USPS Module Install Problems

[whitehorsehill]

Hi Linda,

I check the cache and it says:

14-Oct-2012 12:08:42] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class usps in /home/calamity/public_html/store/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php on line 1049

There are several more like this and I am not sure what the heck I am doing at this point :-( I am really worried That I messed something up royally.

Linda,

I went back and undid what I did - basically uninstalling everything back to the way it was before I tried uploading the USPS Mod.

Maybe if I start from the beginning again it will help?

Can you help me walk through installing the module properly please?

Thank you in advance for your your time and help!

It sounds like you renamed the old usps.php file or had a backup copy of it in that directory ...

1 save your settings to USPS

2 do a REMOVE on USPS

3 copy the files from the USPS ZIP to your server ... you should be loading the code file:
/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php

and the language file to:
/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/usps.php

4 go to the Modules ... Shipping ... and you should be able to click on USPS and do an INSTALL and then configure the settings ...

that should be it ...

thank you Linda,

Actually there was no USPS option in the Store back office before.... and when I looked at the original Zen cart install files under modules and there was no USPS file in there either??? Not sure what I did wrong - but I will try and reinstall the Module and see what happens.

Ummm should I do #3 or #4?? I have down loaded both files

You should try to do them ... if you do not currently have an USPS shipping module ... just to be safe, once you have the new files on the server, if USPS appears to already be installed, then do the REMOVE and INSTALL and reconfigure to ensure you have all of the proper settings ...

Okay I reinstalled the two files in the #4 zip file and when I went into my back office it gave me this error message:

ERROR: module not loaded due to missing language file: /home/calamity/public_html/store/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/usps.php

Where do I find this file to upload?

Make sure you downloaded the v1.5.0 USPS shipping module:
http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1292

There is both the USPS language module file and the module code file ...

when unzip the download you should see:
\USPS v15 Ratev3\includes\languages\english\modules\shipping\usps.php
\USPS v15 Ratev3\includes\modules\shipping\usps.php

copy the language file:
\USPS v15 Ratev3\includes\languages\english\modules\shipping\usps.php

to your server:
/your_root_or_your_store_directory/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/usps.php

copy the code file:
\USPS v15 Ratev3\includes\modules\shipping\usps.php

to your server:
/your_root_or_your_store_directory/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php

then follow the steps to install it ...
