USPS Module Not Working

[spar303]

I am getting this error when going to checkout, and we are only using the USPS shipping module:
"We are unable to find a USPS shipping quote suitable for your mailing address and the shipping methods we typically use.
If you prefer to use USPS as your shipping method, please contact us for assistance.
(Please check that your Zip Code is entered correctly.)"

I have tried this fix:

Make sure that you have the current January 2, 2011 C version of USPS from post 26:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=171314

Follow the instructions to:
1 save current USPS settings

2 remove current USPS

3 upload the new version

4 install the new USPS

5 reconfigure

And I tried using this module as well:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=1914

And I am now back to the default module that ships with the zen cart install.

I am using:
* Latest version of zen cart
* Hostgator shared hosting
* PHP Version 5.2.17

I also tried signing up for a new web tools ID from USPS with no success. I am out of things to try to get this to work, and am wondering if anybody else is experiencing this problem even after trying all of the fixes that are presented here.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

I believe the most current version for that module is August, 2011 (the one you mentioned). Try removing it and reactivating it.

The current version the January 2, 2011 version C from post #26 of:

Be sure to test check that you have the current version loaded on the server ... most errors people have is installing the wrong version or installing incorrectly ...

What are your settings on the Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging ...

What is the Ship From?

What is the Ship To?

What is the Weight being testing?

I tried Marco's version and get this error:
[01-Sep-2011 17:15:32] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function getName() on a non-object in /home/....../store/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php on line 915

Here are the settings I am using:

Here is an example XML response from USPS that we're getting:

Also I forgot to mention that the USPS module had been working for a long time and just recently stopped working.

Also, we are shipping from Seattle Washington and trying to ship to various addresses in the united states.

You show a missing function from Marco's version of Zen Cart but you are showing an image from a different version of Zen Cart ...

You need to see if you have mixed up the files and what is actually installed for USPS on your server ...

Make sure that you have no backup or renamed files on the shipping modules in the directory:
/includes/modules/shipping

and that the files in the directory:
/includes/modules/shipping

are the code files and the files in the language directory:
/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping

are the language files ...

The image of our settings is from the usps module that ships with zen cart. When using Marco's version I used the exact same settings with none of the extra options set that Marco's version offers.

I also am very sure that I have not mixed up the files when I try each version, and there are no extra/backup files in any directories.

The strange thing is that this started happening without making any changes to any files or the database, so when this problem arose it was not related to doing any updates or changes to any files whatsoever.

I'm totally stumped.... I almost wonder if something with Hostgator's server changed that could be doing this.

Also when trying Marco's version I also made sure to upload the language file as well.

Which USPS module are you using ... the January 2, 2011 version C or Marco's USPS shipping module?
