Problems With Installation of New USPS Shipping Module

[lat9]

Yes, here are three out of ten from yesterday:

[24-Jun-2014 14:49:50] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class usps in /web/store/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php on line 20

[24-Jun-2014 14:33:32] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /web/store/includes/languages/english/shopping_cart.php on line 13

[24-Jun-2014 14:50:11] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class usps in /web/store/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php on line 20

It looks like you've got two issues:
1) The parse error in /includes/languages/english/shopping_cart.php (separate fix)
2) You've renamed your old USPS shipping module to something like usps_older_version.php instead of something like usps.php.older_version. Zen Cart loads all files that have a .php extension from /includes/modules/shipping, that's why you're getting the class redeclaration error.

Could you also check that you do not have any old, renamed usps.php files such as usps.fred.php or oldusps.php or .bak files etc in the the directory on the server for:
/includes/modules/shipping

Changed code as per your instructions and it put the wording back into the blank space.

function usps() { // for older php < 5.1.0 change to usps() instead of __construct()

I'll try a re-install now.

Re-install was successful, blank area filled. Tried going through order process and get a blank window when I click on get shipping estimate. I think we're making progress however.

Did you check for extra files in your directory:
/includes/modules/shipping

to ensure that there are no duplicate loading of the files?

Can you check the /cache directory and refresh it to see if there are any new debug logs generated? If so, what are their contents?

I don't see any files like that in /includes/modules/shipping. I only see the modules that appear in ZC.
