. So you're using it your own risk.
The "it's kinda slow" complaints are notoriously hard to...
Mind sharing the tool you used?
I'm sorry, lele, but I was not able to reproduce the error you are seeing. I installed a fresh copy of 1.3.9f and followed the same steps from your screenshots.
Do you have any 3rd party custom...
Alright, I'm going to set up a clean install of 1.3.9f and see if I can make the same thing occur.
So you are saying that if you make the changes you suggest, then it works? Do you think you found a bug?
How are you adding multiple products to the cart? Did you make any other changes?
Okay, better idea. I'm going to circumvent Zen Cart's date conversion code entirely and let MySQL do the math. That way it doesn't matter what date format you use.
Look for a new v1.6 later this...
D'oh, total brain fart on my part. You're right, I'll take another look.
From your screen shot it looks like everything worked as expected. You had several emails all within a few days of each other, you chose to delete them, and they were gone. Is there something there...
That problem has been fixed, and a new patch has been uploaded to the add on page.

Awesome stuff! That flex is well deserved.
Stickying this thread for the benefit of all. Would you be willing to answer additional questions if anyone has them?
@fedexguy: Thanks for stepping up and offering those clarifications! :bigups:
The fact that FedEx offers API access without any strings attached is news to me. When did that change occur?
Also...
rlexyd, how exactly did you go about changing the date format?
Did you follow the instructions in this FAQ article?

You guys with the login redirect issue, are you using the Admin Profiles plugin, or similar access control system on your admins?
Sorry, went underground dealing with some non-Zen Cart stuff.
You're right, that date isn't correct. I'll look into this further.
Glad you like it, rlexyd. :bigups:
The Trim functionality doesn't even look at your date formats. Since the date selections are preset radio buttons (1, 6, or 12 months), there's no date to enter,...
Are you sure the inverse isn't actually the case? Have you confirmed with the customer that they only ordered the 2 items in the email invoice, and not the 5 items you see in the admin?
When writing a post, there's a big box called Posting Tips above the one where you enter your text. If it doesn't lead you directly to answer, it will at least guide you in how to provide enough...
Care to share what happened and what you did, for the benefit of those who follow your trail in the future?
It sounds like your CC payment module is in test mode. Test numbers do not work when you put the module into production mode.
What's your payment module, and is it configured correctly for a live...
The "upgrade" option during the install refers exclusively to the DATABASE, not the files. You can use a completely fresh, clean copy of the code, and pull in your database by going through the...
I don't see a gap, did you fix the problem? Care to share what you did?
Re-upload the files. It sounds like either they got corrupted during transfer, or you put them in the wrong place.
Have you made any customizations to your email templates?
Using a copy of your existing DB, install a "new" shop without any of the templates or addons you've listed, and see if you get the same buggy behavior.
If you do not, start adding pieces back in,...
